The Kallax rules.We all know that IKEA deliver excellent furniture that is well built, robust and a perfect platform to transform them into something special. This cannot be stated enough: the Kallax is the only shelf that’s as cheap as it is-it’s available to rich people and to broke ass college kids alike-and as good as it is. It makes your records look Instagram worthy with literally no work on your end, except for building it.

We’d all be lying to ourselves if we pretended at least a big part of why the Kallax is the most prevalent vinyl record storage option in the free world is the aesthetics of the shelf itself. The assumed recommended space is about 50-60 records a cube, but the net is flush with stories of people fitting up to 80 or 90 records in a cube, depending on jacket and record size. This is where the Kallax wins over every trendy, or expensive, option you can find out there: it flat out can hold more records. It holds more records more efficiently than any other option That’s an undersold part of the Kallax that gets lost when new storage options start trying to sell you on why you need that instead of the Kallax: they won’t tip over-unless you try to tip them over-and they hold up. The Kallax is a solidly constructed bookcase in a way no modular bookcase out of a box really is. My trusty 4X2 has made it through 4 moves, and still holds 250 records on its bows. Despite some reports by people who have dramatically overfilled their Kallaxes, once you build your Kallax and tighten those last bolts with an Allen wrench against those tiny wooden rods, those things will stay strong.
The problem with every other commercially available bookcase option I’ve seen, is that they are all flimsy. The Target knock-offs of the Kallax are maybe comparable, but they’re made out of recycled cardboard boxes. Compared to every other option, there isn’t a single vertical storage method that even comes close. At $199, that’s only 16 cents a record it can hold. Expand that out to the 5X5 Kallax-the biggest one available-and you can hold 1250 records.
That 2X2 model runs for $50, or 25 cents per record it holds. You can fit around 50-60 records in each cube in a Kallax, which means a 2X2 model can hold 200 records. Seriously, this can’t be underscored enough. The Kallax is the best shelf for storing vinyl records, and not just because its dimensions are big enough for vinyl record storage.

Standing or lying, against the wall or to divide the room KALLAX series is eager to please and will adapt. I know some of you are probably saying “but wait, the insanely expensive wooden cube structure that I purchased is the best” or “my carpenter brother-in-law built me custom shelves in my listening den” or “I don’t like Ikea,” but I think you all know, deep down in the darkest recesses of your heart, that you’re profoundly wrong.
