## Description

Desk high office bookcase built to sit flush against the end of a 600mm deep desk, turning spare floor into open storage at 73cm worktop height. One height-adjustable shelf (20 kg) and a fixed base shelf give two storage levels within a 75 kg unit capacity, in 13 finishes to match Impulse desking, with 25mm thick panels and a 10 year guarantee.

#### Storage that works at desk height

Full-height bookcases block light and loom over open plan offices; this desk high office bookcase keeps everything within arm's reach of a seated person and finishes flush with the desktop. Butted against the end of a 600mm deep desk, its top becomes useful surface, somewhere for the printer, the plants or a visitor's coffee, while the open shelves below keep the files you actually use daily at knee height rather than across the room. In an 80cm wide, 60cm deep footprint, it earns its floor space twice over.

#### Impulse construction underneath

Like the rest of the value-leading Impulse contract storage range, the build is more serious than the price suggests. Panels are 25mm thick under a heat resistant melamine finish, wrapped in 2mm ABS protective edging, with 18mm side walls drawn tight by steel-to-steel fixings that never work loose the way wood screws in chipboard do. A solid back board keeps the carcass square, and adjustable feet let it sit level against the desk even when the floor disagrees. Designed by specialists, quality assured, and guaranteed for 10 years.

#### Thirteen finishes, one coherent office

The finish list mirrors Impulse desking exactly: beech, grey oak, maple, oak, walnut, white and black, plus two-tone versions pairing each wood with white. That means the bookcase can match the desk it stands beside, or pick out the office's accent colour, and a later refit can add more units that still belong together.

#### Right for your business

The Impulse Desk High Bookcase suits open plan offices that want storage without walls of cupboard, workstation clusters needing files within reach, and anyone extending an Impulse desk with a matching return of shelving. One clear price, full specifications on the page, and no sales calls required.

## Questions and answers

#### What are the dimensions?

It is 80cm wide, 60cm deep and 73cm high.

#### What finishes does it come in?

There are thirteen: Beech, Grey Oak, Maple, Oak, Walnut, White, Black, Beech & White, Grey Oak & White, Maple & White, and 3 more. Pick the one you want before it goes in the basket.

#### What load will it take?

It is rated to 75kg.

#### Does it come with a lock and keys?

No, this one does not lock.

#### How many shelves does it have?

Two. They are adjustable, so the spacing can be set for lever arch files, box files or whatever else has to live on them.

#### What materials is it made from?

MFC. MFC is melamine-faced chipboard, the standard contract desktop: it wipes clean and does not mark the way a veneer does. The panel thickness is 25mm.

#### How heavy is it?

It weighs 36.9kg. One person can manage it, though an extra pair of hands makes the unboxing quicker.

#### Can I see it in 3D?

Yes. The viewer on this page spins the actual model rather than a photograph, so you can look at the back of it, and switching a colour or a size on the page switches the model with it. Worth doing before you settle on a finish.

#### What sort of office is it meant for?

We file it under Small, Impulse, Oak and Walnut, which is the honest summary of where it earns its keep. If yours is none of those, the specification above will tell you more than the category will.

#### Does it come assembled?

It arrives flat-packed as standard, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, installation is £49.95 an item at checkout, and the crew build it and put it where it is going.

#### How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is free and usually lands inside a week. If you are in a hurry, express is £8.95 an item and gets it to you within two working days when you order before 5pm. The date it will arrive by is on the page and again at checkout before you pay, counted in working days with weekends and bank holidays already taken out.

#### What warranty does it come with?

Ten years, from the manufacturer. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

#### How much weight will a shelf take?

These are rated at 75kg per shelf, which is comfortably more than a full run of lever arch files. Loading is still worth thinking about: put the heavy things low, and where a unit is tall, fix it to the wall.

#### Do the shelves move?

On the models here, yes, so the spacing can be set for lever arch files, box files or whatever else has to go on them. Fixed shelving looks the same in a photograph and is a nuisance the first time you buy a different box file.

#### What height should I buy?

Desk height if it is going against a desk run or under a window, because anything taller blocks light and sightlines. Full height against a wall, where the top shelves hold the things nobody needs weekly. A bookcase people cannot reach the top of is storage for dust.

#### Can I match it to the desks?

Yes. These come in the same MFC finishes as our desking, so a room can be ordered in one wood or one white rather than assembled from whatever happened to be available.

#### Do you offer installation?

Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £49.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.

#### Can you quote for a whole office?

Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email hi@deskwell.co.uk with a rough list or a floor plan.

#### What kind of storage do I actually need?

Work from what is being stored. Pedestals for personal bits at the desk. Filing cabinets for suspension files. Cupboards and bookcases for box files and folders. Lockers for staff belongings. Safes for anything whose loss would ruin more than a day. 57 products here, from £6.

#### How much of it locks?

42 of the 57 products here lock, and the page says so plainly on each one. If you are storing anything with personal data on it, the lock is not optional: it is part of keeping to your own data obligations.

#### Steel or wood effect?

Steel is tougher, takes more weight, and is the right answer for a stockroom, a workshop or anywhere things get knocked. MFC in a wood or white finish matches desking and looks like furniture rather than equipment, which matters in a room clients see. Both are here.

#### Does storage arrive built?

A good deal of it does: 33 of the products here need no assembly at all, which is common for steel units. The rest arrive flat-packed, and installation is available on most of them if you would rather not.

#### Can I change my mind after ordering?

On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. 28 of the 57 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.

#### Do I have to be a business to buy from you?

Yes. Checkout asks you to confirm that you are buying for your business, trade or profession rather than as a consumer, and it asks for a company name. That is why prices are shown without VAT and why the terms read the way they do. Sole traders and home-based businesses count, and so does an employer buying a desk for somebody working from home.

#### Do your prices include VAT?

No. Every price on the site is shown excluding VAT, because most of our customers reclaim it. VAT is added at checkout and the total you actually pay is on screen before you confirm anything. A VAT invoice follows once the order is complete. Our VAT number is GB 525 3667 81.

#### How do I pay?

Payment is due in full when you order, and the methods available to you are shown at checkout. If you pay by bank transfer, your order is not accepted and the lead time does not start until cleared funds reach our account, so it is worth sending it the same day.

#### Can I pay on account, or on 30 day terms?

No. We take payment before the order goes to the supplier, so there is no credit account to open and no application to fill in. It keeps our prices where they are, and it means nothing is waiting on a credit check while you are waiting for furniture.

#### Can I put a purchase order number on the order?

Yes. There is a Purchase Order Number box at checkout, and what you type there carries through to the paperwork so your accounts team can match it up.

#### Do I need an account to order?

No, you can check out as a guest. You will still be able to see the order afterwards: go to Track Order, give the order number and the delivery postcode, and you get the same order page an account holder sees, with the same buttons for returns, cancellations and damage reports. Making an account simply saves typing the address again next time.

#### How much is delivery?

Standard delivery is free on everything, whatever the size of the order. The paid options are upgrades on top of that: express, pre-assembled and installation, each priced per item and shown on the product page before you add anything to the basket. Where an option is not shown on a product, it is not available for that product.

#### Do you deliver everywhere in the UK?

We deliver across mainland UK. A number of postcodes sit outside the standard service: Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight and the Isles of Scilly. We can usually still get furniture to those places, but it has to be quoted rather than booked from the site, so ring 0208 138 0512 or email hi@deskwell.co.uk before you order.

#### Will the delivery crew bring it inside?

Standard delivery is to the door, flat-packed. If you want it carried in and built, choose pre-assembled delivery or installation on the product page. Whichever you pick, the crew ring roughly 30 to 60 minutes before they arrive, so you are not waiting by the window all morning.

#### Can I change my delivery date?

Yes, but not on the day. Our courier partner Furdeco plan their routes in advance, so the three hour slot cannot be moved once the van is out. To rebook for another day, ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and pick a time that suits you. Larger deliveries and installations get a call from our logistics team first anyway, so the day is agreed with you rather than sprung on you.

#### Can I tell the driver how to find us?

Yes, and it is worth doing. There is a box on the delivery step at checkout, 500 characters, for anything the crew needs to know: where a lorry can park, which floor you are on and whether there is a lift, loading bay hours, a gate code, a one-way system the satnav has never heard of, and who to ask for. It travels with the order rather than sitting in a note at our end. It cannot be edited once the order is placed, so if something changes, ring 0208 138 0512 with your order number.

#### What happens if I miss the delivery?

The courier team will contact you to arrange another date, or you can ring Furdeco on 0121 285 5255 with your tracking number and rebook it yourself. Worth avoiding if you can: a failed delivery costs from £10 an item, plus storage if the order has to go back to a warehouse. A gate code in the delivery instructions box costs nothing.

#### Can you take the old furniture away?

Yes, we run a removal and recycling service, quoted per job. It has to be booked before delivery day, because the crew can only take away what they have been booked and equipped to take. Tell us what is going when you order and the swap happens in one visit rather than two.

#### Can I return something?

Tell us within 14 days of receiving it and we will look at it. Go to your order page, either signed in or through Track Order with the order number and delivery postcode, and raise the return there. The goods have to be unused and back in their original boxes, or packed well enough to survive the journey. If you send them back yourself there is no handling charge at all and carriage is at your cost. If you would rather we collected, we may charge up to £35 an item, and we tell you the figure before we collect. Anything you paid for on top, like express delivery or installation, is not refunded, because those services were already carried out.

#### Can I cancel an order?

Ask as soon as you can, from your order page. Before anything is dispatched we can often cancel it, though where costs have already been incurred with the supplier we may deduct those before refunding the balance. Once something has been dispatched it becomes a return rather than a cancellation. Made-to-order items cannot be cancelled at all once we have acknowledged them.

#### Something arrived damaged. What do I do?

Tell the delivery crew at the door. They note it down and photograph it, and that record is what settles the claim with the carrier later. If you turn the delivery away because of the damage, the crew take the goods with them and we arrange a replacement. If you only spot it after they have gone, open your order, press Report a problem and send photographs, up to six on one report. Do it within five days: carriers stop entertaining a claim once a delivery is more than a few days old. A damage report is counted separately from a return, so a breakage does not use up your 14 days.

#### How do I track my order?

A confirmation email lands as soon as you order, and the moment it is on its way you get a dispatch email with a full tracking link. You can also go to Track Order at any time with your order number and the delivery postcode. Your order number starts with DW.

#### Is everything on the site actually in stock?

Anything out of stock is hidden from the listings, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it. The exception is made-to-order items, which are not held in stock by design: they are built for you after you order, and their pages say so.

#### How do I get hold of a person?

Ring 0208 138 0512, email hi@deskwell.co.uk, or use the live chat on the site. If it is about an existing order, have the order number to hand and it will be quicker.

#### Who are Deskwell?
