Shelves and Bookcases

Shelving is a useful storage solution because it’s practical for storage and can be a feature of a room. You can dress shelves with lights, vases, a television, boxes, plants and books to make it a focal point. It is important to measure the space accurately for the shelving. Normally you are provided with three measurements; height, width, and depth, displayed as h80 x w85 x d30cm. Shelves and bookcases come in a range of finishes; white, wood, glass, chrome and plastic. At the low end of your budget wooden shelves normally are wood effect which means it has a decorative surface finish, covering material such as plywood, chipboard or MDF. You pay a lot more for real wood but with the fantastic discounts you can afford the real thing. Retailers stocking shelves and bookcases include John Lewis, Tesco, Debenhams and Marks and Spencer.
