They don't simply fail and they are very, very solid indeed and can take an enormous amount of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx7rotary Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Well it did fall apart If the Expedit fell apart, particularly with no records in it then it was never put together properly.

They can handle a hell of a lot of weight. My wife approved until we moved house which has now occurred. Only issue i had was sometimes when not being careful, or after a couple of rums, when removing a record it would slide against the metal edge of the upper shelf or lower shelf which wasn't ideal.

proftournesol Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Our new house created the opportunity for some built-in record storage. I can't die before I fill it! The CDs live in a large plastic crate behind the couch! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The shelving shop has a very, very sturdy modular system called Boon. I've kept adding units until the ceiling gets in the way. Highly recommended. They also come in laminated oak. https://shelvingshop.com.au/product-category/cube-shelving/white-square-cube-shelves/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I built my own shelving from heavy duty MDF and fixed it all to a brick wall. Split into rock/pop, classical and electronic/dance, then alphabetical. The apparent curvature is the mobile phone lens, not the shelves I can assure you!
