apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Am I the only one a bit disturbed by "Wood Rumours?" Is there a reason someone bothered to photoshop "Fleet" and "Mac" out of this image? It's a shame- this album so completely totally rules the universe!

I like the idea, but $54 for 3 pieces of wood with a groove in it is kinda ridiculous.

I think the price reflects that they are made of solid wood (not sure what kind, but I've seen them in person and it is a hard wood, not soft like the pine IKEA uses for their similar shelf)

They are also handmade in Canada, not mass produced in China. I'm sure the hidden mounting thingies are also a factor in the price.

hejiranyc - That was also the first thing I noticed about the picture, and it bothered me, too. I love that album.

It bothers me that the pictures hanging above are crooked! But I'm like that.

I don't understand why the "Fleet" and "Mac" were removed.

I love this album too, but this whole thing reminds me of the 70s, and not in a good way. LPs were made to hold in your hands and examine while listening. Not to put on a shelf in lieu of real art - unless you are a poor student. But a poor student would NEVER spend $54 on a set of little shelves, no matter what kind of wood they're made of.

Maybe LPs are so outdated, they're back in again in a kitschy way?

Have LP enthusiasts changed their mind about the common advice that records should not be stored leaning?

I love the amount of comments about the record cover, which by the way was most certainly altered purposely as a play on Furni being a wood centric company. I'm sure you can display many items on this shelf if your not into records how about a print or a photograph. This is a functional and beautiful shelf that has a lot of potential.
