The 12 Best Vinyl Record Storage Solutions

Best Overall

Urban Outfitters Vinyl Record Storage Shelf

4.9

View On Urban Outfitters

This stylish piece packs multiple features into a small and versatile size, and we selected it as the Best Overall because it strikes a sleek balance between form and function. The lower shelf has a built-in rack with slots that can accommodate up to 60 records stored vertically, and there are two upper shelves, too. Use the top one for your record player, for additional horizontal record storage, or simply style them however you see fit.

At 26 inches tall, it's a practical size that will make sense in a bedroom, living room, or even hallway. There are three colors to choose from; black, gold, or gray. This piece is exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Keep in mind that there's an additional charge for shipping, and that returns can involve restock fees, too. We recommend double- and triple-checking the measurements and your color preference before you buy.

Best Budget

Snap-N-Store Vinyl Record Storage Box

View On Amazon View On Walmart View On Michaels

The Snap-N-Store design of these containers allows you to—you guessed it—snap the bins together in a flash, and store your collection with ease. They're sold as single bins, or in sets of two, and each one can hold up to 75 albums, so they're especially great for growing collections, or your overflow records that aren't on full display with your favorites. We love that they come in a range of colors and designs, and that the shiny chrome accents give a pop of polish.

These bins are technically stackable, though the brand doesn't offer a weight limit so proceed with caution if and when you stack. While they're durable and sturdy to an extent, by nature the vinyl material isn't as strong as wood and metal like some of the other selections, so you'll just want to keep that in the back of your mind.

Best Splurge

Urban Outfitters Amelia Low Credenza

View On Urban Outfitters

Interior designer Christina Manzo is a fan of the Amelia Credenza from Urban Outfitters, and we can see why. This low-profile unit is crafted from solid mango wood and MDF (medium-density fiberboard). With a natural finish and grain variations, each piece is truly one of a kind. It's 60 inches wide, 22 inches tall, and 18 inches deep with three spacious cubbies. You'll have plenty of room to stash and organize your vinyl records with extra space to grow your collection.

The clean lines and peg legs have a subtle midcentury vibe without sacrificing modern versatility. You can also remove the legs if you want it flush to the floor. One thing to note is that you have to assemble the credenza yourself, but it shouldn't take long and comes with all the necessary hardware. If this piece is too large for your needs, the nightstand from the Amelia collection would also work well.

Best Midcentury

Modway Render Vinyl Record Storage Display Cabinet

View On Amazon View On 1stopbedrooms.com View On Home Depot

Midcentury design makes sense for records because not only did they overlap in popularity in the 1960s, but also they both remain classically cool. We like the Modway Render Display Stand, which has six evenly spaced metal dividers behind a thoughtful slatted sliding door. Dividers are handy for storing vinyl, as you can place your records upright and easily see the titles on the spines.

There are also two spacious shelves for storing other music-playing essentials. One caveat: We wish this unit was made of solid wood for durability reasons. But the retro-inspired walnut laminate finish and slightly splayed, tapered legs offer that classic midcentury appeal that we can't resist.

Interested in rack storage? Check out the Modern Vinyl Record Holder. Measuring 30 inches tall and 16.5 inches deep, it has two angled shelves for easy access to all your favorite albums.

According to the company, it can hold up to 200 records. Note that this reasonably priced stand is made of metal with a black powder-coated finish. Though you'll have to put it together yourself, it comes with all the necessary tools and hardware and shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.

Best All-in-One

Crosley Furniture Everett Media Console

View On Amazon View On Home Depot View On Walmart

According to Manzo, it's best to keep your vinyl albums near your record player. With this in mind, you might consider an all-in-one storage and music-playing solution, like this thoughtfully designed beauty from Crosley Furniture.

Available in black, white, mahogany, or acorn (golden-brown), the Everett Media Console has two adjustable shelves with wire album dividers behind dual sliding cabinet doors. There's also a hinged lid on one side with a designated cutout for your turntable, plus a hole in the back for the power cord.

Best for Small Collections

KAIU Vinyl Record Storage Holder

View On Amazon

For small vinyl collections, this slim wooden rack with acrylic panels is a great choice. The pared-down display can hold up to 50 records, though smaller collections look great in it, too.

The storage system is made of solid wood, and you can choose between six different finishes. This affordable stand is also conveniently compact, so you can place it on a cabinet, floating shelf, desk, or table—you name it—and move it around your home as needed. Note that it is a standalone piece, so you'll want to ensure that it's in a safe spot that won't be accidentally bumped.

Best for Large Collections

Hammacher Schlemmer The Aficionado's 800 LP Organizer

View On Hammacher.com

If you own more than a few hundred records and are always adding to your collection, you'll need something a bit bigger, like the Aficionado's LP Organizer. This shelving unit is 60 inches wide, 30 inches tall, and 13.5 inches deep.

The record storage organizer has eight equally sized cubbies for stashing up to 800 vinyl records, and because there's no back, you shouldn't have an issue fitting larger albums. Available in black or walnut, this storage system calls for at-home assembly. But considering the size, price, and lifetime guarantee, this is a minor inconvenience.

Best Display

Labend Home Vinyl Record Display Shelf Set of 8

View On Amazon View On Etsy View On Labendhome.com

Manzo says your favorite LPs can double as wall art—and your wall art can double as storage. She recommends these display shelves from Labend Home. You'll get a set of eight, each made by hand from solid pine wood in your choice of light natural, mahogany brown, or espresso.

The shelves are about 14 inches wide and 3 inches deep, with a groove down the center to ensure your albums stand upright without slipping. They come with all the necessary hanging hardware too. While each shelf can hold up to three LPs, giving you total space for 24 albums, you might still need an additional storage solution if your collection is substantial. Or you might consider buying more than one set to create a full statement wall.

Best with Dividers

Record-Happy Vinyl Record Storage Holder

View On Amazon

With a modern, minimalist design, these triangular racks can be used on their own, or added to a cubby, crate, or shelf for additional organization. Even better, they're available in black, gold, and rose gold, and with five or nine slots to accommodate 20-30 records. We love their versatility because they can double as magazine or file storage, too.

The freestanding design gives you ultimate flexibility in how you use them—although keep in mind that your records are mostly exposed. For those who want easy access and display, this could be ideal, but for anyone looking for added protection, you may need to consider other options.

Best for Long-Term Storage

Really Useful Box Small Stackable Vinyl Record Storage Box

View On The Container Store

When a brand dubs itself "Really Useful" as is the case here, you're allowed to have high expectations. With these storage bins, we believe the name is justified. They're sturdy and stackable, which is ideal for long-term storage, plus there are added conveniences like handles for easy carrying, and frosted transparent construction to give you a peek at what's inside.

They come in two sizes, and we're opting to feature the smaller of the two because it's more budget friendly and still holds up to 50 LPs (compared to the larger size's capacity of 90). While they aren't as stylish or aesthetically pleasing as some of the more design-forward choices on this list, we think these are a great choice for a collection that needs to stay protected for months or years at a time,
