thebes Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 These are the larger size plastic milk crates they sell. Except they have stopped selling them, and there are no more in my area. The larger size is perfect for albums, and they are stackable. I like to flip through records and not get a crick in my neck turning sideways to read the side labels. I've got a dozen or so, even bought some more early last year, but did not know they were going to be discontinued. If you've got some let me know. After a year of pulling records and not re-filing them, I've got a mess on my hands. So if you aren't using yours, give me a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I agree. I've never stolen a milk crate in my life. However, we are talking not about generic milk crates, but a specific iteration of a milk crate, The Container Store Supreme Crate. It's basically 14" square, including height, which is the most important factor, cause it's taller than an album, so they can be safely stacked. Which helps cause I got a couple of thousand lps and am running out of room to store them where they are readily accessible to my turntable. Now if you have those puppies we need to talk.

Schu Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Is there a solution here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 A little too pricey. These special milk crates cost $13 versus at least twice that for Ikea stuff. The records are in a back room off of my main plaything area, so aesthetics are not important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I saw bunches of milk crates on eBay... but shipping is a killer. Try craigslist or backpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah, plenty of the milk crates that won't hod albums, but there is only one guy on ebay with the Supreme Crates and he wants $50. I could build my own much cheaper than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
