How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please!

Greetings all,

I'm looking for a more elegant solution for my records. I currently use a a large deep wood bookshelf but have run out of space and the style is no longer produced by the company so need to figure something else out. Which got me wondering what most folks use to store their records.

Looking for recommendations. Ideally I'd like a manufacturer that's currently in business so I can add on more shelving/units as needed. 

Please share!

Also, has anyone tried any storage solutions from these folks? I like the aesthetic and being in a NYC apartment being able to attach to the wall is a big bonus.

Records should be stored upright under just slight pressure. You fill a space until you can just get your finger in between. Partially filled shelves
with the records leaning is not good. I have a large bookend that I use in the partially filled space. 
I just finished building a walnut built in equipment and record cabinet that will store 1600 records. I'll have room for another 1000 records in a sofa table book case style cabinet. 
If you google record storage you will find hundreds of commercial examples. You have to pick what is best for your situation. We cannot do that for you.
