The heavier the better. How wide are the alcoves?
I made shelves for my 125cm wide alcoves in a similar fashion and they really aren't strong enough for vinyl or books. I used 18mm pine with a 38 x 18mm front strip. I may remake them from scaffold board.

It might be easier to make supports that you can insert (and maybe even move to allow a decorative effect). 1.25m is quite a span for vinyl. Try the sagulator to see if scaffold board would improve things in theory but supports could just be added to what you have there. You might need to add one inside the cupboard though.

105cm. Is that 38mm deep at the front then? Doesn't look too chunky.

What cupboard doors did you use, snd where is the fire surround from?

Alcove shelving. Planning on batons on three sides, then shelf on top and a facing strip to cover the front and the batons. I have some big 24mm beech ply sheets. Are these going to be too heavy and overkill? Should I get some thinner MDF or something?
For record deck and such on one shelf, records on another, and books and shit.
