Repurposing a bakery cooling rack is a great idea… did you have it shipped?
I built shelving out of wood. The shelves consist of two flat boards (each subdivided from a single long board) glued together along their long axis. L-brackets connect the shelves to four vertical 2×2's.
Working well, but in retrospect I wish they were wide enough to accommodate two full-sized keyboards.
Where do you guys store your keyboards?

2 IKEA KALLAX shelves with a bunch of cheap metal file sorters and even that isn't enough . I've added about 15 more boards to my collection since this pic was taken. Plus those are just my vintage boards.
Could really use some organization.

I love that! I’m getting a setup just like it!dcopellino wrote: ↑29 Aug 2019, 10:00It is a pity to keep them closed in their postal boxes. I think you have enough room in that corner to set a Ikea BESTA up as I made with mines. What do you think of my Ikea low cost solution? Consider anyway that I slightly modded it adding some extra shelves, some of them were also further modded with the addition of a couple of sliding guides on both sides. It was very easy to arrange. The led light strip then, is the "peasant" note that puts the icing on the cake.

One of the reasons I keep mine closed in boxes is to keep the dust off of them. I'm worried enough about my Alps boards before cleaning off a fucking foot of dusk if I don't get to my Focus in the next year.
