Great use of vertical space
As an apartment dweller, I love getting as much use out of vertical space as possible. As a record lover, it's hard to find storage & furniture manufacturers with us small-space folks in mind. I mostly picked this up because of the two full shelves underneath, and hoping to tidy up my turntable space. Needless to say I was thrilled at the concept & was hoping it was as great in execution. Addressing things from other reviews: my unit did not have any issue with smell. Assembly is a great throwback to all of who grew up playing with Lincoln Logs - it's amazingly simple and clever with no tools needed. Outside of the very first step, I needed no assistance. In terms of sturdiness, it's fairly solid. I'm pretty sure if I messed around with records on the shelves while I had another album playing there would be skipping, so it's not a solid brick. But there's no wobble during normal use. Seems about right for the price. Zero gripes, and my turntable space looks slick - certainly would recommend.

Beautiful Record stand.
Really is a nice piece of furniture. Can't believe how it matches the furniture we have had for over 20 years. We have had problems trying to find things that matched, but this did the job. Was so easy to put together, maybe took me 30 minutes. It took me longer to remove from the box, it was really well protected. Was a little worried that it was not going to fir where I needed it, but it fit perfectly. Looked at a lot of record changer stands and this one was truly the best. Would recommend this to a friend.

Easy assembly; looks great
This stand is easy to put together. It actually took me longer to unpack the pieces and read the directions than it did to put it together. It is an attractive piece of furniture; it doesn't have a plastic-like veneer look as so many of these type of furniture pieces do. A couple of things I wish were different: it uses plastic "screws" as fasteners. If you're not moving it much, it should be fine. However, if you want it to be sturdier, I recommend a trip to the hardware store to buy some nuts/bolts/washers.. Whatever works for you. Also, I do wish the second shelf was a bit taller. For those like me who use a separate receiver/turntable set up, most receivers will not fit into the second shelf. (yes, I knew the receiver was too tall when I ordered the stand; this is merely an observation). We were able to sit our receiver on the top shelf and then put the turntable on top. While it's nice to have everything on one stand, it does take away a bit from the furniture to have all the electronics stacked on top... But we decided it was better than having another table nearby for the receiver. Overall, it's a great piece of furniture, especially for the price.

Just the perfect size/shape
First, I'm not sure if this product is a ripoff of the Line Phono product.... I hope it's been licensed from them (usa company) to be manufactured in China. Ultimately chose this one because of the glossier finish that matches my media cabinet and is easier to clean/dust. Everything was packed well, no damage. Very easy to put together with clear instructions. The little plastic 'push pins' that hold everything together are pretty flimsy. It'd be more reassuring if they pushed in tightly, but regardless, the design is such that once you get some weight loaded onto the shelves, it's pretty sturdy. The layout is just perfect for me. The very top fits my Rega P1 with 1/4" gap all the way around the edges. I did have to raise up the turntable so that the dust cover could open fully. I did this with some $10 washer/dryer isolation bumpers that are 3/4" tall. Second shelf again is the perfect size for a 2U size preamp. Lower 2 shelves again are the perfect size for record sleeves and other smaller decor. The little slots cut into the fronts of the shelves to display the "now playing" album cover is great. I also appreciate the cable routing holes to keep power/signal cables separated from each other and that there's just enough space in the 'cavity' below the bottom shelf to tuck a power strip.
