Office Bookcases & Shelving
Office bookcases and open shelving for books, files and folders - storage with nothing to hide and no doors to bang.
Open shelving trades concealment for convenience: everything visible, everything reachable, nothing to unlock or swing open. For reference files, manuals, catalogues and the office library, office bookcases keep material in circulation in a way a closed cupboard never quite manages.
Adjustable shelves handle everything from paperbacks to lever-arch files, heights run from desk-side to ceiling-adjacent, and finishes match our desking ranges so the shelving looks native. Cheaper than doored storage too - it turns out doors are half the price of a cupboard.
Frequently asked questions
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.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Nothing here is made to order, so the lead times are the standard ones.
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.
Does it come assembled?
Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.
What warranty does it come with?
Guarantees across this category run to 10 years, depending on the product and the part, and the figure is on every product page. Structure, mechanism, electrics, and fabric and foam are often covered for different lengths of time. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.
Can I see it in 3D?
One of the 3 products in this category have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.
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 [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
