Where Extend shelving can be useful
Freestanding open shelving can help bring storage into a workplace without relying on fitted cabinetry. Consider the Extend collection for areas where people need to see or reach stored items, such as shared work zones or other business spaces. Its open format makes it easier to keep frequently used materials visible, while the metal construction provides a defined, practical look.
Think about what you plan to store before selecting a unit. These models are listed without hanging folder frames, so they are not a direct choice for hanging-file storage. They also have no acoustic feature; if reducing sound is part of the room plan, look at that requirement separately rather than assuming open shelving will provide it.
How to choose between the two models
Start with the finish
The listed grey and black models share the main collection details: freestanding construction, metal material, a 220 cm width and a cylinder lock. Choose the finish that works with nearby furniture and the visual direction of the room. For a multi-room project, decide whether a consistent finish or a deliberate contrast better supports the overall layout.
Check fit and intended use
Measure the intended position and compare it with the listed width of 220 cm. Also check the product listing for any additional dimensions or fit information you need before planning placement. Allow for practical access around the shelving and consider how people will use the shelves as part of their day-to-day work.
Both models include a cylinder lock, but review the individual product information to confirm that its arrangement meets your intended use. The collection facts do not specify shelf capacity or other detailed configurations, so avoid choosing based on assumptions about load limits or adjustable components.
Plan the next step
Before selecting a finish, make a short list of the items the shelving needs to accommodate, where it will stand and whether open access is appropriate. Confirm the room measurements and any product-specific details in the listing. This helps distinguish a suitable open-shelf solution from storage designed for files, acoustic needs or other requirements.
