From what I understand, it’s pretty much the only affordable, yet sturdy shelving unit that’s a perfect fit for LP records. So if you have a large vinyl collection and you’re not especially wealthy, it’s the only good option out there. I do know people who have multiples of these in their house and as the collection grows, they buy a new one.
Ikea replacements are frequently less sturdy than the prior model, and with large vinyl collections, you’re putting a lot of weight on the shelves. So, not only does it not match what you already have, but theres a fear that it wont be as sturdy.
(disclosure, I also have a lof of Ikea furniture)
