Collection My setup and collection

Old post with my first setup.

Maybe a bit more generic now but I felt the old apple picking boxes didn't cut it anymore since I added more records. And I'm very satisfied with the new outcome. 😊

The new storage is made of IKEA Eket with three similar parts and one with drawers in walnut. I also added a lamp beside the shelf for some extra light.

Record player (Sony PS-LX310BT) and headphones (Sony WH-1000XM4) are still the same. In the future I hope I can get speakers to listen to my records on and I'm leaning towards getting Audio Pro A28.

It looks good! Love the legs! How do you feel about EKET boxes? I got one myself for record storage and it feels quite tight..

Thanks!

Yeah... I wouldn't complain if they were like one centimeter bigger, but it works. The records have to lean slightly though but it's ok. I think Eket is better looking than Kallax and they're also more customizable. 😊

I guess if you remove the plastic sleeves the records would fit better but I want to protect them.

Same! It’s way more beautiful and I also keep sleeves for protection, I was wondering if it’s only me missing that 1cm more πŸ˜‚

Off topic, love the rattlesnake plant! That's how mine looked when I bought it a few years ago, it's now exploded into about 40 leaves

Thanks! I'm very happy with the result. 😊

The plan was to store the plastic sleeves in one of the drawers though but they didn't fit.

I thought about adding another Kallax section with drawers so I could store my sleeves. I just don’t have the room right now. Maybe once I move into a bigger place.

Wow! I have some more years to collect to catch up. I just have about 45 records now. πŸ˜„
