I’m Mike Quinn, a Chicago-based furniture builder specializing in custom record cabinets, dining tables, and mid-century modern design. Every piece is crafted by hand with attention to detail and a deep love for the process.
MQ Woodworking started in my garage and has grown into a full-service studio focused on timeless pieces built to last. Whether you’re a vinyl collector or looking for a custom heirloom, I’d love to build something just for you.
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.
Every piece is made to order using premium hardwoods, designed to match your style and space.
All designs are inspired by local architecture and named after Chicago streets and neighborhoods.
Our record cabinets are built for collectors—sized perfectly for LPs, receivers, and turntables.
We hand select only the best walnut, cherry, maple, and white oak.
From hand‑cut joinery to hand‑rubbed oil finishes, every detail is deliberate.
Mid‑century lines meet modern function—heirloom pieces built to last.
You tell us your collection size, style, and street‑name preference.
We send you a mock‑up and transparent pricing.
Crafted in our Lakeview workshop over 8-10 weeks.
White‑glove hand delivery in Chicago, plus styling tips.
We believe your music deserves respect, just like your furniture. Every MQ piece is a promise of durability, sustainability, and design integrity. We build small-batch, locally, ensuring your cabinet is as unique as your vinyl collection.
Let’s design your custom cabinet—named after the street that moves you.
