    Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    Since jumping back into vinyl I have been trying to figure out how to store my expanding collection. Searching on Amazon and other places I was finding mainly storage boxes like we used in college or really junky built crappy racks. Also I am not into having another custom bookcase made and I prefer not taking up valuable space from books in our built in book case.

    I finally stumbled across something different. Very nice hand built racks out of real wood. A couple in Ohio started this company building these really nice vinyl storage racks.

    I just spoke with one of the owners, Brit. A very nice lady; her and her husband build these by hand. I wish them all of the success they deserve. I ordered one from her. It will take 6-8 weeks since they build them by hand out of my choice of hard woods. I picked Cherry!

    If you are looking for something better to store your collection in I suggest taking a look at their website.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    I just read Robert Harley from The Absolute Sound had some really nice things to say about these vinyl storage racks!

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    I got one of the stand up album racks. It will hold everything for the foreseeable future and I can add others later if I so desire! I decided to get this instead of the double or triple units because of size considerations in my room.

    Hehe... they can make more ...

    Going to be a while but it should work great for us. Cheryal really wanted a nicer piece of furniture then the.... hmmm... stuff that was being sold on Amazon.

    Really nice Lady, fun conversation. They seem like good people!

    Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    I recently bought a unit from Ikea. It is called Kallax.

    They come in different sizes and colors.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    I use and love the LPBIN2 bins. For $330, each holds some 500+ records - sturdier and much better functionality than the Ikea Expedit/Kallax. Not as nice looking as those handmade hardwood units, but a joy to use, if you don't mind making part of your room look like a record store (I don't). Love the large top front-facing bins for browsing. I have 5 of 'em now.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    Those seem like some pretty nice units as well. My wife really liked the wood furniture racks, but its nice to see other choices. Trying to find some "better" units out there I did not find a lot of good choices.

    As a rule most anything you find is just going to be a variation of what we all grew up with in the record stores as they worked. The LP Bins are just a more attractive version of the racks we had when I worked at Record Bar in college. Yours have just moved it from "finished" plywood to hardwood.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    True true.... when they work they work.

    It will be nice when it arrives ...

    When I was searching it seemed more often then not what came up was the crates type bins that we used in college. Fine for a dorm room but definitely not getting wife approval. Then there was a lot of crappy built things mainly on Amazon. I was happy to stumble on a couple nicer built units like the ones you guys have and the Prathermade ones.

    I've been purchasing the Prathermade boxes as well. They were doing special order black rods for me, but now that's an offering on their website. I just ordered one more. Brit is great to deal with, and it's nice to support a small family business.

    I ordered 2 of these from https://www.modernshelving.com/colle...minum-shelving

    That picture was early in my room evolution. The monitor by the audio stack has been replaced with a music stand, that I put the playing LP jacket on.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    Randy, Thanks for the post and link. I also do not plan to collect hundreds of albums and need something small and nice looking. It's a little expensive, but so is the rest of this hobby plus it is a quality pc of furniture.

    I like the same one and totally agree on the Amazon offerings. Will show this to Mrs Shadow

    I cannot vouch for the quality, yet. But I believe it will be fantastic! Brit was an absolute joy to work with. Takes some time to get one, but being hand made solid wood I expected that .

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    Looks like a solid unit. It really comes down to what fits your needs. I know my wife would not want it, too retro looking like it was from the 60's or 70's . She prefers the solid wood look.

    Awesome, they definitely work for you in your room! Lots of vinyl there ... we have three guys in our audio club that literally have dedicated rooms for their vinyl ....

    Nice boxes, shame there is no way to get them in the US without international shipping

    If there is, please let me know where you can order from in the US.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    great looking suggestions across the board gents, I am somewhat surprised that not one 'competent wood worker' in the group has not chimed in to let us know how much $$ we could save if we made them ourselves !

    I guess I should have payed more attention during woodworking class 50+ years ago !
    Cheers ! …. Dave

    Now that is a vinyl fanatic if ever I saw one . It has to be a chore just keeping them organizing and picking out which one you want to listen to .

    a chore is doing the dishes or taking out the rubbish.

    playing with vinyl is magic

    - btw, everything is strict alphabetical except for classical, soundtracks and various artists so I can find most albums very quickly. You will notice some albums are poking out in the shelves - that enables easy album returns.

    cheers

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    FWIW... I have cataloged my entire LP collection for the first time.

    Using Roon, I created a "My LP Collection" Tag. Then I added the digital versions of my entire LP collection to that tag (I used Qobuz).

    So now, I use Roon to "browse" my LP collection using my iPad. When I decide what I want to play, I can find the album in the rack and play it. Or I can just listen to the digital version if I am too lazy to get up from my chair.

    I think of it as a wine list. I browse the list, decide what you want to drink, and then go to the cellar and fetch it.

    As an extra benefit, I printed the list of my (digital version of...) LP collection and saved it for future reference. Now I know the albums that I own!

    Here me another option, coming from Washington State.

    Seems simple, well built and reasonable.

    Re: Vinyl Album Storage Rack

    Looks like another good choice. My wife would never accept the look, she wants more of the furniture look and feel, but it definitely appears to be built solidly!

    I use Discogs to keep track of my records. Whenever I clean new, or new to me, records, I enter them into discogs. I can access the collection on my phone, when tempted to buy something.
