That's their newer version, Kallax. The older version was Expdit, or something like that. If you look online, the Kallax shelf can hold up to 29 pounds, which is about 50 records, at most (based on a single sample size I weighed at the time). If you filled up the hole (about 65 albums), you would be placing more than the limit on the shelf (about 38 pounds), which worries me. I'm not sure what weight the Expedit shelf version could handle. But, since Eric's lasted 20 years, maybe I'm worrying for nothing.

If you're handy with tools you could add some bracing.

I now have over 5K CDs, so I have storage problems too.

With the right home stereo system, CDs sound great.

Something I've been picking up lately and having great fun with are vintage automobile advertising materials. Cards, postcards, blotters, etc. The graphics are great. Some (the ones from the 1970s) bring back memories.

On a similar note, I've taken to picking up old card brochures when I find them. Great graphics and a piece of history. Here's a few I picked up recently.

Not me, so much, but my wife collects mid-century barware. While we have 17 acres, we only have an 1800 sq ft house and her collection is taking up a not insubstantial portion the available flat surfaces. In fact, in recent weeks she started putting some into my home office where I store my (thankfully more compact) collection. We've talked about only displaying a few from each set and storing the rest, but that is a big effort and we really need to get a storage unit because anything stored in our barn tends to become home to spiders and mud dobbers. To be fair, though, most of her collection was gifts from me. I really like hunting for sets for her.

These are Libbey Cavalcade, which I found at Sweet Lorain in Cleveland. I had to get them since my wife is also an equestrian.
