How to choose your vinyl furniture?
Dimensions
To ensure your record collection will fit in the furniture, make sure the unit is large enough.
Estimate the number of vinyl records you currently own and don't forget to plan for a bit more space, as you're likely to expand your vinyl collection over time.
Also, check that the different storage spaces are well-suited to the sizes of the vinyl records you own.
Durability
The furniture must be strong and stable enough to support the weight of the record player and all the vinyl records.
Accessibility
Choose furniture with a dedicated space for your record player and compartments to store your vinyl records. You should be able to access your vinyls easily and find them quickly.
With multiple compartments, you can organise your records alphabetically or by music genre. Additionally, choose furniture with a suitable height to allow easy access to your records without having to lean down too much.
Aesthetics
Your record player cabinet should match the rest of your décor. Choose a piece that complements your style or opt for a versatile design. Due to their use, vinyl furniture often has a vintage look and is typically made of wood or wood-like materials.
How to store vinyl records?
Vinyl records should be stored vertically, side by side. Never stack them, as this could damage them. Your furniture should be placed away from any sources of heat or moisture.
Keep it away from windows and radiators, as heat and sunlight could damage the records.
