A good record collection deserves a good home.  It should have easy access, look good in your home, and store the records carefully.

I’ve gone with a bunch of plastic crates on a table before - I’ve found some plastic ones that are wider than milk crates - that work really well.  But once my collection at home grew, I was just running out of space.  After seeing Cousin Justin go to a book shelf system, I was convinced.

For $179.00, check out Ikea’s Expedit book case.  It’s what I use at home and I have been really pleased.  It looks nice, it’s super sturdy, and it holds about 1500 records.  The other cool feature is that it has 25 boxes instead of just long rows.  I use this as natural dividers for genres - which provides better organization.  The boxes are 13″ every way, so it makes for the perfect size for holding records.  The overall dimensions are 72 7/8″ X 72 7/8″.
