Lovely record cabinet! We had been looking for something to hold records for some time and this really fits the bill. I love the area for the turn table to sit in. You can definitely use the other side of the record cabinet for record storage as well. My only complaint would be that the side opposite the record storage does not have any holes for cords to come out the back. this is where we would like to hold our receiver, but without a spot for cords to come out the back it will not work.
