Looks great! But yeah, also looks like you're reaching your limit.
I've yet to find a definitive solution to that problem, since it seems the newer the shelf space, the faster it fills!

Yeah, I've got space reserved for the items I anticipate receiving in the next few weeks. But its tight and I anticipate there being some issue when I ask to buy more shelving.Looks great! But yeah, also looks like you're reaching your limit.

I hear that.
I've been moving stuff around to create room on shelves that are already in place, but the records waiting to be shelved are laughing at my efforts LOL (I'm laughing too.)

So... important lesson, the better homes and garden “cubes” are not cubes. I have a bunch of useless doors currently. However, after careful deliberation with my wife. I will be amping up my current storage abilities and this is the last time you guys will see my set up configured as such:
more to come.

I could have sworn that I had posted in this thread before. Don’t have a dedicated room, so the main listening area is in our living room. The first 2 Kallax house records A-K with the last 2 cubes filled with box sets.
The last 2 Kallax units are in the dinning room. Containing K-Z, a few 10 inch records, soundtracks and seasonal tunes.
The CD collection is currently in the garage and I’d love to be able to bring it back in the house. One my goals this year is to starting culling the vinyl and probably downsizing my cassette collection.

Thanks! It’s a Pioneer CT-F9191. Product of me going for a vintage Pioneer set up.

There is a bit more work to do. Some finishing touches on cable management. I have to get some screws to feel comfortable tilting the speakers. Then patch the hole from where the guitar use to hang, get a bin to hide the modem and alarm system, and hang art, but this is the gist (with doors on the bottom row that I still have to install.)
Looking fantastic Lee! Also makes me feel a little better about the size of my own
Did you find a new home in the listening room for all of the prints that you used to have above the old set up?

We’ve got an empty wall in the record room where we will put a similar grouping with the Beatles piece. I also have some that we’ve never put up.Looking fantastic Lee! Also makes me feel a little better about the size of my own

side note, so the console has those metal legs and the old spots in the floor that created noise and skips are showing back up. I ordered some iso pucks, which I was excited about just to prevent those issues... however, mounting the speakers to the wall had a side effect of isolating them and even my wife remarked at how much better they sound, and this is with a seriously compromised placement. That’s got me really excited to see what these fancy feet pads do.

I’ve also got one inch stops I’ll be putting in the back of the shelves (except for the bottom row which will have doors)

Spent some time today getting a few posters on the walls in the new house office/record and entertainment room. It's coming together nicely. Looking forward to getting some new storage cabinets built to have a little more room for records and something that will hopefully be sturdy and functional with a look more fit to the room. Happy to be where it is now though.

You could always do a couple Kalax 5X5 like @Lee Newman on the same wall and probably be set for life or one of those and stack your two 2x4 ? But hardwood is certainly more solid. Just beware that wood prices have gone through the roof recently.
