Shelf unit VidaXL 860403 in concrete grey, wood-based material, 89x24x101.5 cm

VidaXL shelf unit 860403 in concrete grey is a freestanding storage furniture piece made from wood-based material. Measuring 89 x 24 x 101.5 cm, this vertical shelving unit offers several open shelves across its height for organised storage of books, decorative objects and everyday household accessories. Its concrete grey finish provides a neutral, contemporary look that fits living rooms, home offices and hallways where a compact footprint with vertical storage is required.

Advantages

The shelf unit combines a space-saving vertical design with multiple open storage surfaces, allowing easy access and clear visibility of stored items. Made from durable wood-based material with a concrete grey finish, it balances affordability and a modern aesthetic. The freestanding format means no wall mounting is required, which simplifies placement and relocation within different rooms.

Suitable for

• Storing books and magazines in a living room or home office
• Displaying decorative items such as vases, picture frames and small plants
• Organising hallway essentials like keys, mail and small baskets
• Providing vertical storage in compact apartments or rooms with limited floor area

When it may not be suitable

This shelf unit may not be suitable for very heavy items or loads that exceed typical usage for wood-based shelving; it is designed primarily for everyday household objects, books and decorations rather than industrial or workshop storage. It may also be less appropriate for spaces that require fully enclosed or lockable storage, since the shelves are open.

Key specifications

• Material: wood-based material with surface finish in concrete grey
• Overall dimensions: 89 x 24 x 101.5 cm (width x depth x height)
• Configuration: freestanding vertical shelving with multiple open shelves
• Intended use: indoor residential storage for books, decor and small items
• Style: modern, neutral concrete-grey appearance

How to use

Place the shelf unit on a flat, level floor surface. Arrange items on the open shelves by weight, placing heavier objects on lower shelves to ensure stability. Use baskets or boxes on shelves to keep smaller items organised and to protect the shelf surface. If the shelf will be placed in a household with children or pets, consider positioning it against a wall and using retail-supplied anti-tip fittings or furniture straps for added stability.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm available floor space and measure the installation location to ensure the unit fits comfortably.
• Assess the typical weight and type of items you plan to store to verify suitability for wood-based shelving.
• Decide if open shelving meets your needs for privacy and protection from dust versus closed storage options.
• Consider assembling the unit in the room where it will be used to avoid maneuvering through narrow doorways.

Usage recommendations

For balanced use, place heavier objects on lower shelves and lighter decorative items higher. Regularly check fastenings and shelf surfaces for wear, and use coasters or felt pads under objects to minimise surface abrasion.
