Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection?


Hi All, 

Has anyone had success storing a large vinyl collection (2000+) in the Ikea Eket shelves? I'm worried about the weight restrictions per shelf. My current shelves hold about 40 lbs. per shelf, but the Eket is rated only 15 lbs per shelf. Any experience with this?

Plus 2! for the Kallax shelving, you can buy single or double ones and stack them sideways or look at a huge quad! . This is one of the best products for holding vinyl period!

I use a Kallax double which I lay sideways then I lay a single on top of that using nothing but some 2" diameter thin rubber washers (more in the middle), the weight of the records is more than enough to keep everything in place, this gives 12 squares for vinyl. I have the whole thing up against the wall about an inch out because of baseboard. I love this setup for vinyl.
