This looks to have 25 slots, 5 X 5. I have the one that is only 4 High, and I believe 5 slots across width wise.
So this one being higher does have to hold more LP's. That said, mine is at least 70% full, and I am very satisfied with it. A good thing, because I have spent several thousand on my racks for my components. I believe you will find a bit on this subject if you search Ikea in the discussion forums. I think most recently there was talk of someone that built or used a steel type cross bar to add to the structural integrity if their Ikea. Mine has movement to it when pushed, but not anything to worry about IMO. I suppose if mine was close to anything or anyone it could do harm to, I may go for the piece of mind of a cross brace... Just a reminder that I am either 16 or 20 slots only though. It's been a while, but somehow I thought mine was less than $199 as well, which would make sense as it is smaller. If it helps, let me know if you want me to confirm the size when I get home later.
