What are the units that the milk crates are in?
Me to.
I'm thinking of eventually using a rack system rather than shelving though.

I will add "genuine heavy duty milk crates" should be used. Walmart and Target sell these look alike milk crates and they are thin and flimsy. I do not trust carrying records in them. I thought to mention this since some collectors might confuse the types.

These were bought at Sam's Club about 4 years ago. Like most things, the same style isn't available now. :(
If you shop around for these I'd recommend taking along a milk crate to see how it fits. Be sure the shelves have support rims around the bottoms so they won't sag. Stay away from chipboard or plastic.

Interesting idea. Thanks for posting. My only suggestion would be to add a lot more support for the upper shelf. Record weight adds up very, very fast!
