    Based on your experience, I think I would 8 - 12 cubes to hold the rest of my collection.
    I think you're right, wall mounting is the intended method. But my concern would be the weight - based on a rough calculation of an average 5 albums per kg, a filled eight-cube Kallax would weigh in at about 120kg (about 265lb in old money) plus the shelving itself.

    But just sat directly on the floor just didn't look right to me, so I cut some pieces of 3x2 timber into 100mm lengths, matt sprayed them black and placed them under the shelving. Looks a bit more like proper furniture now.

    I've since come across things like this on Amazon - hundreds of different designs and finishes available - but I'm not changing them now.

    And to get around the issue of the albums pushing to the back when taking out/replacing, I'm going to cut 8 pieces of 23x50mm roof tile batten (total cost about 3 quid) and fix them on the shelves towards the back to make a "back stop".
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    He did some great stuff. Alexi Sayle's Stuff.

    Think he's just writing books now since they're not allowed to make good TV shows anymore.
