Do a search on Google (and eBay) for Lundia shelving. Lundia is made under license in a number of countries, including the United States. I use the 36" by 12" shelves and 84" uprights. Lundia says each shelf will support 100 kgs with no danger of sagging, and in my experience they are correct. Construction is solid wood - no plywood or glue-and-sawdust composites. With 5 usable shelves, each unit stores about 1100 LPs. I bought some over 20 years ago and my ex is still using them. Recently found enough used ones to store about 10,000 LPs, for the bargain price of $70. These are used in stores, so look for them at a local supplier to the retail trade. Many public libraries in my area have them, and I've seen them in law libraries, too.
How To Store Record Collection?
Currently storing vinyl collection (1,700 albums) on Metro metal wire shelves. Looking for recommendations for bookcases, shelving systems, cubes, etc. Particularly interested if anyone has tried the Cubitec modular system? Trying to decide whether to go with off the shelf furniture or have built-in units constructed.
I've read that albums weight approximately 40lbs. per linear foot. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
