My New Record Shelves

edited February 28 in Musicians and Gearheads
I finally replaced my rickety old record shelf.  It was a bit unstable and I was running out of room. I got this from Gothic Furniture in NYC. But they can also be ordered online. It is solid wood with a backing and I picked the stain. The inserts are also removable. They are modular so you can configure how you want. Mine is a 3 shelf base with 2 shelf stacked on top. The delivery guys screwed them together for me. Finally, I have plenty of room and it also matches the other furniture I have. Yay!!

    Ooh, those are neat! I like the pattern on the inserts. More character than the typical IKEA cubes.

    Thanks. The cut out in the middle of the insert makes it easier to get your hand in there. Now I just have to fill it up more.

    This is great! I'm going to have to do something new now that our little one is starting to walk/waddle and grabs everything in sight. I need to elevate them somehow.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Check out their website. 


    They are a bit pricier, but the quality is great. It should last a long time.

    Get some weight on the bottom shelves! It's giving me unit tipping/record smashing anxiety 😁

    I filled the bottom up with books. Also, it is two separate pieces connected together, and the bottom base piece is weighted. I specifically asked about that. So, hopefully it is good.

    😅 It looks great! I'm going to need a new solution soon, but I've had to curb record buying a little as they're in my living room and my wife would definitely have something to say about it!
