Review on Stylish Wood Vinyl Record Holder - Stores Up To 50 LPs, 7 Or 12 Inch - Clear Acrylic Ends, Portable Stand - Ideal Gift For Record Collectors - Brown by Crystal Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for tabletop storage off record.

Excellent value for this item. The plexiglass plates are just large enough to hold 7 inch records. The wood is unfinished, which is fine. I've purchased another hand made of this type from a vendor on Itsy so I'll compare it to that one. This one was considerably less costlier. I paid over double the cost for the other storage rack. The Itsy one is much more refined. I was a finished wood product but as these things go I would have rather not paid double for the finishing. Thus the value.If there was a single complaint, I would say that there is no provision for spacing the lower wood bases. What I was actually expecting and it is hard to tell from the product picture, is notches in the plexiglass to ensure consistent spacing between the wood bases. This is not the case. The bases slide inward and outward. This isn't entirely bad as spacing them closer for 7" records is probably better while separating them toward the edges of the plexiglass would be better for LPs. My solution to this will probably to place some small blocks of between the bases and glue them together. Either that or drill the bases and space them with dowels. The blocks are probably easier and sufficient. To be honest, if notches in the plexiglass couldn't have been provided, it would have been nice if dowels with pre-drilled holes in the bases were provided. The longer length dowel to space them for LPs would be sufficient. You could always cut them down if you were going to use the rack for only 7" records. If the bases had included a provision to properly space the bases, I would have gave a 5 star rating. It's still a decent product as-is and very usable. With some simple DIY it can be improved with some scrap wood that I have laying around.
