Living room bookcase VidaXL 3300855, metal frame, 5 shelves, 805×350×1705 mm, black

The VidaXL living room bookcase model 3300855 is a freestanding shelving unit with a durable metal frame and five open shelves finished in black. With external dimensions of 805×350×1705 mm, this tall, narrow bookcase is designed to maximise vertical storage while occupying a modest floor area. The open-shelf design provides easy access to books, decorative objects and media, and the black finish gives a neutral, contemporary appearance suitable for living rooms, home offices or hallways.

Advantages

This VidaXL bookcase offers a compact footprint combined with a tall profile to increase usable storage without overwhelming the room. The metal frame provides structural stability for everyday items, while the open shelves allow for flexible arrangement and visual accessibility. The black finish is low-key and compatible with a wide range of interior styles, and the unit is freestanding so it can be positioned against a wall or used as a room divider in open-plan spaces.

Suitable for

• Storing books, magazines and small media collections
• Displaying decorative items, plants and framed photos
• Adding vertical storage in living rooms, studies or hallways
• Organising storage boxes, baskets or office supplies

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is designed as a freestanding open-shelf unit and may not be suitable for heavy items that require closed or reinforced storage. If you need locked or dust-protected storage, a cabinet with doors would be more appropriate. The narrow design is intended to save floor space but provides less horizontal storage than wider shelving systems.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 805 mm (W) × 350 mm (D) × 1705 mm (H)
• Frame material: metal
• Number of shelves: 5 open shelves
• Finish: black
• Installation: freestanding

How to use

Place the bookcase on a flat, level surface and allow sufficient clearance from walls or other furniture for easy access. Distribute weight evenly across the five shelves, placing heavier items on lower shelves to improve stability. Use storage boxes or baskets on the shelves for smaller items and to keep the appearance organised. If required by household safety preferences, secure the unit to the wall with appropriate anchors (not included) to reduce the risk of tipping.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended location to ensure the 805×350×1705 mm dimensions fit the space
• Consider the weight and size of items you plan to store—this unit is suited for everyday books and decor rather than very heavy equipment
• Decide whether open shelving meets your needs for dust protection and visual organisation
• Check access rules for freight delivery and whether assembly assistance is needed

Usage recommendations

Arrange heavier books and items on the lower shelves and balance the load across the frame. Combine books with decorative objects and storage baskets to create a tidy, functional display that takes advantage of the vertical design.
