Bookcases

Frequently asked questions

• What types of bookcases and storage solutions do you offer?

  Our bookcases collection features a diverse range of storage solutions to suit every need and space. We offer traditional tall bookcases with multiple shelves, compact storage cabinets with drawers, industrial-style shelving units, multifunctional bookshelf storage cabinets with both shelves and cupboards, and specialised media storage units perfect for DVDs and CDs. Our collection also includes cube organiser shelves and modern designs that combine open shelving with enclosed storage, providing versatile options for any room in your home.

• What materials are your bookcases made from?

  Our bookcases are crafted from high-quality materials designed to handle the weight of heavy books with confidence. We use solid hardwood, acacia wood, and pinewood for our premium ranges, as well as durable engineered wood for more budget-friendly options. You'll also find industrial-style pieces featuring metal frameworks combined with wood shelving. Each shelf is properly supported and tested to ensure they can safely hold substantial weight whilst maintaining their structural integrity over time.

• What sizes and dimensions are available for your bookcases?

  We offer bookcases in a wide range of sizes to fit any space, from compact units perfect for smaller rooms to grand statement pieces. Our collection includes dimensions such as 50x31x137.5 cm for standard-sized rooms, 46x29x100 cm for more compact spaces, and larger units like 85x35x170 cm and 80x30x180 cm for those requiring substantial storage. Whether you need a narrow unit to fit in a tight corner or a wide bookcase to serve as a room divider, we have options to suit your specific spatial requirements.

• Can your bookcases be used for purposes other than storing books?

  Absolutely! Our bookcases are incredibly versatile storage solutions. Many customers use them to display decorative items, store games and puzzles, organise office supplies, or showcase collections. Our media storage units are perfect for DVDs, CDs, and gaming accessories. The cube organiser shelves work brilliantly for children's toys, whilst the units with drawers and cupboards can house everything from linens to craft supplies. The sturdy construction makes them suitable for storing heavier items beyond just books.

• What finishes and colours are available in your bookcase collection?

  Our bookcase collection offers a variety of finishes to complement any décor style. You'll find natural wood options in brown oak, smoked oak, and sonoma oak that highlight the beautiful grain patterns. We also offer classic finishes in black and white, perfect for modern or minimalist interiors. For those seeking something unique, we have rustic brown industrial-style pieces and solid wood pine units with natural finishes. Each finish is carefully selected to provide both aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability.

• How do I know if a bookcase will fit in my intended space?

  Measuring your space before purchasing is essential, especially if you're placing the bookcase next to a window or in a corner. We provide detailed dimensions for each piece, including height, width, and depth measurements. Remember to account for ceiling height, door openings, and any obstacles like radiators or light switches. Consider the visual weight of the piece in your room - taller, darker units can make a space feel smaller, whilst lighter finishes and open shelving can help maintain an airy feel in compact areas.

• Are your bookcases suitable for heavy book collections?

  Yes, our bookcases are specifically designed and tested to handle substantial weight. Each shelf is properly supported and engineered to hold heavy books without sagging or compromising structural integrity. Our solid wood options, including those made from hardwood, acacia, and pinewood, are particularly robust and can confidently support extensive book collections. The engineered wood options are also tested for weight capacity, making them suitable for most residential book storage needs whilst offering excellent value for money.

• Do you offer assembly services or detailed instructions for your bookcases?

  Most of our bookcases come with clear, step-by-step assembly instructions designed to make the process as straightforward as possible. The instructions include detailed diagrams and all necessary hardware is typically included. Many of our simpler designs can be assembled by one person, whilst larger or more complex units may benefit from having a second person to assist. If you have specific questions about assembly or need additional support, our customer service team is always available to provide guidance and ensure you achieve the best results with your new bookcase.
