Made to last, shipped ready to use

Every piece is hand-welded from carbon steel at our workshop in Cherkasy, Ukraine — the same seven-person team, the same process, since 2011. Steel holds its shape across decades and doesn't sag or warp under the weight of a full collection the way particle board or pressed wood does. Powder-coated finish is durable enough to shrug off daily use.

Ships fully assembled. No flat-pack, no tools, no instructions. Unbox, place, load your records. Carts with wheels arrive with wheels pre-attached.

Shipping timeline: dispatches in 2–3 business days from our workshop · 10–14 business days to the EU, US, and Canada · tracked from dispatch to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this damage or warp my records?
No. Records sit perfectly upright with enough side support that they don't lean — the correct archival way to store vinyl. Metal doesn't transfer heat at room temperature, so warping risk from the stand itself is zero. The usual warping culprits are sunlight, radiators, and hot car trunks, not the storage.

Does it arrive assembled?
Yes — fully assembled and hand-welded. Straight out of the box and onto your floor or shelf. No tools required.

How long does shipping take?
We dispatch in 2–3 business days from Cherkasy, Ukraine. Transit is typically 10–14 business days to the EU, US, and Canada. All orders are tracked end-to-end.

Is this safe for a growing collection?
Yes. Steel carries the load of a full shelf (a shelf of 60 LPs weighs 25–30 pounds) without flexing over time the way wood composite does. If you outgrow this piece, see our vinyl record storage collection for higher-capacity options.

Can I request a custom size or finish?
Yes. We've built custom-size carts, double-wide display stands, and wall-mount racks on request. Contact us with your requirements — we've been doing custom metalwork since 2011.
