Crates or boxes for vinyl records in Carlow?

    I've got a reasonably modest record collection and they're currently stored in fold up crates I purchased from Tesco. These crates are useless as anytime I pick them up the sides collapse.

    Does anyone know somewhere in Carlow I could purchase boxes or crates suitable for storing records? They don't have to be specifically marketed as record boxes but they would have to be slightly wider than 12 inches (preferably a similar length and possibly a slightly smaller height) and fairly sturdy. I'm looking for something along the lines of the one in this picture, although handles aren't vital.

    I can't see anything suitable in either Heatons or Tesco, they're all far too big.

    Have a look in homestore and more as they have a large selection of plastic boxes almost exactly like the one in the picture

    I had a look in Woodies and saw something that might be suitable, but it seemed a bit expensive for a plastic box. I haven't tried Doyles yet but will next time I'm in town. Thanks for the suggestions.

    You should visit Soul trader on Dublin St and ask them if they can hook you up with someone who sells boxes fitted for vinyl :)

    The picture you used is the brand "Really useful box". I got larger ones from Argos and Viking-Direct online and they are brilliant. One word of warning - while they are strong - they can be brittle. They will take a lot of weight but if you drop them then they can break.

    I've seen a lot of different size ones in Jones Business Systems - I imagine they can order that size if needed. You can order directly online from the manufacturer:
