Nice work @Russ I looks like a nice piece you are adding.
I just ordered some red oak boards to build an 8' long cabinet to go under my windows.
Cabinet will have two 13" shelves and be around 30" in height total.
I hung some faux beams last year with the red oak so I decided to keep the same theme going.

Cool idea! Are you riffing off of @Yer Ol' Uncle D plan?

Yeah that post made too much sense to me. I didn't save any money and spent even more than a kallax. However, I already have the tools to build it and the quality will be significantly better wood so I'm all in now.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of it. I've been planning to build my next one too, but haven't had the time yet. Hopefully seeing yours will inspire me to actually do it.

I’ve got the pieces cut out for a cabinet and just haven’t had time to stain and assemble it

Is there anything as common as the Kallax/ Expedit but for gear ?
I have my turntable and the rest of my system inside of a big cupboard / closet whatever its called. But its such a mess since its not really accessible from the back and the cables are a mess. Im looking for something thats not as huge and easy to access.

what kind of space does it need to fit in? And how many shelves do you need?
System racks can get kinda expensive…

If by common you mean cheap, then not really sadly. IKEA did have a pretty nice looking combo turntable stand and record storage I got last year but looks to be discontinued.
Line phono also has a stand that fits some gear and records:

But it doesn’t work well if you have a lot of separates…would kinda help to know what exactly you’re looking for like @Joe Mac said. Size/what you need to fit in it

Turntable on top, cd player, amp, Dac and phone probably fit next to eachother. So thats three i guess.
Space is not really an issue , id rather have something thats not that wide. Bonus points if humans under 1,20m cant touch the platter.

Those line phono are the cheapest you’ll get.
Is the DAC full size or half size like the phono?
If you get one it’ll probably fit the phono on the shelf under the tt. Maybe one other half sized component too. You could probably then have the amp on top of the cd player on the next shelf down.
I have these and really like them but that big more pricy

Half size , probably less.

Not really. More as in easy to find. Im probably looking at second hand stuff too. Im not in a rush with this either.
Yeah then it and the phono will easily sit side by side on the little shelf under the TT on normal sized line phono. Could use the top big shelf for the cd player and amp and you’d still have bottom one for vinyl if it suits.

Forgive the mess, but this is what the line phono looks like in action. I got the normal height one since the larger height wasn’t an option when I bought it.
I like it but doesn’t quite fit as much gear as I’d ideally have on there. The larger one probably would have fit a CD player too since the NAD isn’t too tall. My DAC wouldn’t fit on it so that’s on my desk next to it. And I’ve had to stack my turntable on my phono stage. But it does have a little hook on the side for holding headphones which is useful. And it’s well made and has leveling feet on it.
Overall I’d say it’s good for a compact setup but maybe not ideal as something mostly for gear. Definitely fits the criteria of a kid not being able to touch the platter though!

I have this, but if your floors are bouncy… and the bottom shelf has the dividers and I’m not real sure how stable it would be if you left them out:

I have this, modular so you decide the space between each shelves. I have the 3 shelves one, but you can add an extra shelf with an extension. I added a drawer, so I store records stuff in there (cleaning supply, inner/outer sleeves…).

Before we moved, i had my system on two Bestås.
I had this one stacked on top of...

Then i didn't put the back panel on the top one so there was full access to the back. The Turntable was on top of the Bestå with the amp on one side and the CD player on the other with a shelf over it for the preamp, inside the Bestå of course. Then the bigger, bottom Bestå was used for box-sets and books.
