Vinyl Storage

Vinyl record storage that actually shows off your collection

Most vinyl record storage is either a plastic crate on the floor or an IKEA Kallax that everyone owns. Your records deserve better. Our shelves store vinyl vertically, visibly, in real furniture you actually want in your living room.

The Modern Shelf has three open tiers that hold 100+ records with spines facing out — flip through your collection the way you would at a record shop. The Modular Shelf grows with your collection — start with one unit and stack more as you buy. The Record / Book Holder is a countertop display stand for the albums you’re playing this week.

Vinyl Record Storage FAQ

What is the best way to store vinyl records?

Store them vertically, on open shelves, away from heat and direct sunlight. Never stack records flat — the weight warps the bottom discs over time. Our Modern Shelf and Modular Shelf keep records upright with spines facing out so you can flip through them like you would at a record store. The Record / Book Holder works as a countertop display for albums in current rotation.

How many records fit on a shelf?

It depends on shelf width and sleeve thickness. A good rule of thumb: each inch of shelf space holds roughly 2–3 records with outer sleeves. A 30-inch shelf tier holds about 60–80 records. The Modern Shelf has three tiers and holds 200+ records total. The Modular Shelf is stackable, so there’s no upper limit — add units as your collection grows.

Is it OK to store vinyl records in wood furniture?

Yes. Wood doesn’t off-gas the way some plastics can, and it’s dimensionally stable enough to hold heavy record collections without bowing. Our shelves are made from 13-ply Baltic birch plywood — the same material used in speaker cabinets and studio furniture. It won’t warp under weight. Just keep records away from heat sources like radiators and direct sunlight. Browse the Modern Shelf, Modular Shelf, and Record / Book Holder.
