Having a dedicated record storage unit in your listening area is a good sign that you care about your records. A well chosen shelving or cabinet will blend perfectly with your environment and make your collection look great and easily available for playing. Luckily, you'll find a multitude of great storage solutions available on the market at all price points. So if you are committed to spend a good amount of money on your favorite vinyl, it's a logical step to spend a little more to ensure they are stored properly. However, good record storage units can be quite expensive, but they have many advantages over regular shelves which might not be solid enough or have the right dimensions. A 12" row of vertically stacked vinyl can weight at least 30 lbs, so you have to make sure your shelves will manage to stand them. It's recommended to have a solid wall divider between about every 50 records and to leave some room for easy browsing. Also, you should avoid keeping records in very leaned rows, as even a 40 degree lean can create too much pressure and result in warped records over time. But remember, the No.1 rule of record storage is to always stack them vertically. Stacking horizontally will cause warping and ring marks.
A good alternative to shopped storage solutions is the DIY method which can be cost effective, but also time consuming. This approach has a lot of advantages as it's custom made to fit your collection size and room. You'll find numerous good plans and designs with a little research. Another inexpensive option, particularly if you're looking for smaller storage units, is to search Etsy for "record storage". Here's a link to do that.
Below we put together a list of 27 practical, dedicated solutions for storing your highly prized vinyl collection, covering a large range of price and style, for both US and European markets.
