A growing collection needs a home that's easy to reach and nice to look at. The Milk Crate Alternative, our very first design, is exactly that: a solid wood way to keep your 12-inch records out and organized in any room.

It started the whole thing, and it still does the job better than the plastic crate it's named after.

Golden Oak

Beautiful Craftsmanship!

The finish and the polish of the product is second to none. The joints are immaculate and reflect the highest wood working craftsmanship.

Beautiful record storage. I caught this on a really good sale. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

Golden Oak

The best record storage crate available

These is crate #8 and #9 for me. I’ve been ordering these crates from WWW for nearly a decade now. They look fantastic, are very well built - something I trust holding the significant weight of a full crate if vinyl, and in my case they have made all of my crates a custom depth to fit my needs. I’m sure as soon as I fill these two, I’ll be ordering more.

Took longer than expected but the item was perfect and great quality.

Dark Walnut

Awesome milk crate walnut wooded LP holder

This is the highest quality crate you are going to find to hold your record collection

Dark Walnut

High quality workmanship

Love it but waiting for the other pieces. Only one piece arrived even though the packing sli/ invoice listed two items. The unit with the a-z dividers. Very nice. I will be ordering more before long so watch for. I was so sorry to hear of your loss in the fire. Terrible. All the best. You’l. Come roaring back. With such excellent products how can you not. Oh BTW thanks for the “vinyl” sticker . Love it. It’s on the to right front corner.

Golden Oak

Extended crate

I purchased 2 of the crates as a gift for a vinyl collector and he was very pleased with them. They hold a lot of albums and look really nice. Both of us would recommend them as they are very well made.

Golden Oak

Milk crate alternative

Excellent quality and craftsmanship! All legit wood and incredibly durable. I have a modest vinyl collection, yet I ran out of space on the shelf of an inherited antique furniture converted into a turntable stand. I bought the golden oak which is a neutral light honey-latte hue with matte finish. Blends in with anything. I might consider the walnut for darker furniture collection areas of the house.

Dark Walnut

Beautiful simple design

We love the look and feel of our crate - it’s simple yet elegant and feels very sturdy

Wonderful storage solution! It looks great and has a premium feel to it. I ended up purchasing a second one and pairing it with the dividers after my collection grew too large for just one.

High quality item. I love it and would highly recommend.

Amazing quality, looks so good

I love these crates. They look great. They are very sturdy. And they hold a lot of records. I own more than I want to admit.

Dark Walnut

So much better than my old storage rack! Beautiful wood, good size, space for tons of records and keeps them in good shape. Love it!

Love the crates! We ordered two. Better than I had hoped for. The color was spot on !!!

These crates look great! I had high hopes that these would match my needs for fitting on my bookshelf while looking great, and they sure do! Very satisfied with my order, and they came packed very professionally with fun writing on the box: “Hella fragile!” 😂

This beauty exceeds anything I was considering buying from traditional online vendors! Exceptional quality. It’s a forever piece that is worthy of my newly inherited vinyl collection. I can’t wait to unpack my treasures and put them in their new home. It shipped in a well packed box with a note of gratitude. Can’t beat that.

Fantastic!

Love it! Great craftsmanship and matches the other decour.

The Milk Crate Alternative: 12" Vinyl Record Storage

It’s perfect! Exactly what I was looking for and they were very helpful about questions pre-purchase! 10/10 would recommend.

This is the 5th crate I’ve ordered, as my collection continues to expand. They are very attractive, well made and protect and display my records nicely.

Beautiful piece, arrived faster than expected. Pictured here with another esty purchase, they go very well together.

Excellent! Super high quality!

We have gone from plastic milk crates to this handmade with love box! It’s stylish and holds almost 1.5 crates worth of vinyl! Totally fancied up our living room!

I am absolutely obsessed w this record holder! It looks amazing! As an aside, I appreciated the witty packaging.

Highly recommended!

High quality, good value, great customer service, I bought as a gift and he loves it!

This was a gift and my friend loved it. Great quality! Very happy with the purchase.

Seriously the coolest way to store a ton of vinyls. The crates exceeded our expectations. Beautiful work. THANK YOU! We’ll be coming back for a 3rd crate soon enough!
