My vinyl storage is simple in my small listening room. I have an under-lit tall table with three 75 record low wooden boxes so over 200 records at my fingertips. I just slide onto my listening chair ottoman to make my record selection. These records are in my current rotation and are in no particular order other than rock, jazz and crooner boxes respectively.
On the other side of the room I have a tall 5-shelf adjustable shelf bookcase with another 200 alphabatized records with wooden dividers that look like paint sticks.
The poly exterior record sleeves in the three wooden boxes have the opening on the side of the record which is very convenient and easy without removing the record from the record jacket or exterior poly sleeve.
The poly record sleeves in the bookcase are open on the top. Not as convenient because the open end needs to be on the top so they stay on when pulling the records in and out so the sleeve/jacket need to be removed to get to the record - certainly not a deal breaker but something to think about.
