two of these and you're done for a quarter of the price. pick your own finish and you could spend the remainder on something to put them on/in that doesn't look like it came from a record store liquidation.

Nice try, etsy seller WoodDogStudios.

Seriously guys, just put them in pizza boxes. Mediums work best, but Large will work in a pinch. If you're a pathetic person who orders Smalls, you can use those for 45s and 10s.

Thanks, but I would need about ten of them for the same capacity and then something to put them on.

Different strokes for different folks and yes, it looks like it came from a record store liquidation. I like it because it has front facing shelves that I can browse easily. Maybe that isn't something you care about and you're fine cocking your head to the side and staring at spines, that's cool too.

Believe it or not, if that's what you're looking for, this is kind of the only game in town, unless you want to spend even more money or live in Europe.

I'm not sure what you're all so butthurt about here. It's a simple piece of furniture in the specific style that I want that will fit in the space that I have and not look like I dragged it out of a dumpster. $250 is not some huge price to pay for that. If you legitimately think that's overpaying, feel free to steer me in the direction of the same product yet cheaper or better.

Sorry if I'm not buying into whatever aesthetic or life philosophy I should by clicking buy it now on the internet on some shiny new thing. Maybe I should be spending my time endlessly crawling through alleys to find some janky poo poo that is ugly as gently caress to save a few bucks instead? Let me know.

Hot take: a record store I frequent recently got two of those shelves in, and they seem pretty sturdy. I personally wouldn't use them because I like just finding the spine and grabbing the record but whatever. I'm just happy that I found some Herbie Hancock in one of them.

Yeah you (well, I) can get two of the largest ones for 250 but of course if you don't have a lot of space that doesn't make sense.

e: Actually they only sell Kallax now and I have Expedit but same difference.

We have a few big ones of the expedit and haven't had any problems but also they only hold Lego and movies, which are not as dense as records or books

i've just dumped my records in a nice looking crate and have them laid out kind of like this person's:



that tarp idea sounds pretty good, though, and it makes me question how i've been approaching the issue of storage...

i store my records stacked horizontally and balancing on top of a bean bag

also the mdf shelf in question is ugly, but $250 is not expensive for furniture, sorry guys

This cost like $60 in wood to make and is way better than the typical crates.
