Spotted a great ikea vinyl record storage option that i haven t mentioned.
Ikea eket vinyl records.
The cubicles fit a standard vinyl record with a standard jacket perfectly.
They are inexpensive look and work great but they have a limitation.
Too good to be true.
The shelves don t have doors though and if you like things to look more streamlined you ll love this hack.
Go small go big high low or crazy eket adapts to your style and needs.
But still doable and the backing in the eket is nice to keep dust away.
As for an alternative for the now discontinued ikea vinyl record frame americanflat sell 2 packs of a very similar black frame for vinyl.
Vinyl doors for shelves.
I like the way record stores display their records on top covers facing forward so you can quickly flip through the records and find what you are looking for.
Display or hide your things or both.
In any case records still fit the kallax perfectly.
But the vinyl factory reports that a more colourful variant called eket is upon us.
Ikea has a new storage solution called the eket.
Expedit was a dj s favourite both as storage and as a dj table.
Pretty nice alternative to the popular ikea kallax for storage.
I am looking to get a 2x2 unit and plan to put my record player on top of it my one concern with the eket is the boxes seems to be a tad smaller than the kallax so i worry that maybe larger record sleeves or box sets may not fit.
Ikea was careful to maintain the dimensions of kallax s cubby holes though they shrank the outer dimensions.
Wondering if anyone has experience with both the kallax and eket ikea shelves and can help me decide which to get.
Ikea s assorted ranges of shelves suitable for vinyl storage is well known and seemingly ever changing.
And hallelujah at 35x35x35 cm roughly 13 7 inches each way the dimensions of the standard eket are pretty close to perfect for storing records.
I collect vinyl records and i use the ikea kallax as a vinyl record storage cabinet.
This was replaced by kallax and then supplemented by the more upmarket nornäs.
It gets a bit sketchy when you have a super thick gatefold though.
3 get modular with eket cabinets.
