Forget about simply looking the part, now you can start living the 'Mad Men' lifestyle thanks to the Draper Media Console. Of course, you can opt to go down a more antique route, yet this [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondo-chair) option is just as good, with a more more affordable price tag.

Essentially, the Draper Media Console puts a [retro spin on home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosystem-3000c) while still revolving around a [modern 3-speed record turntable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victrola-century-6in1-record-player), which comes separately. Considering that hipsters thrive off of Urban Outfitters's products as well as nostalgic, throwback designs, the Draper Media Console will certainly be a hit with this particular culture.

With a wooden cabinet and sleek silver-toned front as well as frosted dust cover, the Draper Media Console is sure to win anyone over.
