Alternatives to the expedit?

Jonny_Paycheck · August 2005

I am lazy. Ikea doesn't have the model I want on their website. What are some other shelving alternatives. Home Depot has something similar but not on the website and out of stock in Brooklyn.I typed in IVAR to the Ikea search engine and got planks of wood.HELP

I got a six foot regular bookshelf from home depot and then fit it with clamps to bolster record weight. It cost around 86 including the clamps and screws.

i got one that is 30"x30" at target for $29. it's sorta flimsy, but doesn't look too bad considering the way i was stacking my shit before. i don't remember if they have target in ny though.

ive seen those (like 3 x 3 cubbies) but they dont seem like they would fit records?

I searched these threads already. I am not into "DIY". I want to spend under $200.

MAgicJackson we have target in Brooklyn. It is the most poorly stocked Target I've ever been to. Shit is depressing

This is a cube-like thing?

I'm thinking about copping one of these, dude said in the other thread that they'd hold 7/8 crates worth, perfect for my lil dude needs. and only $71.

i looked for it online but there's nothing there. where an expedit has 16 14" cubes, this thing was 4x14". smaller, but not meant for thousands of records. a few hundred probably.

those end wires would make me nervous - wouldn't they warp leaning records?

My thoughts exactly missbassie

I don't know what's up with Ikea these days. I got their latest catalog and there were no Expedits in it at all. I went down to the local store in E-Ville a little later and there one was.

you want the IVAR johhny. those planks are just the shelves, if you get the 6 foot one you need 6 shelves, the one below that=5.200 RECORDS PER SHELF.
these pics are old, i need to photograph my current setup to show you the realness:
