LOTV VINYL L Sideboard
The LOTV Vinyl L Record Sideboard is a low record cabinet for collectors who want their LPs, audio equipment and living-room furniture to work as one system. The open vinyl section with vertical dividers keeps records easy to browse, while the closed cabinet section gives space for equipment, cables or LP accessories that do not need to stay in view.
Cable holes are placed in the left and central sections, which makes the sideboard suitable for amplifiers, streamers or a turntable setup. The cabinet is made from FSC-certified natural wood, without MDF or chipboard, and is delivered fully assembled. With its slim legs and widths from 140 to 200 cm, it is a practical piece of LP furniture for anyone who wants to organize vinyl without losing the room to the collection.

Crafted entirely from solid wood
How many records fit in the LOTV VINYL L sideboard?
Depending on the selected width, the stated capacity is approximately 80–130 LPs. Gatefold jackets, outer sleeves and spare browsing room can reduce the practical total.
Which widths are available for this LP sideboard?
The product is listed in widths of 140, 150, 160, 175 and 200 cm, with a depth of about 40 cm and a height of 57 cm. Confirm the capacity shown for the exact variant at checkout, because the record count changes with width.
How is the LOTV L organized for vinyl and media equipment?
The sideboard combines an open record-storage section with dividers and a closed cabinet section. This keeps LPs accessible while equipment, cables or LP accessories can be kept behind a door.
Does the sideboard include cable openings?
Yes. Cable holes are provided in the left and central sections. They allow audio or media cables to pass through the cabinet, although equipment still needs adequate ventilation and rear clearance.
What materials are used in the LOTV VINYL L?
Pastform describes the sideboard as natural FSC-certified wood made without MDF or chipboard. Several finishes are offered, and free samples can be requested before selecting the colour.
Is assembly required?
No. The LOTV L is delivered fully assembled, so it can be used once positioned. Check the chosen width against entrances, stairwells and lifts before delivery.
Can the width or internal arrangement be made to measure?
Customisation can be discussed for Pastform furniture. Send the room dimensions, collection size and audio-equipment measurements so AllVinyl can confirm which changes are technically possible.
How long does delivery take, and what warranty applies?
The stated lead time is eight to twelve weeks. Delivery includes indoor carrying in the listed European countries, and the sideboard has a two-year warranty; visible transport damage should be reported immediately.
How do I choose the right record cabinet for the size of my collection?
Count your LPs, then choose a record cabinet with enough capacity for the records you own now and some unused space for future purchases. Measure the available width, height and depth, including room for doors, drawers, cables and ventilation. Also decide whether the cabinet must support a turntable, amplifier or television; the AllVinyl collection can be filtered by capacity, dimensions and space for audio equipment.
How many LPs fit in a record cabinet, and why can the stated capacity vary?
Capacity figures are approximate because gatefold albums, box sets, outer sleeves and dividers occupy more space than standard single sleeves. A useful estimate is around 10–12 conventionally sleeved LPs per 3 cm, but records should not be packed so tightly that they are difficult to remove. AllVinyl models range from around 60 LPs per Kiyo compartment to 260 in the listed MOEBE configuration, 350 in the LOIA Digger and more than 400 in Plyphonic Model A.
How much extra record storage should I allow for a growing vinyl collection?
A sensible planning margin is approximately 20–30% above your current collection. Someone with 200 LPs should therefore consider record storage for roughly 240–260 records rather than buying a cabinet that is full on arrival. For collections that grow unpredictably, modular systems such as Kiyo and MOEBE can be rearranged or expanded instead of being replaced.
Can I place my turntable on top of the record cabinet?
Yes, provided the top is sufficiently large, level, rigid and rated for the weight of the turntable. Compare the turntable footprint with the usable surface and leave room for the dust cover, power lead and audio cables. Turntable manufacturer Pro-Ject advises placing a turntable on a level surface; AllVinyl models explicitly intended for turntable use include GRAM, PLAY, Curtis and LOIA Le Meuble Digger.
Which record cabinets also have space for an amplifier and other audio equipment?
Look for compartments with sufficient internal width, depth, height and load capacity—not merely a shelf that looks large enough in a photograph. GRAM has a middle shelf intended for an amplifier, LOIA Le Meuble Digger has open equipment shelves rated up to 14 kg each, and KRON has a central area with cable openings for an amplifier or streamer. MOEBE provides adjustable open shelving, while the Plyphonic models integrate amplification and other audio equipment into the furniture itself.
Do the cabinets include cable management and sufficient ventilation for audio equipment?
This differs by model. LOIA Le Meuble Digger has an open rear and adjustable cable grommets, MOEBE has open sides and backs, and KRON includes cable openings in its central equipment section. LOTV Vinyl Slide also has cable openings, but equipment placed behind closed doors must still have the clearance required by its manufacturer. Denon, for example, recommends around 15 cm above and 5 cm at either side of its AV receivers and warns against blocking their upper vents.
What is the difference between open record storage, closed cabinets and pull-out record drawers?
Open vinyl storage makes the collection easy to see and browse and generally provides better airflow around audio equipment, although records remain more exposed to dust and light. Closed cabinets create a quieter visual arrangement and reduce everyday dust exposure, but access and equipment ventilation require more attention. Front-browsing compartments and pull-out storage make it easier to flip through covers; GRAM and Curtis are designed around browsing access, while LOTV Vinyl Slide combines vertical LP storage with sliding-door compartments.
How should record cabinets store LPs vertically or horizontally, and which record cabinets do it properly?
LPs should be stored vertically, on edge, with enough lateral support to prevent them from leaning. Long-term horizontal stacks place unnecessary weight on the lower records and should not be the main storage method. Both the Canadian Conservation Institute and NEDCC recommend vertical storage for disc media. AllVinyl designs that explicitly provide supported vertical or angled storage include Curtis, the Sinfonic Audio cabinet, Kiyo’s 33 × 33 × 33 cm compartments, LOTV Vinyl Slide and the adjustable MOEBE system.
Are the record cabinets modular, expandable or available in custom dimensions and finishes?
Some are. Kiyo can be reconfigured and extended with additional modules, while MOEBE can grow in both width and height. Display LUNA also uses a modular construction. For made-to-order LP furniture, Sinfonic Audio offers a selectable number of compartments and alternative woods, Curtis can be adapted through custom work, and Plyphonic models are produced to order in selected finishes.
Do the cabinets arrive assembled, and what should I check before delivery?
Delivery and assembly depend on the maker. Kiyo arrives flat-packed and uses a tool-free magnetic connection system; MOEBE requires self-assembly; Display LUNA includes instructions and the necessary tools. Pastform models such as PLAY, LOTV, KRON and GRAM arrive assembled and include indoor delivery in the listed countries, while LOIA Le Meuble Digger is delivered ready-made on a pallet. Before ordering, measure doorways, corridors, stairs, lifts and tight corners, and check whether delivery is to the front door, inside the home or on a pallet.
