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.

I really think this will work it has two adjustable shelves theirs a couple of things I need to know before I can say for sure. Is the records the only thing going in this and what is the dimensions of the records.

I just tried it for you. About 1 inch of the CD will be out on the horizontal pockets, if you don't mind that, I think you can store the CDs there, but the CDs won't fit on the vertical pockets. This hanging photo display is designed for 4x6 photos and the 2 columns of pockets in the middle are horizontal and the 2 columns in the sides are vertical). I hope this was helpful :-)

Yes, you can. We bought two of these,one for a riser for a tv and one to use as a shelf on a desk top and we didn't use the dividers on either one. By the way, these are really well made and worth the money.

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.

A 45 can be stacked up high or side by side.The Media holder is square shaped and IDon't think it would work good for LPs.

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

I can't measure the edge now since the stand is over at a band mate's house where we rehearse. I will tell you that we play from a rather thick ring binder and I haven't had trouble with it. I tilt the music holder back a bit and the music sits in place just fine.

I would think that it may tip over if put in vertically. It could hold it horizontally but the ends would hang over either side.

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.

Hi Sonny, I have two of those shelving which flank a 50" HDTV, and one the left unit, a Yamaha RX-A 1030 receiver, and on the top shelf, a fairly heavy Techniques turntable. The 2nd shelf, a stacked broadcast quality 3 head cassette record/playback 17 " unit on the bottom and a Denon dual tray CD recorder/dubbing tray unit. Bottom shelf, a pro vhs record/playback unit. On the 2nd unit on the right of the TV-top shelf, a Onkyo 6 tray CD carousel playback deck. The 2nd shelf, a Teac CD rec/pb which records from adjustable record digital sample rates to a recordable USB flash drive. The 3rd shelf is a DVD / VHS rec/pb unit. The bottom shelf just has decorative accessories on it. This should hold the weight and is very attractive. Hope this helps. Any questions, feel free to write. Be we'll. Dana Kott dkott@dc.rr.com

Not sure this would work. The top of the unit measures 15 inches front to back. Seems like an 18" turntable would over lap. The whole unit is really of nice quality and was fairly easy to assemble. This unit ,for your purposes, probably would not be the best choice.

I have two of these, and they are on a carpeted (wall to wall) floor. No divider will stand on any floor if you open it too widely, but with that caveat, I have had no problem with these rather nice looking dividers. Once set up they have never fallen on me. I just make sure they are properly arranged and placed to avoid the obvious pitfall of my own making. The display pic gives a good idea, and mine are more widely placed than that. Good luck, they are really nice, and a bargain, if you ask me.

The middle top will hold a dvr machine and that's about it. This piece of furniture is really well made. It is worth the money for sure.

It depends on if you are storing 10" or 12" in paper or cardboard sleeves or no sleeves. (Not recommending the 3rd option.) You could store records in many different directions to come up with a different total but if you plan to store 12" records vertically and stack up several of these crates you would end up with damaged records due to the height being only 10.5". Assuming this you could presume giving 1/4" of room for each you could stack the width and be able to put in easily 50+. (Dimensions are typically measured by the O.D. and not the I.D. so some loss occurs from the lip and thickness of the plastic. Check your own math.

The edges are curved, which would work against it standing up easier in a vertical configuration. The base is also made of "impact-resistant tempered glass" and I'd personally not want to "test" it too much. In theory, if it were carefully leaned against the wall of a cabinet under a sink, maybe tilted back a bit, or held in place by something... generally speaking, vertical storage probably wasn't considered in the design.EDIT: I will concur with Jennifer though, it is thin. I just set in on top of something else when I store it.

No, I don't think it would. It has a lip around the edge to stop items from falling off. I originally purchased 16" turntables from Lee Valley but returned them because, not only did they not spin as smoothly, but things fell off as I spun the turntable because there was no rim on the edge. Perhaps this may be your best bet as it is recommended for TVs, etc
