Our striking looking Ambrosia maple storage modules, tops and accessories provide attractive storage for music/movie collections as well as elegant and flexible modular furniture for myriad other uses. Every module is handcrafted with pride from old-growth, kiln-dried Ambrosia maple with clear satin finish to match our air-dried maple platforms, speaker stands and SAMSON racks.

Maple LP, Artisan and Heirloom storage modules are designed so they can be arranged to suit your decor. Modules can be rearranged easily and new shelves added when needed. Our interlocking, solid-wood construction allows these modules to stack freestanding up to six high. Taller stacks may need to have their top shelf anchored to a wall. We offer three large storage module styles. These modules support all normal vinyl sizes and will hold +/- 150 LPs. They hold books up to 13" tall and will hold about 20 hardcovers averaging 350 pages each.

• MAPLE LP MODULES are our least-expensive pre-finished storage shelf. These modules are available with an optional slide-in birch overlay to accommodate smaller-than-LP-size vinyl.

• MAPLE ARTISAN LP MODULES are designed to enhance interior decor. These LP modules include a flush inset base inlay in beautifully contrasting Blond, Cherry, Walnut or Black finishes. Also available with matching flush top inlay.

• MAPLE HEIRLOOM 2 MODULES are our premium shelves for storage. These modules feature 3/4" solid parquet bottoms that support any record size and offer myriad other functional storage possibilities. Offered with optional solid parquet top.

• MAPLE HEIRLOOM XL MODULES A taller version of our Heirloom 2 shelves, XL modules are sized for items up to 17" tall and also offered with an optional solid parquet top.

We offer Media Shelf Modules in two identical height versions:

• 2-TIER MEDIA SHELF MODULES are for 7" records and all other standard optical media including Blu-Rays, DVDs, SACDs, PlayStation, xBox, and PC game discs. Each module holds +/- 220 45s, 100 BluRays, or 82 DVDs.

• 3-TIER MEDIA SHELF MODULES for CDs each hold 177 standard discs.

We offer Pass-Thru Modules with 9" & 13" internal heights for lots of uses:

• 9" PASS-THRU MODULES are 10½" tall, 4" shorter than LP shelves. They can be used with Tops and Bases to create 24"- 38" tall Side Tables or intermixed with full-height modules for more variations. Within stacks of shelves, these modules can create a handy place to keep accessories and are large enough to hold most standard-size components.

• 13" PASS-THRU MODULES are 14½" tall, the same height as our LP modules. They can be used to create taller Side Tables and nicely accommodate a stacks of old and treasured electronics. These modules are high enough to accommodate our 2" or 4" Vibration Control Kits for a phono pre-amp or integrated amp when mounting a turntable on top of LP shelves.

We offer add-on Top and Base modules that can transform stacks of LPs and CDs into attractive and functional furniture. Use these options to upgrade any stack of shelves into a small table, handsome shelving, or rolling cart:

• FITTED TOPS only increase height by 3/4" and are significantly more rigid when mounting a turntable or other component on top of stacked shelves.

• DOUBLE WIDE FITTED TOPS interlock two stacks of shelves seamlessly with an attractive and functional furniture grade, solid wood top surface.

• PEDESTAL TOPS offer a slightly larger surface area and add about 3¼" height to any stack. Pair with a Toe-Kick Base to create handsome varying height Side Tables and free standing shelves for storage and display.

• SOLID PARQUET TOPS retrofit our legacy LP and Pass-Thru modules with a handsome, 3/4" solid top with Monticello parquet.

• TOE-KICK BASES are for stationary stacks. They interlock with any LP or Pass-Thru module and back-to-back Media Shelves. They raise the lowest shelf about 2½" off the floor.

• CASTER BASES are rated to carry up to 660 lbs, 50% more than the full weight of six loaded record shelves. Easy and convenient to move on either carpeted or bare floors, this base raises the bottom shelf by 4¼".

• MEDIA SHELF BASES raise the lowest shelf about 1½" off the floor. The bevelled front of the base extends forward slightly to improve stability for taller stacks mounted on plush carpet.

We offer optional accessories intended to enhance the convenience and functionality of our modular furniture:

• MAPLE STOPS support records in partially filled shelves and fit all of our LP modules.

• SHELF INSERTS adapt our LP shelves to store CDs, Blu-Rays or other types of display and storage.

• OVERLAYS are a ready-to-use, solid bottom plate that can be easily added to standard LP modules. Available with walnut stain, satin black lacquer, or unfinished.

• INLAYS are flush tops and bottoms for our Elegaza and Artisan LP modules. They are smaller than Overlays and do not fit standard LP modules.

• Our ANTI-STATIC BRUSH is an easy, effective way to remove static electricity from your records before you play them.

• Use SILCLEAR to treat all of the connections on your turntable and your favorite records will sound even better.

Storage For All Music & Movie Formats

Our Amish-crafted modular furniture was carefully thought out to provide attractive, interlocking, solid wood modules that can store all types of music and movies. Paired with our rolling caster bases, solid tops and other accessories, our elegant modular furniture allows collectors to organize and personalize their collections with convenience unmatched by any other means of storage.

Maryland Pride Of Craftsmanship

Handcrafted by the same Amish family that's been making our rock-solid SAMSON racks for fifteen years. Our shelving uses top grade solid 3/4" oak, Ambrosia maple, or walnut. Crist and Uri meticulously and precisely fabricate the components using no staples, cardboard, plastic, or MDF. The remarkable quality of wood and workmanship is obvious at first glance. The lovely grain and solid quality of our hand-selected, furniture grade wood is far more attractive than any mass-produced-overseas furniture you'll find.

Easy To Assemble, Easy To Use

Assembly is simple, requiring only a screwdriver. Stored CDs and LPs have all their spines clearly visible. No unstacking and restacking of boxes, no sifting from crate to crate. Your complete collection is readily accessible and easy to keep organized so you can focus on listening to great music.

Storage Capacity & Versatility

We offer modules that can store all types of music and movies: 7", 10" and 12" vinyl, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, all game and music disc media, cassettes, 8-tracks, open reel tapes, VHS, Laser Discs and Edison Cylinders.

• LP modules hold 150 albums.

• Media Shelf modules hold +/- 177 CDs, 220 7" records, 100 Blu-rays, or 82 DVDs in standard cases.

• Media Shelf modules can interlock on top of LP modules or, when placed back-to-back, between LP modules in a stack.

• Extra modules can be added and interlocked later.

• Our solid-wood modules are so sturdy and rigid that they stack freestanding six high. Taller stacks may need to be anchored to a wall at the top.

The Absolute Sound

August 2014

It wasn’t too long ago that I figured my vinyl-buying days were over. By high-end standards my collection was a modest one, maybe 1500 or so LPs. But they were choice—carefully culled over the years, only the best discs had survived. These were stored on classic Per Madsen stackable oak record racks accumulated back in the 1980s. By the turn of the millennium my collection was neither growing nor shrinking, and Per Madsen was no longer building record racks.

However, with the premium vinyl resurgence of the last few years my collection has begun increasing once again. I’ve been playing more records than ever. And as in my long-ago college days, I’ve got batches of records sitting on the floor once more. Long story short, I never thought I’d be in the market for another LP rack system.

But riding to the rescue was Mapleshade. A stalwart of the high end, Mapleshade’s beginnings can be traced to the purist recordings of engineer Pierre Sprey, who built the Mapleshade Studio in 1986 and launched the Mapleshade label in 1990. Achieving renown for their indie audiophile recordings, Mr. Sprey and his partners also researched and developed what has turned into a full-blown catalog (68 pages and counting) and a grab bag of tweaks, cable, racks, and mods.

The racks are constructed of 3/4" finished or unfinished oak or finished Ambrosia maple, and are still hand-crafted by the same Amish family that also builds Mapleshade’s massive Samson racks. They are beautifully sawn with clean edges and immaculate corners. Even in the unfinished oak that I opted for, the smooth grain was like silk to the touch. The racks are stackable and stable up to four units high. At 27", they are wider and heavier than the Per Madsen 18" standard, and the planks are cut thicker—all the better to support the latest crop of 200-gram reissues.

Admittedly I’m no Thomas Chippendale, so the prospect of assembling anything with more than two or three parts was a little unnerving. However these Mapleshades were a snap. The materials arrived so carefully packaged that the planks and end pieces hadn’t shifted an inch within the box. Each rack is made up of two square vertical end pieces, a pair of right-angle planks, and two flat planks, all connected by eight wood screws and four tiny wood plugs. (Pre-tapped holes are aligned and neatly sunk into each rack to accept the wood plugs for righteously secure stackability.) No glue is required anywhere.

It took a mere fifteen minutes to assemble a Mapleshade rack, gather up a few dozen homeless LPs, and slide them securely into place. Aligning the edges of each jacket just as I always have, I stood back and surveyed my efforts and felt a wave of nostalgia. I recollected a time when I nearly gave up my records for a new “improved” format. But now, years later, I’m far more skeptical of such claims. As vinyl continues to be issued and reissued, LPs have never seemed more alive and relevant. Thanks to Mapleshade finding a place to store them will never be a problem again. —Neil Gader
