    How's the sturdiness of the Kallax shelving?

    I just got mine a month or so ago and I've had no problems. Very sturdy and holds 12" perfectly.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    You can always pick one on the ebay for $300+

    I folded, a dissident is here. Bought the 7" because I wanted it. :)

    So you just got it recently, and it holds 12" perfectly... :giggle: The crate. The crate.

    It's really sturdy. My 4x4 cube shelf is pretty heavy. I didn't do the wallmount either (the safety thing you're supposed to do Ikea stuff so it doesn't fallforward if improperly load/balanced). I put a little carboard under the front section, which gave it a small lean against the wall. It's rock solid like that :)

    I wonder if the smaller ones actually look like the ones pictured or are like the last ones where they were both the same design

    He changed the picture. It looks like the larger one (the original one from before)

    I have the 2x4 Kallax unit, and built it horizontally so it's 2 cubes high by 4 long. (No need to bolt it to the wall sitting like that.) I also put in the door inserts on the bottom ends, and the drawer inserts on the bottom inside cubes. I left the top cubes open, and that's where all of my records are, with my turntable and speakers on top. I don't have a HUGE vinyl collection, so I've only filled in two cubes so far...leaves some room to keep growing! :)

    I hope they keep these in stock for a while...need to recover from TOTD shows and merch.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Built mine horizontally as well. Had it for.. 2+ years now and it's held up just fine. I put the casters on mine so it's easy to move (I'm a one man show) and it makes cleaning behind the unit a cinch. I got a couple of those collapsable fabric bins to fit in 2 of the cubes to hold my accessories & other stuff.
