If you get an IKEA chopping board:

and turn it upside-down and back-to-front, it makes a very nice wall
shelf for hi-fi equipment.

The lip makes it look very smart from the front (the little food-safe
branding on the side edge adds a touch of whimsy).

You need to cut it down, because it's deeper front-to-back (53cm) than
it needs to be even for a record player (about 41cm).

The width is ideal. Of course, the care instructions say to oil it
regularly, but that's mainly to help achieve a smooth, natural sound.

IKEA is like Lego for grown-ups, if you're not careful.

Be careful how you fix it..

its made of narrow strips of beech (about 2" wide) glued together.

the strips run parallel to the lip so you probably can't use a
cantilever bracket to fix it at the rear edge but you can at the sides.
