Ikea eket vinyl records.

Too good to be true. Pretty nice alternative to the popular ikea kallax for storage. Vinyl doors for shelves. But the vinyl factory reports that a more colourful variant called eket is upon us.

This was replaced by kallax and then supplemented by the more upmarket nornäs. Display or hide your things or both. Drop your ideas and suggestions in the comments below. Ikea has a new storage solution called the eket.

In any case records still fit the kallax perfectly. Ikea was careful to maintain the dimensions of kallax s cubby holes though they shrank the outer dimensions. 3 get modular with eket cabinets. The cubicles fit a standard vinyl record with a standard jacket perfectly.

As for an alternative for the now discontinued ikea vinyl record frame americanflat sell 2 packs of a very similar black frame for vinyl. I am looking to get a 2x2 unit and plan to put my record player on top of it my one concern with the eket is the boxes seems to be a tad smaller than the kallax so i worry that maybe larger record sleeves or box sets may not fit. It gets a bit sketchy when you have a super thick gatefold though. I collect vinyl records and i use the ikea kallax as a vinyl record storage cabinet.

The shelves don t have doors though and if you like things to look more streamlined you ll love this hack. I like the way record stores display their records on top covers facing forward so you can quickly flip through the records and find what you are looking for. Here are a few warnings the eket cube is slightly more snug than the kallax or expedit which may be a little problematic for bulkier gatefolds and box sets. Go small go big high low or crazy eket adapts to your style and needs.

And hallelujah at 35x35x35 cm roughly 13 7 inches each way the dimensions of the standard eket are pretty close to perfect for storing records. They are inexpensive look and work great but they have a limitation. Eket is a versatile series of modular storage cabinets in different colors that can be stacked hung and combined endlessly. But still doable and the backing in the eket is nice to keep dust away.
