Bookcase VidaXL 860279, grey oak finish, wood frame and shelves, 340×310×800 mm

VidaXL 860279 is a compact bookcase with a grey oak finish, featuring a wood frame and wooden shelves. With external dimensions of 340×310×800 mm, this small shelving unit is designed to store books, decorative items and small everyday objects while fitting into limited spaces such as narrow corners, hallways or beside a sofa. The neutral grey oak appearance suits a range of interior styles, and the freestanding construction allows flexible placement without wall mounting.

Advantages

The wooden frame and shelves provide a stable structure for lightweight to medium-weight items, and the grey oak finish offers a neutral look that integrates with modern and classic decors. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for small rooms and apartments where floor space is limited. The simple, open-shelf design enables quick access to books and display items and reduces visual clutter compared with closed cupboards.

Suitable for

• Storing and displaying books, magazines and paperbacks
• Organising small decorative objects, photo frames and plants
• Extra storage in living rooms, hallways, bedrooms or home offices
• Fitting into narrow spaces, corners or beside seating areas

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is intended for compact storage and display of lightweight to medium-weight items. It is not designed for very heavy loads, industrial use or as a substitute for large library shelving. If you need to store very heavy books, large electronics or stack multiple heavy objects, a more robust or wall-anchored system may be required.

Key specifications

• External dimensions: 340 mm (W) × 310 mm (D) × 800 mm (H)
• Material: wood frame and wooden shelves
• Finish: grey oak colour
• Design: freestanding open-shelf unit
• Number of shelves: multiple fixed shelves (see product images for layout)

How to use

Place the bookcase on a flat, level surface and position it where you plan to access books or display items. Arrange heavier items on lower shelves and lighter objects higher up to maintain stability. Use the open shelves to group similar items together—books on one shelf, decorative objects on another—to keep the unit organised. If the floor is uneven, use small shims under the base to prevent wobble. For added safety in homes with small children or pets, consider securing the unit to a wall with an anti-tip bracket (not included).

What to consider before purchase

• Check the external dimensions (340×310×800 mm) to ensure it fits the intended space.
• Confirm the expected load per shelf if you plan to store heavy items.
• Verify the colour and finish (grey oak) will match existing furniture and decor.
• Plan for placement on a level surface and consider anti-tip fixing if needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the VidaXL 860279 bookcase for everyday books, small decorative objects and lightweight storage. Distribute weight evenly, keep heavier items lower down, and avoid overloading shelves to maintain stability and prolong the unit's service life.
