| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! The shelf's rating is per cube the same as it is for the Eket, except the Eketwill only hold half the rated weight of the other two. Laying the Kallax or Expedit on their sides defeats the purpose of being screwed from the top not from the sides. ... | |
| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! The Kallax and the earlier Expedit series would collapse from improper installation not by design. They need to be fixed to a back wall and that's just common sense. The directions support it and the brackets are supplied. Knocking the product fo... | |

The benefit I was seeking was to allow easier dusting and to relieve some of the strain on the connections from the weight of the cables. For those reasons it worked. As far as sound im... | |

Started buying in the late 60’s but in 1970 got a part time job in a record store where almost every penny was spent buying albums.
