Hi all!
So, I have a client who is interested in a mid-centuryish floating cabinet for vinyl records. She wants 12 running feet of records stacked 2 high, made from 3/4 ply (see sketch below, there is also another hanging cabinet below the record shelves). Now, I've built and hung a lot of upper cabinets, but by my calculation, if this thing were stacked full of records, it would weigh close to 1000lbs! Is this safe to hang on a 2x4 wall? And, how would you go about hanging these? French cleat? Solid wood runner hidden in back? I'd love to make it happen, I just don't want anyone crushed in the process!
