When the VinylRecordsLover record stand arrived, we immediately noticed the clean packaging, which was adapted to the size of the product. The product was well protected and arrived without scratches or dirt, which speaks for effective product protection. Unfortunately, the use of plastic film was evident in the packaging, which impairs the sustainability of the packaging. However, the contents of the packaging were convincing with a clear focus on the record stand itself, without unnecessary accessories or superfluous packaging material. The lack of an instruction manual was not a problem, as the handling of the stand is self-explanatory, which underlines the user-friendliness of the product. Overall, the first impression of the packaging and contents is positive, even if there is room for improvement with regard to the sustainability of the packaging.

The VinylRecordsLover record stand has an average rating of 4.6 stars on the Amazon platform, with customer reviews highlighting both positive and negative aspects. Many customers praise the functionality and aesthetic storage of their records. In particular, the easy removal of the records and the appealing design are positively emphasized. However, there are also critical voices that point out some shortcomings. A frequently mentioned problem is the limited capacity of the stand compared to the stated number of 75 records. Another criticism is that the product is not always optimally finished, e.g. paint defects or a lack of stability. Some customers also report problems with the evenness of the stand, which can lead to scratches on the floor. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the VinylRecordsLover record stand is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, but we were unable to confirm the defects.
Prices of up to €50 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €12 . The VinylRecordsLove record stand is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €19.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
