Bookcase VidaXL 856813, oak finish, wood frame and shelves, 400×300×1980 mm

The VidaXL bookcase (model 856813) with an oak-colour finish is a tall, narrow shelving unit designed to provide vertical storage while occupying a small floor area. Built with a wooden frame and wooden shelves, it measures 400×300×1980 mm and fits rooms where height is used to maximise storage capacity. The neutral oak appearance suits a variety of interior styles and supports storage of books, decorative objects and media.

Advantages

This oak-finish bookcase combines a sturdy wooden frame with multiple wooden shelves to deliver reliable vertical storage without a large footprint. Its 1980 mm height creates ample shelf space for books and taller items, while the 400 mm width and 300 mm depth make it suitable for narrow spaces such as hallways, small living rooms or compact home offices. The wood construction offers a stable surface for heavier objects compared with lightweight materials.

Suitable for

• Storing books and magazines in living rooms or studies
• Displaying decorative items, framed photos and small plants
• Organising media such as DVDs, records or game consoles
• Adding vertical storage to hallways, entryways or compact rooms

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is not intended for outdoor use or environments with high humidity, as prolonged exposure to moisture can affect wooden surfaces. It may not be the best option for very heavy industrial loads or for use as a step ladder; shelves should be loaded according to typical domestic contents and evenly distributed to avoid overloading.

Key specifications

• Material: wooden frame and wooden shelves
• Finish: oak-colour surface
• Overall dimensions: 400 mm (W) × 300 mm (D) × 1980 mm (H)
• Configuration: multiple fixed horizontal shelves (number depends on model assembly)
• Recommended location: indoor use, dry rooms

How to use

Place the bookcase on a level, stable floor and assemble according to the included instructions, ensuring all fixings are tightened. Arrange heavier items on lower shelves and distribute weight evenly across the shelves to maintain stability. Use the unit against a wall and, if provided or recommended in the assembly guide, secure it with anti-tip brackets for added safety, especially in homes with children or pets.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the intended location to confirm the 400×300×1980 mm footprint fits and allows for door and walkway clearance
• Verify indoor room conditions; avoid placing near heat sources or in damp areas
• Consider the expected load per shelf and whether fixed shelf spacing meets storage needs for tall items
• Check whether anti-tip anchoring is available or required for your installation

Usage recommendations

For stable, long-term use, distribute weight with heavier objects on lower shelves, avoid overloading single shelves, and secure the unit to the wall if children, pets or seismic activity are a concern. Regularly clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the oak-colour finish.
