Extra Tall Narrow Bookshelf, 7 Tier Freestanding Bookcase, Diamond Side Panels, Rustic Brown Wood on Black Metal, Small Spaces, 13.4 in / 34 cm Wide

This is a freestanding seven tier bookshelf that stands 200 cm (78.7 in) tall on a square footprint of just 34 by 34 cm (13.4 by 13.4 in). Open shelves in a rustic brown woodgrain sit on a slim metal frame, with a diamond pattern baffle running down both sides.

The reason to buy it is the math of the thing. It asks for 34 cm (13.4 in) of floor and gives you seven full shelves of height in return. The gap beside a doorway, the strip between a cabinet and a corner, the dead space at the end of a hallway: all of it turns into real display and storage without crowding the room.

Where a 34 cm (13.4 in) Footprint Fits

A square base this small opens up the parts of a room that normally stay empty. Because the unit is as deep as it is wide, it sits flat against a wall line instead of jutting into the walkway.

• The narrow strip between a tall cabinet and the corner of the room
• Either side of a doorway, a window or a fireplace, as a matched pair
• The end of a hallway or a landing where a wide bookcase would block the path
• Beside a desk in a home office, within arm's reach of the chair
• A bedroom or studio apartment corner that only has a book's width to give

What the Seven Shelves Hold

Each shelf carries up to 18 kg (40 lb), so this is a working bookshelf rather than a decorative one. The diamond pattern baffle down both sides keeps items from sliding off sideways, and the rear baffle panel stops anything dropping off the back.

• Hardbacks, paperbacks and reference books, stacked or standing
• Vinyl records, box files and document folders
• Trailing plants on the upper tiers and heavier pots down low
• Framed photographs, ceramics and small sculpture
• Baskets and storage boxes sized to the 34 cm (13.4 in) opening

Assembly and Wall Anchoring

Everything needed arrives in the box: tools, printed instructions and numbered parts, so the build runs in order rather than by guesswork. Adjustable foot pads let you level the unit on a floor that is not quite true, which matters on something 200 cm (78.7 in) tall. A wall anti tip kit is included and we recommend using it, especially in a home with children or pets.

Care and Cleaning

Wipe the shelves with a soft dry cloth, or a barely damp one for marks, and dry them straight away. Keep harsh cleaners and standing water off the panels and the rustic brown woodgrain stays even. Wipe the metal frame with the same dry cloth to keep the black looking sharp.

Styling the Piece

Aurenne Decor chose a rustic brown woodgrain on a black frame because it reads warm against paint, wood paneling and stone alike. Leave the top two tiers lighter than the lower ones and the whole column looks taller than it already is.
