Don't know if anyone's posted this one I just came across, but looks like a simple diy plan. I think I'd change a few things, but nice clear plan.

oooh, this is cool!!! i would love to have a shelf like that where i can put my 7”s and CDs alongside my 12”s. it’s so awkward having to put those away in a separate location, i still consider my CDs a big part of my collection
 
One thing I need to go back to add on my record shelf is a back stop.
I think I will run a 1x2 across the back mid way up to keep all of the records from going to far in.
Simple but a necessary feature I didn't think about when building the shelf.

I'm considering making my own based on the ones that guy sells...I don't remember what they're called. But I'm getting tired of looking for a record only to find it banished to the depths of my shelves

I like the turntable revival ones (assuming that’s what you’re thinking of). But yea—should be extremely easy to make yourself if you have the tools

Mounting tape just suited me better just because it’s instant so I didn’t need to invest in clamps to keep them still while it dried. The glue probably works out cheaper I had both said clamps and any form of patience whatsoever.

yea--i have tons of clamps so just went that route. those stupid adhesive squares that came with em fell off a few months after applying them.

Do the adhesives cause any damage to the Kallax shelves? I know they're cheap, but I don't really want to peel the laminate if I can avoid it.

you can use whatever adhesives you want. these are just squares that have adhesives on both sides. i think i used a little plastic scraper thing to get it off and it seemed okay. but you can get something that will be easier to remove if you want.

I’m dealing with this too, but inconsistently… some are holding fine but others have come loose 🤷🏼‍♂️. I have them on a 5x5 Kallax, a 2x4 Costco something, and some 2x2 Target cubes… I’m hesitant to use glue so may just try to find a higher quality double sided tape.
 
I've gone back and forth on whether to build a shelf or just buy another Kalax next month when I get a little time off work, but in the meantime I grabbed this on Temu for $30 shipped after one of their coupons. Doesn't look half bad and would probably be adequate for a lot of younglings getting into vinyl. Same concerns about the sides maybe causing jacket damage, but I'll probably put a boxset on each end. My biggest wish would be that both shelves on it were made of the faux-walnut, because they actually look pretty nice.
