2 Odyssey CLP200P Carpeted Pro DJ Cases w/Detachable Lid - 400 LP Vinyl Records

To put the capacity figure issue to rest, I have 8 of these units. My entire collection is either OMR's or 180/200 gram LP's. I have placed a cardboard (shipping) piece in the front, one in the rear of each compartment, and every 5th album. I have found that by doing this it cuts way down on ring ware. Every album is placed in a 5ml protective sleeve which is the heaviest you can buy. You should leave some space to get you hands in for removal and new additions. With this method you will come yo about 65 to 70 albums per box, allowing approx. 2" - 3" /side. Don't worry about flopping front to back with the rolled over carpet on the inside it's a very snug fit. Your albums will not be effected in any way and the clear poly sleeve keeps them in place even with the allotted free space. I do agree with a lot of customers these unit should have wheels because you will not pick them up. My situation is better then most in that our entire first floor is custom tile and the metal corners make for great slide ability. Don't forget to add a few packets of silica for moisture. So this 200 count is way out of line, even if you packed them tight front to back the most you'll gain is @ 15 - 20 LP's.

I read some negative reviews of the single case item and was a little worried about negative points that other buyers brought up, so allow me to address those issues:1. 'It's too heavy' - The cases are no heavier than you should expect compressed wood with metal fittings to be. Just imagine it as a small two shelf bookcase. That's about the weight of the unit. I'm by no means a strong guy, but I had no problems lifting the unit by the handle with one hand. No, they aren't extremely mobile when full. But, I would question the intelligence of anyone that would think something carrying 150 LP's is going to be 'mobile'. That being said, I can still pick up the full boxes and move them. Having moved my collection into three different homes, I'm extremely happy I won't ever have to scramble for strangely sized cardboard boxes again or have to worry about sitting things on top of my records during a move. Just pick 'em up and go.2. 'They smell like chemicals' - I noticed a slight smell inside the box of industrial glue, but nothing overpowering. I left the boxes open in the warehouse at my work for a few hours before taking them home and haven't noticed the smell since.3. 'They are poorly constructed' - Here is the only place that takes my star rating down, though again not as much as some others made out. The hinges on the lid are not hard screwed in. This is actually a benefit for me, because I can take the lid off fairly easily. You just have to be careful when opening and shutting the case. One of the two boxes I received did have a pronounced crack along the inside bottom, presumably from a screw snapping the interior wood. I don't think it is anything more than cosmetic and won't damage my records, so I'm not ultimately concerned about it.Now, there are several benefits to these units that I haven't seen elsewhere in LP storage. First, they hold a lot of records and are meant to do so. Anyone that has tried to wrestle with jerryrigging their existing furniture into vinyl storage knows exactly how frustrating that can be. However, it is just as frustrating trying to find anything that is designed for vinyl storage and holds more than 75-100 LPs, and doesn't cost $500 or more. Even cardboard boxes sized specifically for vinyl seem to be outrageously overpriced. This is the rare find where vinyl storage seems to be fairly priced. Second, the boxes do look great. Third, you can easily stack these for larger collections and the individual size isn't so big that they wouldn't fit easily in a closet or under a higher rising bed. Fourth, these allow you a front view of the albums as your flipping through, rather than the spine view (this was a key for me). Fifth, the individual columns aren't so big that they make managing the records inside them a hassle. Finally, the shipping was incredibly fast. I ordered these on a Wednesday morning and received them on Thursday afternoon (it should be noted that I live in the Midwest).One thing I will note for prospective buyers is that I would not plan on actually putting 200 albums in the boxes. It is theoretically possible, but for ease in looking through your collection, plan on putting about 100 LP's in each box and certainly no more than 150. With plastic sleeves, I put just over 90 records in each box leaving just enough space to still flip through the albums.Altogether, I'm extremely happy with this purchase and will continue to buy these as my collection grows.

Just got these and started putting LPs in em. They seem built very well, the top comes off to accommodate LPs and also maybe if you wanna use these for everyday storage of LPs. You could probably fit 200 LPs in one box (both sides) but they'd be very cramped and hard to look through and remove. I'm about to move and I needed good, solid, safe storage for my records, these two seem to fit that bill very well. They're heavy to being with, so with records in them, I'd imagine its definitely a two person job to move/carry these. I recommend these for moving and storing your precious vinyl records.

Awesome cases! They are basically airtight, extremely well constructed, and keep my records nice and snug! One modification which might be considered for future design would be to modify the clasping mechanism to accommodate for a pad lock of sorts, especially if you are storing valuable records.

Product was as described and shipped as statedAll of these years I've used crates and boxes for over 1000 records, this was the best purchase ever to organize my vinyl and clean up my place

Loved these! perfect for storage

My husband was thrilled with the gift and I've lost him to his record collection! Great product!

Based on other reviews, I pointed these out to my wife as a nice Christmas gift for me. Love my wife... 2 cases! Could not be more pleased and I will be ordering two more cases. They pamper and protect my LP treasures like nothing else I could find.
