For Christmas a couple of years ago my son and daughter gave me a three drawer dresser.My son designed the unit and had a cabinetmaker build it.It is a three drawer unit.Each drawer holds aprox 140 LPs. The inside of each drawer is 13.5in deep by 23.75in wide by 8.75 H.The drawer face is 14.75in H by 26.25 W.The aprox outside measurement of the dresser unit is,30in wide by 18in deep by 52in hieght.The nice thing about the unit is I can flip through the LPs looking at the album covers.CAUTION...with aprox 140 LPs in each drawer unit The weight is balanced straight down.As long as only one drawer is pulled out at any given time.If you have children,or grandchildren, "YOU MUST" anchor the top to the wall.Just pull out and remove the top drawer and fasten thru main dresser rail supports to wall studs with wood screws.If you do decide to have something built, it must be capable of handling the weight.esecialy the drawer guide rails. The rest of my LPs I am still storing in milk cases in a storage room.Hint. Hint.

If you'll click on my systems link, you'll see my storage solution. It sounds similar to what Jea48 describes. My dad and I put it together over a weekend. Neither of us are cabinet makers, but with some forethought and a table saw, we didn't find it that difficult, though make sure your draw pulls are capable of holding the weight of a 150 or so lps. Feel free to email with any questions. |
