Bookcase VidaXL 849109, black metal frame, wooden shelves, 400×350×1075 mm

VidaXL 849109 is a compact bookcase with a black metal frame and wooden shelves, designed to provide upright storage in a small footprint. With overall dimensions of 400 × 350 × 1075 mm (W × D × H), this narrow shelving unit fits into living rooms, home offices, hallways or other spaces where vertical storage is preferred. The combination of a powder-coated metal frame and multiple wooden shelves creates a contemporary industrial look while ensuring stable support for books, magazines and decorative items.

Advantages

The sturdy metal frame offers reliable structural support and resistance to everyday use, while the wooden shelves deliver a warm appearance and firm surface for items of different sizes. Its narrow footprint and tall profile make it suitable for rooms with limited floor space without sacrificing storage capacity. The neutral black frame and natural wood tones integrate easily with a range of interior styles.

Suitable for

• Storing books, magazines and paperbacks in a living room or study
• Displaying small decorative objects, picture frames and plants
• Using in hallways or narrow spaces where floor area is limited
• Supplementing office storage for reference materials or binders

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is compact and designed for lighter to medium loads; it is not intended as heavy-duty industrial shelving. Very large, heavy items or dense stacks of heavy hardcover books may exceed the recommended load per shelf. If you need enclosed storage or lockable compartments, this open-shelf design will not provide those features.

• Shelf material: wooden shelves (engineered wood or wood-based material)
• Number of shelves: multiple open shelves (see product images for exact layout)
• Finish: black frame with natural wood-colour shelving
• Orientation: upright, freestanding

How to use

Place the bookcase on a level floor and position it against a wall for added stability. Assemble according to the included instructions, tightening fasteners securely but without over-torquing. Distribute weight evenly across shelves, placing heavier items on lower shelves and lighter items above. For extra safety on hard floors or in homes with children, use wall anchors or anti-tip hardware if provided or recommended in the assembly guide.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended location to ensure the unit's 400 × 350 × 1075 mm dimensions will fit, including clearance for assembly and use.
• Check the shelf load capacity if you plan to store many heavy books or equipment.
• Decide if open shelving suits your storage needs or if you require doors or enclosed compartments.
• Confirm the shelf material and finish match your interior and cleaning preferences.

Usage recommendations

To prolong service life, avoid placing excessively heavy objects on individual shelves and clean the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Position heavier items on lower shelves to maintain stability and use wall-fixing anchors when installing the unit in high-traffic areas or homes with small children.
