Record cabinets, made in the Netherlands
Face your music
Your records, cover-forward, in the room where you actually live. Flip through them the way you would in a shop, and change the sleeve at the front whenever you like.
How many records do you have?
Start with the number you own now. One column, one compartment high, holds around 140. Every compartment you add holds about 60 more, and you can always add a column later.
Same cabinet. Never the same wall.
Fifty-eight of them so far, sent in by the people who own them, with their own records at the front. One column in a hallway, a five-wide wall behind the sofa, a low run with a turntable on top, a colour nobody expected.

“Initially my wife thought it might be a bit bulky, but it turns out it is very transparent and blends in nicely in our living room.”
Heinze E., Netherlands
“After decades of moving house in boxes, finally a place where my records get their due.”
Reggy F., Netherlands
“Your collection has never looked better, and more importantly, it's never been easier to access.”
Jason M., Ireland
Why cover-forward
You stop reading spines
A record sleeve is thirty centimetres of artwork. Filed spine-out, none of it shows and you end up playing the same twenty records. In a Coverfront, one sleeve faces the room in every compartment and the rest stand upright behind it, so you flip through your collection the way you would in a record shop.
The cabinet started with a collector who kept his records against the wall, sleeves out, because they were too good to hide. Swap the front sleeve whenever you like. It is the cheapest way we know to change a room.
One box per column
One flat box per column, about 41 cm wide, so even a five-wide wall comes through a normal door.
Ordinary tools, nothing to cut
Pre-drilled panels, numbered parts, all the hardware in one bag.
Records stay put
A lip along the front of every compartment holds the first sleeve, and the rest lean back behind it.
One flat shipping rate
Per order, whatever the size. You see the amount at checkout before you pay.
Two finishes, same cabinet
Same sizes, same number of records, same way of putting it together. The only question is whether you want to see the wood.
Birch plywood
You see the wood
White or black faces, with the edge of the birch plywood left bare. Every compartment gets a thin line of wood around it, so you can see how the cabinet is made.

Spray-painted
You see only colour
Every panel is sprayed edge to edge, so there is no wood in sight. White, black or any RAL colour you like, at the same price: the shade of your wall, or something louder than the sleeves.

Our story
It began with one collector and a pile of leftover wood
Why the sleeves face out, why the sides slope, and who makes the cabinet now.

Something other than a rectangle
Steps under a sloping roof, a pyramid, a tower with a low bench beside it, or wider than five columns. Same parts, different shape, price shown straight away.
