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?

An inexpensive, solid cabinet was found :-)

Returning to vinyl after a couple decade hiatus, I was quite happy to find an inexpensive ($24.99), sturdy, and assembled cabinet perfect for vinyl storage, and thought I would share.

It was purchased from (all places!) JoAnn Fabrics.

It’s made from 5/8 thick unfinished solid pine, 41.5” high x 14” wide. It contains (2) permanent shelves, which create (3) cubes with internal dimensions of 12.5” wide x 12.5” high x 11.25 deep. The sides of the cabinet are routed to accept the shelves, so the entire cabinet is more than sturdy enough for vinyl storage.

The manufacturer’s SKU number is: 05859947. The number on Jo-Ann’s receipt is simply 5859947.

The above price was AFTER using a 40% discount coupon. My wife advises that she signed-up to receive mailings from JoAnn’s website (JoAnn.com) and receives coupons of this type in the mail on an almost weekly basis. Moreover, quite regularly, our local newspapers contain Jo-Ann flyers/coupons offering these 40% coupons.
Cheap, but doesn't sound perfect. The shelves are too shallow. Yeah, you can use it, but it'll look sloppier and provide less dust protection.
Music Direct has a very nice lp rack, that is reasonable, $199 i think. anyway, i bought one, and have been happy with it
I notice Ikea now has something called the Markor. I haven't yet inspected in person, but it looks like it should be perfect: cheap, more than 12" deep, five evenly spaced shelves high, the bottom shelf several inches off the floor, and doesn't look like it belongs in a student basement apartment.
