IKEA Kallax Hack - 'ThatShelf' tips for your Vinyl Storage

There's been lots of talk about how to make the Kallax/Expedit system even better, with talk of costly wooden pieces stuck down, or even use of multi-coloured "pool noodles", but this simple and cheap solution did everything I wanted it to to make my against-a-wall vinyl storage all the more uniform.

* For those wondering, I used the 1-3/8 inch ID x 1/2 inch wall x 6 ft pipe insulation, and installed it bottom/back of each hole. I cut it purposely just above 13.5" so it'd stay in place at the back, and since all the ones I did are flush against a wall it wedges them in perfectly, allowing some spring when inserting a record, but blending into shadows when the cubby isn't full.

Outstanding tip and very clever solution! Will be doing this with my record storage first chance I get. Thanks so much for sharing.🙂

Is the Inner diameter definitely 1 and 3/8 inch . Finding it hard to find any with an Id that wide. I've found some with an outer diameter of 1 3/8 inch (35mm) bur not an id.

Hi! What about the resistance of the Ikea Kallax? You recommend it? I'm about to set up a room for my records and I would like to see what options there are? Thanks

What pipe dimension is that for? Where do you actually place the foam, as you did in the video, sort of in the middle?

I subscribed to your channel because of your Elvis review and I thought your question to Baz was the best at the premier. What are you a critic of mainly? music.movies...

You never actually showed them fitted in the unit?
