Crafting Chicago’s Finest Record Cabinets

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.

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.

Custom Built

Every piece is made to order using premium hardwoods, designed to match your style and space.

Chicago Roots

All designs are inspired by local architecture and named after Chicago streets and neighborhoods.

Vinyl-Ready

Our record cabinets are built for collectors—sized perfectly for LPs, receivers, and turntables.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Premium Hardwoods

We hand select only the best walnut, cherry, maple, and white oak.

Handcrafted Quality

From hand‑cut joinery to hand‑rubbed oil finishes, every detail is deliberate.

Build & Finish

Mid‑century lines meet modern function—heirloom pieces built to last.
