Crafting Chicago’s Finest Record Cabinets
Handmade in Lakeview. Inspired by our streets. Built for your music.
From Vinyl Lover to Woodworker
I grew up flipping through crates at record stores and dreaming of a piece of furniture worthy of my collection. After studying design and learning traditional woodworking, I opened my Lakeview garage workshop. Today, MQ Woodworking joins my passion for vinyl with the craftsmanship I’ve honed—naming each piece after a Chicago street and handcrafting it from start to finish.
Rooted in Chicago, Woven into Design
Every furniture piece carries the spirit of its namesake street—Diversey’s energy, Belmont’s balance, Fullerton’s bold lines. Chicago isn’t just our address; it’s our inspiration.
