Does anyone have any examples of solutions that are covered? these all seem to be open which would not please my wife. I could put them in another room, but then it kind of defeats the purpose. I guess this is the problem with having the system in the living room. Some sort of cabinent with doors. Currently I only have about 60 albums, but I just started buying them the past few months. That being said, I would like to explore solutions with doors or drawers that keep them out of sight.
Thanks.

My wife approves of this in our living room. A cedar chest from the thrift store. Holds 3 rows of LPs perfectly. IMG_0183.JPGIMG_0184.JPG

I had never considered the cedar chest solution. I have 3 in my home, but not enough vinyl to bother with. I know a lot of antique stores near me sell chests in nice shape for under $100. In a room where wood tones work, an old Lane chest would work great. If no wood tones, a good coat of room-matched paint would work wonders.

Cedar may absorb a little moisture. That may work.

I appreciate that not everyone likes to see record spines on display.

There are quite a few solutions to your problem but a lot will depend on how much you want to spend and now many records you have+intend to buy.

The cedar chest solution posted above is indeed pretty good and one I never thought of. But that's likely due to owning over 1000 records and hence it's not a solution for me. With 60 records and no plans to buy grown your collection exponentially the cedar chest may work assuming there's a high WAF.

But for larger collections the Atocha designs are really nice. They may not match everyone decor but you could get something built locally by a carpenter that looks different but does the same job: https://www.atochadesign.com/pages/new-custom-design

I bet they'd even customise it for you looks wise. They are not cheap but they do have configurations that are smaller e.g. 4 drawers.

A local carpenter (who built my open rack) was hired by a gentleman who had a dog with a peculiar curiosity towards his records. So he built him this wall unit. (click on lower left picture with lps) http://www.woodtoronto.com/index.php?page=1

If I had the space I'd actually move towards a covered storage system as well, perhaps like the Atocha design. I don't mind records being on display but I prefer a cleaner look at this point in my life especially since my living area is also my listening area.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

My collection has now grown to over 100 titles, so it would appear you are right and a cedar hope chest would not be a solution. I have a built in bookshelf in the listening room that I will probably have a local craftsman reconfigure for me. The Atocha designs look great, but I would think I could do something locally and support a local artisan while still getting a terrific solution. I would rather not look at the spines of records although my wife has been more understanding than most, I suspect.
