I want to get one of these to hold some vinyl. I intend to put it on top of a speaker, vertically. Will the middle divider hold my records safely?

Yes, you can use this item this way. I too used one of these units in this manner for quite awhile, and as mentioned I used wood glue as well. These are fairly strong for the material that thy are made of. I think it will not hold as many LPs this way as it would horizontally. I collect mostly Japanese pressings with their OBI's intact. These are the albums I had in this module when I used it vertically. I also had it full, but not packed for about 6 months, but I had mine beside my salamander stand , not on top of a speaker. Not sure if the vibrations might cause failure, but it will work vertically. Yes, you can use this item this way.

Yes, I believe it will...I think it may be unstable because of the center of gravity, but you will find out whether it falls or not!

Hi David, great question (and same thing I was wondering before I bought this). I've had my storage cabinet for several months now, standing vertically, with the top half completely loaded and the bottom less than half full and it's been rock-solid. I vouch for this thing and think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps!

That's a good question. I have it on the floor as it's shown in the picture so the middle divider is just a divider. I'd suggest getting single cubes and stacking them vertically instead.

I'm using mine vertically for vinyl and not concerned about the weight. I should add that I used wood glue when I assembled the unit(s).
76602
I don't think so. In that configuration, only few dowels would hold the shelve into the cheap particle board

A more urgent question is: will this unit safely stay on top of your speaker. That would depend on how wide your speaker is. Im assuming it is a floor speaker at least and not a bookshelf speaker. If it can stay on top of it then I wouldn't worry too much about your records as they should be able to stay in place. But I don't know for sure as I don't currently have this type of setup.

I really don't know. I have my records in the shelf horizontally and the shelf accommodates the records nicely and safely. You could try it but keep an eye on it to see if it will hold your records safely.

Absolutely. I have them stacked four high with vinyl albums, and they are quite sturdy.

Its designed to hold 12" vinyl only; there are no racks or moveable dividers to hold smaller 45's. Also if you have gatefold albums or are using thick plastic protecters you actually won't fit 200 LP's in this case. None the less I love mine and purchased a second, will probably get a third soon.

Yes they can, but you would need to adjust shelfs to fit ablums in. You would lose storage space, depending on how you store your records.

I don't think it would mount that well but it could be possible. The dividers do stay in place.
1280983
Yes your records should fit just fine. There is a 1 inch lip that runs along both sides in the back so they records will not be flush to the sides of the cabinet, but the door will close with no problem.

I haven't used it for LPs. But it would be doable. However, unlike most record storage cubes, the sides aren't straight up and down (they are slanted). That might not be a problem, though. (And Rattique does make a straight-sided version: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6500-1716-JAVA-Rattique-Storage-Crate/dp/B00J0K50X8/.) I just tucked an LP into the one I own. The basket is rectangular, and it fits fine on the long side with a little room to spare. (The handles are on the shorter sides). You could get a pretty good collection of records in there. Do be aware that (like the sides) the bottom is woven, not a completely flat surface, so it might make impressions on the bottom of your LPs over time. I don't know - but it might. The basket isn't heavy so if you have a lot of LPs in it, you might want to put the basket up against a wall or piece of furniture to keep it from tipping backwards when records are against the back of it. I hope this helps!

That is an interesting thought. There is no "back" to the rack so they will fall through and the top rack will not hold your boxes. You might be better off buying an organization system that is meant to be vertical.

The shelf unit is flatpacked; each divider, the bottom and back are separate pieces which you need to screw together....so yes, you could just use the middle divider.It is a solid "chunky" unit and i am very happy with it.

The shelves could be made high enough but the depth of the shelf probably wouldn't . The records would stick out of it a lot.

It hooked to my stand no problems. Even vertically. The desk however. Depends on the width really. But this is one of the biggest clamps for a pop filter I've ever seen. It should be okay. Hope this helps!

I used it to frame an unopened record. Shrink wrap and all and didn't have any trouble with it. Double vinyl albums might be tight, but otherwise you should be fine.

I bought mine to use with old records. The regular size LP's on the bottom, then 78's for the middle and 45's for the top....

I would not use it for vinyl records. It can be used for CDs, and DVDs storage.

There's a small lid on top for headphones (to prevent the wire to messup). The disc tray is at the front. And I think is intended to stand up vertically.
1956731
yes, the dividers are very flexible, I would suggest that the organizer be supported within the cupboard not free standing.

the sides are probably strong enough because there is not much weight on them if you were to stack them. The center of the one placed on top would probably sag a little bit because the dividers in the center are just made of cloth. that's my best guess.
