Impact Racks is a small biz that refurbishes and repurposes used newspaper boxes. They’re actually the supplier of said boxes (to publications like The New York Post, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today) so when one is ready to be retired, they swoop in and transform it into a record stand! Not only do they *look* incredibly cool, but each one sold keeps around 85 pounds of metal out of the landfill!
Promising review: “Literally the best customer service ever!! I absolutely love my box. It’s so unique and creative and perfect for my vinyl collection and stand. It’s my favorite piece of furniture. But really I cannot say enough great things about Jon and how much he cares about his products and customers. Thank you so much!! I highly recommend him and don’t think twice about purchasing from him.” —moberg135
