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.

Commercial Kitchen 20 Sheet Bun Pan Bakery Rack.

$155 with free shipping

Commercial-grade hardware made of aluminum. 70-inch tall rack is on wheels for easy moving around the workshop. Each level is exactly 3-inches tall.

You can choose if you want to use plywood shelves, wire shelving, or 26"x18" bakery/cookie sheet pans.

There also exist 10-layer bakery racks which could also be useful for keeping keyboards on top of a desk or table versus a full-standing 20-layer rack.

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.

Oh man you're living the dream over there! What keyboards do you have?

Lovely . I use Kallax cupboards as well for my collection ^^ .

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.

I love that! I’m getting a setup just like it!

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.

I am too. Just the right balance of storage capacity and presentation.

In the most ordinary cardboard boxes

My closet. It's the only place I got. But I'm honestly on my forever keyboard I think now, my Model F XT.
