LP storage? What do you use?


I am looking at how I store my lps. I currently store then in several ways.

(1). Shelfs bult into closet, on edge, with book ends to keep straight.

(2).6 milk crates with lps on edge.

Any input? What are others doing out there?

CWD solid oak cabinets. I don't think the company is in business anymore. They come in all different sizes/configurations, w/or w/o casters, glass or wood doors, finishes, etc. Built like brick ****houses. Worth it if you can find them used.

Also, I scored a few solid oak 6 ft. tall bookshelves a few yrs. ago at a closeout price (about $300 each). They are unbelieveable--I can fill them with several hundred lbs. of LP's & or books or magazines--& they look great. Keep checking your local papers, "want ad" type publications, etc. is my advise. And the Boltz stuff is built great; if you like the look.
I use my closet because I don't listen to records. Nyaahhhhhhhhh!

I better run like hell now, or those vinyl projectiles you guys will be throwing at the back of my numb skull might KO me.
Feel free to store them at my house :)!

I made custom shelves in my home office. Works great
I have several solutions. One is a bookcase that Target has as part of their "Mission" collection. I got one when they had a really good sale. It's not perfect. As is, I can only use the bottom three shelves. I could probably use the top shelf by drilling new support holes, but so far I haven't done that. (I have no trouble finding other stuff to store there.) I'm also not sure that it will last a lifetime. But, it's held up for several months, and I like the real wood.

I've got records stashed away here and there, too.

In the long haul, I've thought that maybe, just maybe, I should try to build my own shelves.

I've thought that what I might do is set it up so that I have one rack with the equipment to store favorite records, and records of current interest. Then, some sort of cheap, modular (probably particle board) shelving system to hold everything else.
