Bookcase VidaXL 849141, oak shelves, metal frame, 400×350×1705 mm

The VidaXL 849141 bookcase is a tall and slim shelving unit featuring oak-coloured wooden shelves supported by a powder-coated metal frame. With external dimensions of 400×350×1705 mm, the unit provides vertical storage for books, decorative items and small electronic devices while occupying a modest floor footprint. Its combination of wood-effect shelving and a minimalist metal structure fits contemporary and industrial interior styles and is intended for use in living rooms, home offices or reception areas where organized display and compact storage are required.

Advantages

This bookcase offers space-efficient vertical storage thanks to its 1705 mm height and narrow 400 mm width. The oak-coloured shelves provide a warm, neutral appearance that pairs with a variety of décor schemes, while the sturdy metal frame ensures overall stability and support for multiple shelves. The open design makes contents visible and easy to access, and the compact depth of 350 mm allows placement against walls or in narrow areas without protruding excessively into the room.

Suitable for

• Storing and displaying books and magazines in living rooms or home offices
• Showing decorative objects, framed photos or plants on multiple levels
• Organizing small electronics, chargers and accessories on accessible shelves
• Using in narrow spaces such as hallways, alcoves or beside desks

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is not designed for very heavy industrial loads or for storing extremely large, heavy items; its strength corresponds to typical household shelving use. It is a tall, open unit and therefore may not be the best choice if enclosed or lockable storage is required for valuable items or to protect contents from dust and pets.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 400 mm (W) × 350 mm (D) × 1705 mm (H)
• Shelf material: oak-coloured wooden shelves
• Frame material: powder-coated metal
• Design: open shelving, vertical-tall configuration
• Recommended location: indoor use (living room, home office, reception)

How to use

Position the bookcase on a flat, level floor against a wall for added stability. Place heavier items on lower shelves and distribute weight evenly across each shelf to avoid overloading a single section. Use the open shelves to arrange books vertically or horizontally and to intersperse decorative items for visual balance. For small electronics, leave appropriate space for ventilation and cable routing to nearby power outlets if needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended installation site to ensure the 400×350×1705 mm footprint and height fit the space and any doorways for delivery.
• Decide whether open shelving meets your needs for dust protection and security.
• Consider weight distribution and typical load per shelf to match your storage requirements.

Usage recommendations

To extend service life and maintain appearance, avoid placing extremely heavy items on upper shelves, protect wooden surfaces from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, and periodically check fastenings and the frame for stability. If children or pets are present, secure the unit to the wall following safety guidelines for tall furniture.
