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?

Heh, heh. I already own the Ikea Expidit piece and am using it for something else. After reading Rushton's suggestion, I took an LP upstairs to see if it would fit the IKEA piece..voila!, perfect. I'm going to the Ikea website to order one right now. Thanks Rushton for your suggestion.
