The real gems of record cabinetry are the 1960s/1970s Lane Furnishing Pull open record cabinets. Made of quality hardwoods and beautiful to look at. I have one of the nicest rare ones that I was lucky to come by.
Very good record storage solution are square (35x35x25) IKEA Eket shelves. When shelf is put on the back, the records fit in perfectly from the top and are slightly protruding, allowing easy browsing through your collection.
@@xyanide1986 Eket is assembled with plastic “bolts” and thin plywood on the back (in this case, the bottom), which makes it surprisingly durable and rigid. It holds the records quite well. I added the IKEA leather handles on the sides to carry it around.
for what it's worth, Ikea also sells a sort of box with two foot stools which is pretty excellent. the top is a good coffee table and, when you take the footstools out, it's just the right size to be a good record box (12''x12''x36'')
I live in a small flat. I use Vinyl crates that I purchase from my local Record Store. To date I’ve 5 crates stored against a wall in my living area. Each crate holds between 50 or 60 albums so far I’ve filled four and a half crates. Mind I don’t buy everything, just Jazz, The Blues and Vintage Soul, good job really as I don’t have the space lo.
I've had the uo rack for years and the first records get a little squished on the edges, so i'd recommend it if you put a few records but keeping it full damages them :(
@@astra-rb6szBookcases. All my 2000 CDs are in bookcases and all in alphabetical order. I was lucky that my last job they were throwing away these items. I grabbed 9 of these all made from real wood so like I said I was lucky and they are beautiful (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
That was another vinyl storage disappointment. The truth is that there is no revolutionary storage and display solution. Just more videos of the same old stuff....
Not sure what country you live in, but I just bought a better homes and gardens shelf from Walmart and it is fantastic. I got the 2x3 and it is definitely made using cheap materials, but it holds a bunch of lps without bending. I put the unit sideways and it's doing well. No bend to the shelves and it gives me room to stack my 7 inch mini crates on top. I own almost 2000 records so I am going to have to order two more, but it's working for me. Switching from milk crates to this has opened up my space by miles!!
Both of you are dumb. Why don't you buy your own plywood and make room dividers? Easy money. And that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
@@SolventAbuseVideoand @billdenton5774, there is a display solution for vinyl storage. I know because I have what everyone needs for your vinyls. If your interested get a hold of me (from 976-CREOLEMAN).
i am looking for the large wooden display cases like they have in the record stores when you go to buy. Does anyone know what they are called or where to find them. I have a huge vinyl collection that I love flipping thru to look at the covers. Thanks for any assistance.

Aren't the backs of ikea cupboards just held with tiny little tack nails? Would it hold them records?

Cool. Can you remember what it’s called? Happy spinning 🎶🎧
Great job on the cabinet! The legs and paint job fit the style perfectly.
Thanks! Yea, it's a nice feature in the living room when sharing the vinyl experience with family 👍🎶

I am very happy with my Flipbin as I have on top of my ~1000 record collection as a New Arrivals bin, fits about 35 records and looks cool! 👍
New sub. Love this video and anything vinyl related. Look forward to delving into your content.
Welcome aboard! Happy spinning and enjoy the music
What’s the blue grey unit that you have? Nice to see a good colour!
That mid century one you updated looks great!!! Cheers, Rob
That was from Homebase if I recall. Like a KALLAX, but a cooler colour and with hairpin legs 👌🎶
Thanks! Yea, love the old retro units!

Thanks again for another nuanced breakdown of practical solutions for the hobby. You need more subscribers, for sure given your quality of content.
Does tv screen affect or damage vinyl records if they are shelved next to it or underneath it?
Am I overlooking a link to the Bespoke unit?
I don't have just lp's but lots of cd's and dvd's. And books on different bands, labels etc... Definitely have too much stuff!! 😳😳😳
Me too

What about Really Useful Products range of boxes? 😉
Good one, they make them specifically for vinyl and are available in most countries.
