Hi everyone. I got my first set (a 2x2) of Expedit shelves a while back and have started loading them with LPs - I haven't even filled ONE of the cubicles yet, but I suppose I will, over time.
What I'm a bit worried about is the fact that I asked the girl at the store what the max weight for each of the shelves was, and she said something like 13 kg - which a full 'hole' of records exceeds, comfortably.
I was wondering, for those of you who've had these longer than I have, what your experience has been, in this regard.
Thanks!
