How do you store / browse your collection?

Obviously shelf-storage and standard cube-type storage makes browsing records a right pain, especially once the spine gets a bit worse for wear and your can't identify the record from the side.
I've been making solid wood flip-through holders (PLUG: they are well crafted beautiful and practical pieces that make flip-through browsing super easy). Here's my Etsy shop Standing Wave Woodwork Record Holders . So far I've been making individual units that fit 35 records, but I've been thinking of creating a modular version where you could buy a custom amount of holders that could fill whatever size of space you want (in a nook or cranny, across the floor, up to the ceiling, round a corner etc).
So, apart from my shameless plug, (see below!) my question is: what would be your ideal format/size for having a browse-friendly storage set up? How many records per unit would be ideal? Obviously the more records it fits in the bigger the footprint of the holders.
Your expert knowledge is called for!

I have a standard shelf for archiving purposes... and use old soda and beer wood crates for new arrivals.
Would love one of these...
Hi and welcome,
These look nice for the people out there that have like 50 records. For me, with a bit more, this solution would take up way too much space.
Also i would be a littlebit worried about ring wear and spine wear.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Might be nice to have next to the TT for records in heavy rotation.
yeah what kind of a solution do you have for people with 4000 to 6000 records? these are dope looking for a small collection or some people just getting into buying records because they are trendy. i am looking at getting rid of my "current solution" (expedits & milk crates) and building a wall unit for records to store everything...
Yes.
Crappy thing with Expedit shelving is you can't flip through records. I'd love a unit similar to this.
