Bookcase VidaXL 849097, grey oak shelves, metal frame, 400×350×760 mm

The VidaXL bookcase model with grey oak shelves and a metal frame measures 400×350×760 mm and is designed as a compact storage solution for living rooms, home offices or bedrooms. Its combination of wooden shelf panels in a grey oak finish and a sturdy metal frame offers stable support for books, decorative objects and small storage boxes while occupying a small footprint. The neutral colour and simple lines suit modern and transitional interiors where space is limited.

Advantages

The metal frame provides structural stability and resists deformation under typical household loads, while the grey oak-finish shelves deliver a natural look and even surface for items. Its compact footprint allows placement in narrow alcoves, beside sofas or desks. Assembly requires basic tools and the open-shelf layout gives easy access to stored items and good visibility of contents.

Suitable for

• Holding paperbacks, hardcovers and magazines on open shelves
• Displaying small decorative objects, picture frames and plants
• Organising office supplies or small storage boxes in a home office
• Fitting into narrow spaces such as hallways, alcoves or between furniture

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is compact and intended for light to moderate loads; it is not designed to serve as a heavy-duty shelving unit for very heavy equipment or large-volume storage. The open shelving provides no enclosed protection from dust or curious pets, so it may not be ideal if fully enclosed storage is required.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 400 mm (width) × 350 mm (depth) × 760 mm (height)
• Shelf material: wooden panels with grey oak finish
• Frame material: metal
• Number of shelves: multiple open shelves (see product images for exact layout)
• Finish colour: grey oak for shelves with contrasting metal frame

How to use

Place the assembled bookcase on a level surface and distribute weight evenly across the shelves, placing heavier items on lower shelves for stability. Use the open shelves to arrange books vertically or horizontally and reserve one or two shelves for decorative objects or storage boxes. If the bookcase is positioned in a high-traffic area, consider securing it to the wall where possible to enhance tip-over resistance.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the available floor space and clearances to ensure the 400×350×760 mm footprint fits the intended location
• Consider the load requirements and whether the unit’s design and materials suit the weight of items you plan to place on it
• Decide if open shelving meets your needs for dust protection and visual concealment

Usage recommendations

For balanced loading and longer service life, place heavier books on lower shelves, avoid overloading any single shelf, and use felt pads under objects to prevent scratches on the shelf surface. If children or pets are present, attach the bookcase to a wall stud or use anti-tip hardware to improve safety.
