I have that album, inherited from my parents. Unfortunately I used it as a frisbee disc when I was 4 so it's totally unplayable. I can put the cover there though.

Well, I think I'm gonna do a couple if 4x2s and rearrange my furniture to get them to fit. That should hold me over for a few years.

Re-reading this thread, I came across this post. I did indeed get 2 4x2 Kallax. And now 2 years later, I have filled them. I may have a problem.

IKEA is correct, the shelf is called Kallax.
Here's a link to the Swedish site, hopefully they are available close to you as well:

I would just like to give a small warning here: Those shelves are actually designed to stand up on end, not on their side like that. When they are on their side like that the shelves are MUCH weaker, and susceptible to collapse. The long shelves should be supporting the records, not the short pieces in between the long ones. I have seen photos where these shelves have collapsed because of this, and it's not pretty (the danger is greater if you use the larger version the wrong way, but I think there is still some small risk with this smaller one... might be worth taking that risk, but just thought you should know ).

Damn!!!!!

I've only seen it happen to the 5x5 and 4x4s. Never seen it happen to the 2x4s.

Also, anchoring it (especially finding the stud in the wall) minimizes any collapse.

I have 3 IKEA knockoffs from Amazon that are working pretty well. Probably gonna order a 4th after we get some remodeling done.

Is your shelf set up sideways?
