Was a thank you gift from a friend. It’s a prized piece now, along with my cigars and Colgate comedy hour tapesHoly fuck the Paul Bufano/Roy Donk poster is

do you have something behind the shelves to keep the records flush? I’ve been meaning to do that to mine but since I’m moving in less than a year I’ll just do it before I get them situated after moving.

i really like the turntable revival backspacers.
Premium Backspacer (for IKEA Kallax/Expedit)
Ikea's Kallax line is great for storing and showcasing your collection. They're accessible, affordable, and expandable. But, they are too deep, leaving your records pushed too far back, or worse, uneven in your cubes. Keep your records up front and perfectly inline with Backspacers. Premium...

i know you can make your own for cheaper either with wood or the ol pool noodle trick but these are nice looking and work really well. i ended up gluing mine on with gorilla glue and clamping them overnight but they also come with double sided adhesive squares.
i prefer the skinny ones as the records don't go past the edge of the shelving with those (they are inset a little bit). i think with the full-size ones the records either go right to the edge or a little past it? they also make them for walmart or target brand shelves too which are slightly different size.

Awesome! Good to know as I also wouldn’t want them to overhang a bit. I have a few weird shape gatefolds that probably would stick out.i really like the turntable revival backspacers.

i annoyingly ordered the regular size last time and installed one and realized it was different to all my other shelves. i emailed CS and they let me swap them out, I think i just had to pay return shipping because it was my fault completely.
They do seem to sell out every once in awhile then takes awhile to restock but i think its a great product. if you have access to a saw and some wood though could easily do it yourself. i'm just lazy...

I don’t (will look into the above spacers). I have a bit of a compulsion with fixing them so need to do something

Gorilla glue is the way to go. I've been going through the cubes while rearranging some things and pulling them all up and gluing down.i really like the turntable revival backspacers.

I have thin Backspacers as well and used some short finishing nails to secure them in place.

I need to cut all that trim I bought to make backspaces and install them. That was prepandemic.

You have a few years of that wood sitting around before it ages properly.

this is exactly why i just ended up buying them haha. took me 10 minutes to glue them all down vs 3 years if i bought the wood myself to cut down to proper size...

At this point you may want to resell the wood and retire.

I got my dad a Kallax shelf for Christmas, so I was able to move his records out of my shelf & rearrange my records!

Lookin' good! Always nice to have a bit of room for growth within the shelves.

Definitely nicer than records on the floor beside and behind a stack of crates full of records and a bunch of other records in boxes and crates stashed under the currently unused bottom bunk in the older kid's room!

Hahaha! Yeah, that doesn't feel especially good....except for all those records.Definitely nicer than records on the floor beside and behind a stack of crates full of records and a bunch of other records in boxes and crates stashed under the currently unused bottom bunk in the older kid's room!
Have you seen this? It's a complete fucking takeover and the records won.

Ditto. I showed this to my wife and within the first two seconds she said "don't even think about it" and then she walked away.

Hahaha! The fear of this is real!
I keep having purges but then leaving the purged records in boxes in my spare room that I do nothing with…
I really need to take them down to the store this year!
