Studio Bours - Wood, construction and calm in the listening room
Record Cabinet - Curtis
Curtis is a record cabinet for listeners who want their collection close to the turntable, but not scattered around it.
Made from solid cherry wood, it has the weight and warmth of a piece of LP furniture built for daily use rather than display alone.
The angled record storage keeps LPs easy to browse and prevents them from sliding forward. The concealed drawer and shelf keep sleeves, brushes, cables, and other LP accessories within reach without turning the listening corner into a small electronics department.
With its low, wide proportions, Curtis works well as an LP cabinet, turntable stand, and compact vinyl storage solution in one. The solid cherry wood will develop its own tone over time, while the design stays practical: records upright, equipment stable, and the essentials close by.
A good record cabinet should make it easier to organize vinyl and easier to play it. Curtis does both.

How many LPs fit in the Curtis record cabinet?
Curtis stores approximately 100 records. Capacity will vary slightly with gatefold albums, outer sleeves and the amount of free space left for browsing.
What are the dimensions of the Curtis LP cabinet?
The cabinet measures 114 cm wide, 38 cm deep and 51 cm high. Its low proportions allow it to work as compact vinyl storage and as a surface for a turntable.
Why is the record storage angled?
The angled compartments support the LPs and make front browsing easier. They also help prevent a partly filled row from sliding forward across the open section.
Can Curtis be used as a turntable stand?
Yes. The wide top is intended to support a record player as part of a listening setup. Check the turntable footprint and leave room behind the cabinet for cables and the dust cover.
Where can sleeves, brushes and cables be stored?
Curtis includes a concealed drawer and shelf for smaller LP accessories. This keeps cleaning brushes, spare sleeves and cables close to the turntable without leaving them on the top.
What material is the cabinet made from?
Curtis is made from solid cherry wood. Cherry naturally changes tone over time, so slight colour development is part of the material rather than a painted surface defect.
Does Curtis arrive assembled, and can it be customised?
The cabinet is supplied ready-made with no assembly required. Studio Bours can also discuss custom furniture, so specific dimensions or functional changes should be requested before ordering.
What are the production time and warranty?
The stated lead time is eight to twelve weeks, or approximately 40–55 business days after order confirmation. Curtis carries a two-year warranty, and visible defects should be reported immediately after delivery.
When is a custom record cabinet worth considering?
Custom LP furniture is useful when a standard cabinet does not fit the room, the collection has unusual capacity requirements or the audio setup needs specific equipment spaces. It can also solve practical details such as skirting boards, cable routes, angled walls and a preferred browsing height.
Which measurements are needed for custom vinyl storage?
Record the available width, height and depth, including skirting boards, sockets, doors and walking space. Add the exact dimensions of the turntable, amplifier and speakers, plus rear cable clearance and ventilation. The delivery route should be measured as carefully as the final position.
How is LP capacity calculated for a made-to-measure cabinet?
Capacity is based on the number and internal width of the record compartments, then adjusted for sleeve thickness and browsing room. Sinfonic’s angled compartments, for example, hold roughly 70–90 LPs each, while a collector with many box sets or gatefolds should plan more space per record.
What kinds of custom products are included in this collection?
The collection combines finished made-to-order furniture with adaptable handmade cabinets and a custom cutting plan for a DIY build. A cutting plan supplies panel dimensions rather than wood, hardware or a completed record cabinet, so the required woodworking work is substantially different.
Can I choose the wood, colour and internal layout?
Options depend on the maker, but custom work can include alternative woods, finishes, compartment counts and equipment spaces. Curtis is made in solid cherry, while Sinfonic can discuss different woods and rear-panel finishes. Confirm every choice in writing before production.
Can a custom order be changed after production has started?
Changes become difficult once panels have been cut or a cabinet has entered production. Review dimensions, equipment clearances, finish samples and LP capacity before approving the design. Made-to-order furniture may also have different cancellation and return conditions from stocked products.
Can a custom LP cabinet include both turntable and amplifier space?
Yes, provided the design accounts for a level turntable surface, amplifier ventilation, cable routes and shelf loads. Supply the precise component models or measurements rather than using general terms such as ‘standard amplifier’.
What is the difference between a custom cutting plan and a finished cabinet?
A cutting plan tells a local timber supplier or carpenter which panels to cut; materials, fixings, finishing and assembly remain the customer’s responsibility. A finished custom record cabinet is built and delivered by the maker, usually with a longer lead time and a higher degree of design support.
