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.
Slot-together design. No Allen wrenches, no hardware, no instructions video required.
Made in our San Diego workshop and shipped fast. No 6-week furniture waits.
Each shelf tier holds 60–80 records. Three tiers on the Modern Shelf means 200+ total.
13-ply Baltic birch plywood. Not particle board, not MDF, not laminate over cardboard.
6 Ways to Store Your Vinyl
Real setups using UNFNSHED shelves — from a single album on display to a full record-room wall.
The Modular Shelf as a full hi-fi rig. Turntable, amp, and headphones up top, records on the open lower tier. Wide enough for separates, low enough to sit and listen.
The Modular Shelf against a sunlit window. Turntable and a propped album cover on top, a flat stack of records below. Reads as living room furniture, not a record crate.
The Modern Shelf as a 3-tier vinyl corner. Turntable and a plant on top, 50–100 records standing upright in the middle, design books below. Fits anywhere there’s a wall.
The Modular Shelf in its wider configuration holds 150+ records standing upright on the lower tier, with room for books and decor on top. Add modules vertically as the collection grows.
The Modular Shelf sized down as a low listening console under a full wall of vinyl. Vintage receiver and lamp on top, open below for what’s coming next out of the crates.
The Record / Book Holder turns the album you’re spinning into wall art. Sits on any flat surface, holds the cover upright facing out, and swaps in a second — no frames, no nails, no commitment. The piece every record collection is missing.
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.
