Plastic dividers - same that were in all the record stores I frequented as a youth is <$30 for 26. Granted these may be nicer initially ( not sure about susceptibility to warping & cracking). I'd give it a go for about half the max drop - for me anyway.
JOYCEfromNSHey Joyce, I can answer this question! We use a high grade European birch, after experimenting with a lot of different types and grades of wood. We've had no reported problems with cracking from our customers or our studio-- however with any wood product, extreme changes in temperature and humidity can cause slight temporary warping. In the same way you'd keep your vinyl in a stable, moderate temperature environment, the wood panels will do just fine. Any possible warping in transit can be reversed by stacking the panels on top of each other, with a few heavy books on top in a warm environment. That said, we haven't had any reported issues with this.

KateKoeppelDesignKate, first of all, thank you very much for your elaborations. So does the wood remain in its 'naked' state then? Or are there are stains, sealants, or other treatments in the process? Also can you confirm where these are made? In San Francisco where the design studio is based or somewhere outside? Thanks.
LxJLthrHi there, yes, we are based in SF, and all of our design AND production takes place in the city as well. The wood is natural and unfinished because sealants and stains deteriorate over time, which would eventually lead to damage to albums. We chose to leave our panels natural, so there is no risk of chemical breakdown or leaching, which would destroy albums. This deterioration process takes years, but not worth the risk to collections!
