Where OKA shelving can work well
Open shelving is useful when a team needs to see and reach frequently used items rather than retrieve them from a fully enclosed cabinet. In an office, it can hold shared supplies, books or reference materials; in a meeting or project area, it can keep working materials together between sessions. Use the three shelves to group items by team, task or frequency of use, and leave enough space around the unit for people to access its contents comfortably.
For areas where stored items should be secured, consider the Freestanding 3 OH model, which is described with a cylinder lock. For a more open arrangement with wood shelving and leveling feet, compare the Freestanding 3 Shelves model. The collection facts do not specify that both models share every feature, so use the individual model details to confirm what is included.
How to compare models and sizes
Start with storage needs
Decide whether open access or a lockable option matters more for the intended location. Think about what will be stored, who needs to reach it and whether the unit will be used in a shared or more private space. The collection has three shelves in both models, but the stated shelf material and lock detail distinguish them.
Measure the space
Family attributes list widths of 40 and 80 cm and a depth of 44 cm. Heights listed across the collection are 86, 127, 128 and 169 cm. Treat these as family-level options rather than assuming every size is available with every model. Measure the intended footprint and clearance, then confirm the dimensions for the exact configuration. If the unit is going beside a desk, cabinet or wall, allow room for access and check that its height suits the surrounding furniture.
Check finishes and placement
The frame is described as matte black anodized, and the family color options listed include beige, black, green, grey, blue, brown, orange, red, white and wood. The cabinet material is listed as metal, while one member description specifically notes wood shelves. Check the selected option’s finish and materials rather than assuming that every color applies to every component. Leveling feet are stated for the Freestanding 3 Shelves model; confirm the details of the other model separately.
Before choosing, verify the model name, dimensions, lock or shelf details, color and intended placement. Myntwork offers these OKA products on a monthly lease, which can be considered when furnishing a workspace without treating the collection as a single fixed configuration.
