Seems straightforward to put together.

Tidy.

If you are anything like me, you will need to make up a few more to store all your records in........alternatively

...ta-da! The 42 Litre Dragon box! Perfect for records, and you can pick 'em up to move 'em around.

Ikea Lack tables can be made into good racks apparently. Saw off the legs to the correct height and stack.

Other versions are available if you google.

Having looked into this sort of thing myself though, you do need to bear in mind the finished product will still look like the cheap stuff from Ikea, especially the Lack tables

I use a galvanised steel industrial shelving rack. H=1,86m L=2m, D=0,4m; capacity 300kg per shelf.

I keep LPs in LP storage boxes on the lower 2 shelves, some LPs on the middle shelf alongside turntable & ancillaries, and the top 2 shelves contain CD machines, tuners, amplifiers etc. There isn't enough room for everything!

It all depends on what you are looking for in the first place I suppose. If you want a 5 shelf decent hifi rack, you will be looking at £200+ which is considerably more than the Lack will cost
