This morning, I came across a simple Danish teak record cabinet on Craigslist. I've seen these before but this design looks like a perfect way to have a dedicated music listening center for your turntable and records.
The unit is 45.5" wide x 25.5" tall x 19.5 deep. The hinged-top section on the right side is perfect for protecting your turntable from dust (although I'd still be sure I had a dust cover on it) and easily swings upward to allow full access to the turntable. On the left, there's space for a receiver and across the bottom, a sliding door section is perfect for storing a long row of records.
It's available here for $265 and for you DIYers out there, this could be a great weekend project. For additional inspiration, take a look at Test Collective's Volume record furniture here.
Anyone using something like this?
