Any design gems you spotted at IKEA lately?

For sturdy, practical, and inexpensive, I've found the Ikea Kallax storage units to be the best thing for records. Ship in a flat pack and easy to assemble. You can stack 'em to the ceiling without fear of collapse. A clear lacquer-like acrylic finish. Different colors.

That's probably the only thing I'd buy from Ikea, although someone once told me the meatballs are pretty good.

That looks quite nice! I can't find this on my local Ikea website? Is it an older model?

I guess we can nominate DIY derivatives? If so, I'd like to nominate these:

SB Acoustics Bromo

I finally finished my last (yes, last, not latest) DIY build. A pair of SB Acoustics Bromo. It took me way too long to get it done. I just don't have the time nor motivation anymore to build my own gear. Economically it makes much less sense for me also. But, I'm really happy with the result. In...

O no! That would be a shame!

3 ikea lack tables stacked and the good old kallax..

I quite like the Ikea Evedal lamps. Available as both a table lamp, a floorlight and a hanging ceiling light. Should work quite nicely with my coloured Philips Hue lights.

Where would cheapskate audiophiles be had it not been for Expedit (and, later, the aforementioned Kallax)?

I got the floor standing. It's good quality and heavy. Bit on the expensive side for ikea..

Another vote for Kallax here. I wish they'd make a 3-tiered insert for it so that one could stack headphone amp, DAC, streamer on individual shelves.

They have at set of two glass shelves that would accommodate three devices:

Should be a straight forward 'ikea hack'..although 3x ply would probably cost more that the kallax!

That's the problem with IKEA hacks. Someone needs to invent an IKEA Prime to buy them from.

Or I could construct a Darko Special out of those door stoppers and chopping boards. But then I'd need to put on safety boots every time I fired up the A90.
