Review: "I searched high and low for months for a vertical LP storage option. This is the perfect solution for me. The frame is minimal, but strong, so it allows my LP collection to really take center stage. Also, for being shipped internationally, this product arrived much quicker that I thought or was promised. I would highly recommend this product and this vendor."

These decorative boxes look so good, you won't want to put them away and each set holds over 100 records. The fact that they're stackable makes the a real space saver, too. We suggest alphabetizing or labeling each box by genre to stay extra organized.

Review: "When I first got two of these, I questioned that they would be sturdy enough for my records. I have had them stacked two-high for three months now and the bottom cubes are holding up just fine—no sign of the bottoms being crushed by the tops. They look nice. A little expensive, but I think they have MDF internally instead of the cardboard usually used in storage cubes. These are worth the price bump, plus they are a little bigger than normal shelf cubes."

Review: "Solid vinyl record displays. Props to the creators, I've been looking for a way to display my records but everything pretty much locked the record away behind a case. This actually lets you grab the record off the display and play it. I bought one and planning on getting several more for my guest room record wall. The install is really easy, only took like 10 minutes."

The best way to store vinyl records is first and foremost in their record sleeve and jacket. Make sure that your vinyl records are also stored in a cool place where you can control the temperature. If vinyl records get too hot or cold this can lead to cracks, warping, and it will eventually damage the record.

“My wife constructed a wall with floating shelves to house some of my records,” says New York-based author and music journalist Marcus J. Moore to House Beautiful. “Not only is it practical, it adds a nice visual element to our apartment.”

He also recommends a sturdy wooden credenza to withstand the weight of the vinyl itself. “Sure you can go with something newer-looking, but nothing beats the vintage storage units designed for those records,” he adds. “It hides them while giving your place a chic, fashionable look.”

Records should always be stored vertically to prevent damage or cracking of the record. When you put away a record horizontally or flat, this tends to warp the record and also diminish the quality of the music over time.
