The analysis
24 cm of depth is why this one is here. A paperback is about 13 cm deep and a hardback about 16; a shelf deeper than 24 is storing air in front of your books and taking floor for it.
It is 60 cm wide and 134.2 cm tall across five tiers, and three of them move: 3 cm up or down, giving shelf gaps between 22.1 and 27.9 cm. That is the difference between a shelf that fits your books and one your books have to fit.
The load is 10 kg per shelf, 50 kg over the unit, in 1.5 cm particleboard. That is a real shelf of books, not an ornament stand. Particleboard has one weakness and it is damp: this is a living room or bedroom piece, not a bathroom or garage one.
The anti-tip kit is in the box. At 134 cm tall on a 24 cm base, that is not an accessory. Use it.
In favour
- 24 cm deep: it holds books without eating the room
- 10 kg per shelf, 50 kg in total
- Three of the five shelves adjust over 3 cm
- Anti-tip kit in the box
Against
- Particleboard, so it does not belong in a damp room
- Needs assembling with tools
- A back panel that slots in rather than a rigid one
Best for: A living room wall where a full-depth bookcase would swallow the room.
