Bookcase VidaXL 849094, black metal frame with wooden shelves, 400×350×760 mm

The VidaXL 849094 bookcase combines a black metal frame with wooden shelves in a compact open-shelf design measuring 400×350×760 mm. This small freestanding shelving unit provides organised storage for books, magazines and decorative objects while maintaining a minimal footprint. Its mix of metal and wood materials delivers a utilitarian look suitable for contemporary and industrial-style interiors, and the open design keeps items visible and accessible.

Advantages

The black metal frame ensures structural stability and resistance to everyday wear, while the wooden shelves offer a solid, flat surface for storing books and display items. The compact footprint makes the bookcase easy to position in tight spaces such as hallways, home offices or beside a sofa. Its open construction allows quick access to stored items and contributes to a visually light appearance.

Suitable for

• Storing books and magazines in living rooms, bedrooms or home offices
• Displaying small decorative items, plants or photo frames
• Providing additional shelving in compact apartments or hallways
• Use as a small media or console shelf for routers, chargers and small electronics

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is compact and designed for light to moderate loads; it may not be suitable for very heavy or large-volume storage such as large encyclopedias, heavy tools or stacks of supply boxes. Because of its open-shelf design, it does not protect contents from dust or provide concealed storage for items that require privacy.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 400 mm (width) × 350 mm (depth) × 760 mm (height)
• Frame material: black metal
• Shelf material: wood (finished surface)
• Open-shelf configuration with multiple levels
• Compact, freestanding design suitable for tight spaces

How to use

Place the bookcase on a flat, level surface and assemble according to included instructions, ensuring all fasteners are tightened for stability. Arrange heavier items on lower shelves and lighter items on higher shelves to maintain balance. Use the shelves for books, magazines, decorative objects or small electronics, and avoid overloading any single shelf beyond its intended capacity.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure available space to confirm the 400×350×760 mm footprint fits the intended location
• Consider the weight and dimensions of items you plan to store to ensure shelf suitability
• Check floor level and placement to avoid instability on uneven surfaces
• Decide if open shelving meets your needs for dust exposure and visual storage

Usage recommendations

For optimal stability, distribute weight evenly across shelves and position heavier objects lower. Wipe wooden shelves with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals on the finish. Use felt pads under the legs if placing the unit on delicate flooring to prevent scratches.
