![]() Priced at only $50, the EKET 4-cube model provides over four linear feet of LP storage. The 4-cubicle version measures 27-1/2" x 27-1/2" x 13-3/4" deep exterior, each cubicle having interior dimensions of 12-7/8" tall, 12-7/8" wide, and 13" deep, perfect for LP’s. I do believe I have found my new LP racks! The EKET comes in several different sizes, from a single 13-3/4" cube to a 4-cubicle box. There was a brand new one named EKET pictured, and it looked like it might fit the bill, so today I went to Ikea to have a look. Last night I went onto the Ikea website, again looking at their storage units. There are some fine LP racks out there, but I consider the prices ridiculous. ![]() Ikea has other similar racks-the Bitrade, Valje, and Nornas, but they too fell short of my requirements. The lack of a rear panel is also at least partially responsible for another problem with the rack: it is not very structurally stiff and strong, being a little wobbly, able to move side-to-side. But I want my LP’s to be inside an enclosed structure, not an open one, if for no other reason than to keep dust away from the LP cover opening. I’m guessing owners don’t mind, as the rack will usually be placed up against a wall, that wall then acting as a rear panel. Even worse, the rack is open on the backside, having no rear panel! It is meant to be a room divider, not an LP rack or bookcase. At 15-3/4" deep, LP’s are too far from the front edge of the rack. ![]() Other than that, it didn’t fulfill my desires. I found the Kallax to have one enticing quality: very large capacity for very little money. Desiring new racks for my LP’s, and hearing that the Ikea Kallax was popular with collectors, I went to the Ikea in my new city to check it out. ![]()
