It serves as an ideal solution for showcasing a featured album cover while securely housing a small collection of up to 12 LPs, making it a perfect choice for small living spaces or dedicated listening corners.

FAQs
Can this hold double LP gatefold covers?
Yes, the rear compartment is designed to accommodate standard 12-inch records, including most gatefold sleeves.
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes, the FLATE shelf comes with a complete mounting kit for easy installation.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The shelf is designed to hold up to 12 standard 12-inch vinyl records safely.
Does it work with 7-inch singles?
The shelf is specifically designed for 12-inch vinyl; 7-inch records will likely sit too low in the compartment and may not display correctly.
Can I paint the steel frame to match my wall?
While the powder-coated finish is durable, you can use a spray paint suitable for metal if you wish to change the color, though we recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
The shelf feels loose after installation.
Ensure that the mounting screws are tightened fully into wall anchors or directly into a wooden stud. If using drywall anchors, verify they are the correct size for the weight of a full vinyl load.
Vinyl sleeves are scratching when being inserted.
Check the edges of the powder-coated steel frame for any debris or construction burrs. If found, use a fine-grit sandpaper to gently smooth the specific edge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable powder-coated steel construction
- Allows for both storage and front-facing display
- Compact footprint ideal for small spaces

Cons
- Limited to a capacity of 12 records

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the included mounting kit. Ensure you are mounting the unit into a secure wall surface, such as a stud or using appropriate anchors for drywall.
- Placement: Measure your wall space to ensure you have enough clearance for the 32.5 cm frame height and width.
- Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the unit is perfectly horizontal before marking your screw holes.
- Mounting: Use the provided hardware to secure the steel rack firmly against the wall.
- Maintenance: Periodically dust the powder-coated steel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the matte black finish over time. If the surface becomes scuffed, a gentle touch-up with a mild non-abrasive cleaner is usually sufficient.
