Why it matters

Storage is preservation, not decoration.

The right furniture keeps records flat, ventilated and out of sunlight — the three things that decide whether a collection survives decades. Below: the questions collectors actually ask, answered without the sales fluff.

Storage FAQ

Storing records, the right way.

The Vinyl Modular system: stackable solid-Paulownia cubes that hold about 50 LPs each in roughly a 35 cm footprint. You build vertically, so a large collection fits a small floor area — and you add cubes as you grow.

Start with a single box or crate. The Classic Box and Vinyl Record Crate hold 50–70 LPs from around €45–€50, and a single Vinyl Modular cube is €53.99. All are solid wood, and all expand later — no throwaway furniture.

Dust is vinyl's main enemy. Use lidded boxes (the Orbit Box is felt-lined with a solid lid) or closed cabinets for archival storage, and always sleeve records in anti-static inners. Open shelving is fine for daily players if you brush before each spin.

Solid wood. KTS uses Paulownia — acid-free, naturally light and strong enough to carry packed LP weight without sagging. Avoid MDF and laminated particleboard: they absorb humidity and bow over time under sustained load.

Vertically, never stacked flat. Keep them at 15–21°C and 40–50% relative humidity, away from direct sun and heat sources, in anti-static sleeves. Solid wood, vertical, ventilated storage is the archival standard.

Think vertical. Wall mounts like the Flying V use zero floor space, while stackable Vinyl Modular cubes turn a narrow footprint into hundreds of LPs. A 150-record collection fits comfortably against a single wall.

Yes, for protection and stacking. The Orbit Box is a solid-wood lidded crate with felt lining that holds 50–60 LPs and stacks cleanly — ideal if you want dust protection without a full cabinet.

The Modular Foreigner range pairs a 1970s–80s aesthetic with modern solid-wood construction and the signature KTS perforated panel — warm finishes that suit mid-century and eclectic interiors.

Flat is the enemy. Vertical is the rule.

Almost every storage question comes back to the same three answers: solid wood, upright, and out of the sun.

Record Player Stand FAQ

Stands that hold more than a turntable.

Three things: vibration isolation, enough weight capacity for your gear, and integrated storage. A solid-wood stand decouples the turntable from floor vibration while keeping records and accessories in reach.

Measure your turntable's footprint, then add room for an amp and airflow. A complete station like the Digger's Stack puts the deck on top with 150 LPs below, so one piece covers play and storage.

A combined station. The Digger's Stack and Iroko Rack hold the turntable on top and 150–170 records below in a single footprint — listening and library in one compact piece.

Mass-market stands use particleboard, veneer and staples. A KTS stand is solid Paulownia with proper joinery — it carries equipment weight safely and lasts decades, where flat-pack sags within a few years.

The Digger's Stack (150 LPs), Iroko Rack (170 LPs) and Modular Foreigner combine a turntable surface with real storage below — a full vinyl station rather than a bare platform.

Isolation. A solid-wood stand with mass decouples the deck from footsteps, speakers and subwoofers travelling through the floor, reducing rumble and improving tracking noticeably.

Yes. The Vinyl Break includes a floating shelf above the deck for leaning the cover you're playing — on display and protected from dust at the same time.
