Bookshelf VidaXL model 868359 Black Oak 40 x 30 x 118 cm

The VidaXL bookshelf model 868359 in Black Oak finish is a vertical shelving unit measuring 40 x 30 x 118 cm. Designed to store books, magazines and decorative objects, this compact unit offers multiple open shelves in a slim footprint that fits narrow corners, small rooms and offices. The upright profile and evenly spaced shelves provide practical access and an ordered display while keeping the visual impact minimal thanks to its dark oak-look surface.

Advantages

This bookshelf combines a small footprint with several storage levels to maximize vertical space without occupying much floor area. The Black Oak finish gives a neutral, modern appearance that blends with different interior styles. The open-shelf design allows quick access to frequently used items and easy arrangement of books and decorative pieces. Assembly is straightforward, and the unit is suitable for placement against walls or inside alcoves where depth is limited.

Suitable for

• Living rooms and bedrooms where space is limited
• Home offices for organizing books, folders and office supplies
• Hallways and entryways as a compact display and storage solution
• Students’ rooms or shared accommodation with restricted floor area

When it may not be suitable

This bookshelf is intended for light to moderate loads such as books, magazines and small decorative items. It may not be suitable for storing very heavy items or large stacks of heavy reference books. Because the design is narrow and vertical, it is not intended as a substitute for wide, low storage cabinets or large multimedia units.

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 40 x 30 x 118 cm (width x depth x height)
• Finish: Black Oak look
• Configuration: Upright shelving unit with multiple open shelves
• Recommended use: Indoor, dry environments such as living rooms, bedrooms and offices
• Installation: Free-standing against a wall; wall anchoring recommended for tall, narrow furniture

How to use

Place the bookshelf against a stable wall on a flat surface. Assemble following the included instructions, ensuring all fittings are tightened and shelves are level. Distribute items evenly across shelves to maintain stability; place heavier items on lower shelves and lighter items higher up. For safety, use wall anchors or anti-tip fittings if the shelf is installed in a household with children or pets.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the available floor space and doorway dimensions to ensure the unit can be delivered and positioned.
• Check how much weight you plan to place on each shelf and whether the unit meets those needs.
• Decide if the Black Oak finish matches existing furniture and room decor.
• Plan for wall anchoring if the shelf will hold tall or potentially unstable loads.

Usage recommendations

For balanced storage and long-term stability, alternate books with decorative objects and avoid overloading any single shelf. Inspect fittings periodically and re-tighten fasteners if needed. If used in a high-traffic area, position the unit where it will not obstruct walkways.
