Just remembered that I have Kallax shelving in my spare room/office. You'll want to strengthen the shelves - mine are bowing noticeabley when about 1/2 full of paper files.

Yeah, I was a, bit concerned about that, it's basically made for vinyl but yeah, I'll add some support. 

Current idea is an 18mm bit of marine ply left over by the bathroom fitters!

Umm, take the architrave off. Insert kallax. Put architrave back.

The unit will house vinyl, so will be *very* heavy! 

Metallica, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden I presume.

if very 'eavy & also very 'umble will be Uriah Heep ...

Is it the 77x147 you want to fit in there? 

I think you could probably build 2 of the 77x77 in there if you screw top and bottom.  Then you can stack one on top of the other, presuming your cupboard is a bit more than 77cm deep? 

How deep is it?

Interesting, it's 80cm deep.

Current plan is to have the kallax on its side. 

Practically it's probably slightly less ideal, it doesn't make a huge difference though
