Built for books, files and archive boxes. This 1-bay solid pine bookshelf is 924mm wide and 300mm deep, in seven heights from 650mm to 2.7m. It comes with 2 to 6 shelves, depending on the height, and 20 dowel rods. Every bay has 2 to 6 shelves (6 on 2.1m and taller) and side dowel rods that stop books and files from falling over the ends, and every size comes with a free cross brace and all fittings. It's made in South Africa from heat-treated pine, ships flat-packed, and is delivered anywhere in the country.

Use it for a home library, a study, an office archive, a school or church library, or a shop wall. Everything is adjustable, so you can set the shelf spacing for paperbacks, hardcovers, lever-arch files or archive boxes.

Why customers choose it

• More shelves per bay: 6 shelves per bay on 2.1m and taller, one more than our standard shelving units, so books and files get closer spacing and more storage.
• Side dowel rods included: 20 per bay. They slot into the uprights and keep books and files standing.
• Seven heights: from a 650mm low unit under a window to a 2.7m floor-to-ceiling library or archive wall.
• Adjustable: pre-drilled positions every 13cm, so you set every shelf exactly where you want it.
• Freestanding or wall-mounted: a free cross brace and a free fastening kit come with every size.

The price of this bookshelf is exactly the same as buying these parts one by one, so you never pay extra for the convenience of a set.

Freestanding or fixed to the wall

Don't want holes in your wall? Fit the free cross brace across the back and the bookshelf stands steady on its own. Prefer it fixed? Use the free fastening kit to secure it to a brick or concrete wall. A full bookshelf is heavy, so we recommend fixing taller units to the wall.

Add extra components

Every part is sold separately, so you can build the bookshelf around your collection. Choose 300mm deep to match.

• Extra shelves: Standard shelf, R214 at 300mm deep, or a smoother Premium shelf, R255.
• Extra dowel rods: dowel sticks, R164 for a pack of 20, enough for one bay.
• Display shelves: an angled display shelf from R205, to show covers face-out.
• Drawers: a pine box shelf from R314 for stationery and small items.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dowel rods for?
They slot into the holes in the uprights at the ends of a shelf and act as bookends, so books and files don't slide off the sides.

Can I move the shelves later?
Yes. Every upright is pre-drilled every 13cm, so you can change the spacing at any time.

Can I paint or stain it?
Yes. The pine comes natural and untreated, so it takes paint, stain, wax or oil well.
