Review on 🎡 Crosley AC1004A-MA Mahogany Record Storage Crate - Holds 75 Albums with Style! by Noel Pilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expressive but not worth the price

I bought this item after seeing this beautiful and distinctive way of storing my vinyl collection. The seller packed my goods well (I ordered 2 boxes) and shipped fairly quickly. just beautiful; However, one crate had to be replaced due to a thin crack in part of the emblem crate. However; The seller sent the replacement product quickly and without delay and this unit was not damaged. As other reviewers have pointed out, you're only paying for the Crosley badge, which is the only real difference this drawer makes, aside from the many colors available. Although the description says it will hold 70 Lp I wouldn't put more than 50-59 on a box to avoid the possibility of it unraveling or just breaking. The drawer is fairly easy to assemble, but use caution as wood is generally pressed wood and the spindle is light when tightening the screws in the pre-drilled holes. The manufacturer recommends a Phillips head screw; However, if you want to get it done right away, you can use a low voltage progressive drill. While the boxes are beautiful, I'm not sure I can justify the cost of this item combined with my reluctance to pack 50+ records into one box at a time. If you are just starting out with your record collection and have a small collection, I would recommend these boxes simply for the "cool factor" versus the overall functionality; For vinyl enthusiasts with a larger collection, you may also want to get a pair for the 'cool factor', but don't expect an expanded set of features for your larger collection.
