Missing first sentence in post above: Do you have a Home Depot or Lowes nearby? Both home improvement stores rent trucks by the hour inexpensively. Or check the Ikea store - they might offer hourly truck rentals too (the one in New Haven does, for example). I rented a van from a Budget kiosk in Ikea when I needed to transport a half - dozen "Billy" bookcases home. I think it cost me $30.
anyone use ikea for lp racks?

looks like it could be a nice lp rack, but ikea stuff is notoriously cheaply built and the dimensions listed are not too helpful. but taking the total heights/width and dividing by 5 and taking 1.5" off per opening for the boards I come to roughly 13x13" openings which would be good for lps, and figuring 65lps @ 200g/ea per 13 linear inches i get ~29lbs per shelf, right at the listed max weight capacity. seems too good to be true.
I'd be curious to hear if anyone else uses this for lps, and whether or not the shelves look like a compound bow after a year or so...
