VidaXL 860297 living room bookcase

The VidaXL 860297 living room bookcase combines compact dimensions with a simple, modern appearance suitable for a variety of interiors. Finished in grey oak, the unit has a wooden frame and wooden shelves that provide stable support for books, display items and small storage boxes. With an overall width of 660 mm, depth of 310 mm and height of 800 mm, this shelving unit fits narrow wall spaces while offering multiple storage levels.

Advantages

The bookcase offers a space-efficient footprint that works well in smaller rooms or corridors. Its wood-based construction provides consistent shelf rigidity and a uniform finish in grey oak that coordinates with neutral and contemporary decor. The multiple shelves create easy visual organisation of books and decorative objects, and the modest height makes it easy to access items without a step stool.

Suitable for

• Living rooms where floor space is limited
• Home offices for storing books, folders and small office supplies
• Hallways and corridors as a compact storage and display solution
• Bedrooms for bedside storage or small collections

When it may not be suitable

This bookcase is designed for lightweight to moderate loads; it is not intended for very heavy items such as large safes or dense stacks of heavy hardcover volumes. The compact depth and width mean it may not accommodate oversized books or deep storage boxes.

How to use

Place the bookcase on a flat, level surface and assemble according to the supplied instructions, ensuring all fasteners are tightened. Use the shelves to arrange books upright or stacked, and combine with small decorative boxes or baskets to keep loose items organised. For safety, position heavier items on the lower shelves and lighter items higher up. If provided, fix the unit to a wall to prevent tipping when used in family homes or high-traffic areas.

What to consider before purchase

• Available floor or wall space: ensure the 660 mm × 310 mm footprint and 800 mm height fit the intended location
• Load requirements: assess typical item weights to verify suitability for wood-based shelving
• Style compatibility: confirm grey oak finish matches existing décor
• Assembly: check whether the product requires self-assembly and allocate time and tools

Usage recommendations

Arrange heavier books and objects on lower shelves, distribute weight evenly across shelves, and use wall-fixing hardware if children or pets are present to reduce tipping risk.
