Tags Matching: Shelf

Right now my records are in Ikea Expedit Series Bookshelves. They are about $90 each and basicly 8 13″x13″ cubes all stuck together so there are 8 sections that all fit records. I know someone that has a monster one with 25 $199) sections thats filled, but you gotta screw that one to the wall to avoid potential issues!

Anyway, not sure how I found this on eBay, but I thought it was pretty cool until I saw the price…. $260 (+$53.29 shipping) is pretty insane. I asked the seller a few questions and sent the auction to a friend.

The seller said “The LPBIN is made using all 3/4″ industrial strength MDF. The finish is a synthetic laminate (not real wood) that is very durable. it is 44″ high, 22″ deep & 28.5″ wide. The bin will hold 560 LPs.”

My friend said, “We can build two of those for less than $100 worth of wood and I’ll do most of the work.”

I said “Thank you”

I’m thinking about having him make one of them a little wider and putting in a seperator so that it has 1 row for 12″ records and then 2 rows for 7″ records. Once I get these built I’m sure I can find another use for my Ikea shelves.
