Frequently asked

How does it fix to the wall?

A floor & wall unit stands on flat steel foot plates, and each upright turns back to the wall at the top, where a plate is fixed with four screws. A wall mounted unit has no feet: each upright turns back to the wall at the top and the bottom. Fixings for a solid masonry wall are included.

Why is wall mounted only 2 or 3 shelves?

Taller units are too heavy to hang safely from the wall alone, so 4 and 5 shelf units stand on the floor and fix to the wall at the top.

How is an exact length priced?

Set any length to the centimetre. We cut your shelves to that size and charge the price of the next standard length up, which the designer shows as you go.

How hard is it to put together?

It is a two person job. The posts slot together one shelf at a time and each shelf is screwed on from underneath. Our step-by-step assembly guide shows every stage, and the designer gives the time for your unit.

What if my floor isn't level?

The feet are fixed plates. If your floor is not level, contact us and we will send shims to pack under the legs.

Can I see the wax finishes first?

Yes. Order timber samples before you choose, which we recommend if you are matching existing furniture.

What about delivery and the guarantee?

Every unit is made to order, with free UK mainland delivery, a 25 year manufacturing guarantee and a 2 year timber warranty.
