KAIU Vinyl Record Storage Holder - Solid Wood with Crystal Clear Acrylic Holder - Premium Design, Perfect 12" LPs or 7" Singles Display Unit - Stores and Supports up to 50 Albums (Vintage Brown)

So you've gone so far as to set up your old school receiver and turntable and rekindle your record collection from the 80s (or at least that was my case). With an Amazon Echo a few feet away able to play just about any song you want, the turntable was as much a conversation piece as a music system, taking you away from your digital lifestyle for a brief moment as you manually load up a record, hear the crackle of the needle, and maybe have to sit through a song or two that you would have skipped on your Spotify playlist (or never hear at all).So when it comes to your records, not only do they need to be within reach so you actually use them, they also should be put on display so you or others can flip through them to find that instant classic. This is a great way to do that. Yes, the stack of records on the shelf below the turntable was fine, but you have to constantly shuffle things in and out. It took just one trip to the record store and flipping through them from to back to realize I definitely needed a system like this one, and not a crate or a shelf.This little gem fits the bill. Yes, it's easy to get angry and say ... geesh, $28 for two pieces of wood and 2 pieces of plastic? An extra $7 for a little bit of stain? But rather than be a hater, I chose to admire the seller's gross margin. If you already have a circular saw in your converted barn and a preferred plexiglass supplier, then go make your own. The key thing being, he seems to back it up with solid customer service, so just write off the extra $10 as the cost of doing business, buy the thing, and start planning that swanky cocktail party in your living room while people admire your 1977 Saturday Night Fever vinyl.

It was easy to assemble and looks great!! I love the clear panels, they still let you see the record art. Wish they made it for 7".

Good

Excellent value for this item. The plexiglass plates are just large enough to hold 7 inch records. The wood is unfinished, which is fine. I've purchased another hand made of this type from a vendor on Itsy so I'll compare it to that one. This one was considerably less costlier. I paid over double the cost for the other storage rack. The Itsy one is much more refined. I was a finished wood product but as these things go I would have rather not paid double for the finishing. Thus the value.If there was a single complaint, I would say that there is no provision for spacing the lower wood bases. What I was actually expecting and it is hard to tell from the product picture, is notches in the plexiglass to ensure consistent spacing between the wood bases. This is not the case. The bases slide inward and outward. This isn't entirely bad as spacing them closer for 7" records is probably better while separating them toward the edges of the plexiglass would be better for LPs. My solution to this will probably to place some small blocks of between the bases and glue them together. Either that or drill the bases and space them with dowels. The blocks are probably easier and sufficient. To be honest, if notches in the plexiglass couldn't have been provided, it would have been nice if dowels with pre-drilled holes in the bases were provided. The longer length dowel to space them for LPs would be sufficient. You could always cut them down if you were going to use the rack for only 7" records. If the bases had included a provision to properly space the bases, I would have gave a 5 star rating. It's still a decent product as-is and very usable. With some simple DIY it can be improved with some scrap wood that I have laying around.

I needed something compact to hold my records. This record holder fit the bill exactly. It was easy to put together and even gave you two different colored sets of screws so if you like black use black and if you like silver use silver. It was really sturdy when put together. It took maybe three minutes to put together. I really liked how the acrylic came with plastic on it so you could tear it off and have really shiny and clean acrylic. it also comes with a screwdriver and a cloth the polish the acrylic. This was exactly what I needed, and holds my record securely. I really glad I got this one.

OK so with less material than the "rustic" farm crate, milk crate, egg crate, beer crate...the list could go on... but yet being around the same price as some of those items listed, one might think it's not really worth it. But it is, it really is. I would hands-down recommend this as the "alternate" display/holding case. The other crates won't tell you that when you cart them around, pun not intended, the records will knock around inside their wooden kingdom. And sleeve protectors or not, your albums will start to wear out around the edges. Also, if you've got a lot of them stuffed in the crate of your choice, flipping them to see what you feel like listening to can start to bend them, on the top and the bottom if they slide underneath the others and if you're straining to see which record it is along the top. So here it is! Something different to look at and something to display quite a few handfuls of your favorites-at-the-moment without bruising the sides or bending the top/bottom. The grooves along the bottom do their best to prevent the front ones from sliding underneath, and the front piece of acrylic is at a VERY nice angle to get the flipped ones out of the way to continue your perusing. A conversation piece as well just because it;s not a damn crate, stained "rustic" pine or not.
