You wouldn't by any chance have one of those links? I've been looking for a nice way to store vinyl and this would be beautiful in my room

I use milk crates
I wouldn't like shelves like that cause I can't flick through them quick (how do you see the middle of the record?)

same way as you would with milk crates - just pull the vinyl out..
milk crates dont really cut it anymore for me - theres just too much vinyl, loosing floor space rapidly lol

At the moment my CD's, DVD's and vinyls are on Lundia bookcases.
Which look something like that, only with more shelves:

Does look good but you might want to invest in some sort of rubber shoes or pads for the legs, vinyl is heavy and will make a big dent in a wooden floor like that photo in just a few days.

well, its arrived, and its mostly good, in fact im quite happy with it...
however
heres the sneaky part which they dont touch on....
let me edit the picture to draw your eyes to a certain part of this stand which is a design floor..

only the edge of the vinyl is really touching the metal here, and there is no support until the facing leg...so once weight is on that vinyl from other vinyls leaning on it - it could cause it to bed, and as the back support isnt there like it is on the other shelves, when you pull out a piece of vinyl it could cause the others to fall through that 11.2inch gap
so i have had to rig up an "X" type support to go either end as "book ends" if you will so that that sort of thing doesnt happen (will post a picture soon)
still, can hardly complain seeing was it was £24 :)
i also bought 100 black sleeves for all these stupid flappy white cases that need replacing and cases that are falling to pieces..
also cost me around about £24..worth it to get those shabby cases dumped

^^^ Buy a thin sheet of plywood and put in the ends for support.
