This Made in the USA storage unit has a maximum storage capacity of just over 550 records–along with two removable center dividers–which makes it perfect for collectors like us. The top-level includes separate front/back display bins that facilitate the closest thing to an at-home crate digging experience as you’ll find–along with giving you additional storage on the bottom. Those construction specifications alone set this above the cheaper options, but it’s really the split-level top and separate bottom storage area that really sets it apart. This vinyl record storage cabinet is made out of a combination of 18 gauge stainless steel shelves and durable, black, industrial, long-grain particle board sides. LPBIN2 Double Decker Vinyl Record Storage Cabinet While still being made from engineered wood with wood veneers like their affordable counterparts, Hammacher Schlemmer Aficionado’s 800 LP Organizer is one step up from the IKEA options because it accommodates an impressive 800 records–divided equally among the eight compartments–while still giving you the ability to use the top as speaker storage, a turntable display, tchotcke setup, amp storage or any number of other display options. Hammacher Schlemmer Aficionado’s 800 LP Organizer Sure, it’s only a few steps up from the milk crate in terms of quality, but if you have a massive collection you want to easily display and access, there’s no better or more affordable option. It’s available in a number of different cube options and colors, readily available, easy to assemble and cheaper than any three of our Essential Vinyl Albums put together. Formerly the Expedit–and in no way purposefully designed to wear the crown it has grown in to (as far as we know)–everyone’s favorite cheap furniture manufacturer ended up producing what is quite possibly the best record storage option on the market with the Kallax. If you asked those same five friends what they were using to store their wax, we’re willing to bet more than half would answer with the IKEA Kallax. If you asked five friends you knew who collected vinyl what their favorite records were, you would absolutely get five different answers. If you’re just starting your collection, you won’t find better. While Crosley’s record players aren’t something we’d generally recommend, the Crosley Record Storage Wooden Crate is an absolute A+ option because of it’s simple wooden construction, build quality, affordability, and the fact it can hold up to 75 albums. On the other hand, they don’t hold as much vinyl as we like, they’re not easy to find, and the choice metal options can actually mess up your records because of their construction. On one hand, the idea of storing all your records in the old school, classic and bulletproof milk crate–despite the fact that milk crate companies consider it something felonious–is something that has always appealed to us. These are our favorite vinyl storage and vinyl display options that run the gamut based on price, construction, and storage capacity. Unless you only plan on having like a dozen records in your collection, you also have to think about the best ways to store and display your collection, which is why we’re here. Then you have to think about turntable mats and slipmats for said turntable, along with ways to care for your records. You have to think about the best turntables to play your collection on. You might think that deciding you want to start collecting records and picking up some of the essential vinyl albums is all you have to think about, but that’s just the beginning.
