Roscoe, did you make those records shelves? Are they new?
I didn't make them, they're Expedit fro Ikea, unfortunately discontinued. They've been replace by the Kallax line, which is slightly different, but ought to be quite good. For the 4x4 (or larger) I recommend putting a piece of 1/4" plywood on the back to help with rigidity. Also, a strip of 1x2 across the back of each shelf would help to keep the records from sliding in too far (although I haven't done that yet).

I ask because I need to make some shelves (along with millions of other things) and your arrangement looks good!
Any pointers about record shelves to the Masses (from you or other readers)? Too tall, too wide, shelves too thin? Too close to the floor?
Your arrangement looks great - I love the equipment shelves, too!
Too close to the floor is a pain, but you're pretty much stuck with a row close to the floor unless you want to waste a lot of space.
The equipment rack I did make, it's a 60"x36" piece of maple workbench top from Grizzly that I cut in half to make two 60"x18" shelves. Link to the Grizzly piece earlier in the thread.
