Plan the shelving around its contents
Start by identifying what the unit will hold and how often people need to access it. Open shelving works well for items that benefit from being visible and within reach, such as shared office materials or frequently consulted resources. For a team area, consider whether the shelves will hold communal supplies or organize materials by project or department.
Think about the room as well as the contents. Measure the available floor area and check nearby furniture, walkways and the intended placement before choosing a unit. The two-shelf option is 100 cm wide and 107 cm high, while the listed five-shelf option is 80 cm wide and 200 cm high. These measurements can help you assess fit, but confirm the dimensions shown on the specific listing before making a selection.
How to choose between the models
Consider shelf count and overall shape
Choose a two-shelf model when a lower arrangement with fewer levels suits the room or the items being stored. A five-shelf model provides more shelf levels and is taller, so it may suit a storage plan that uses vertical space. The choice is about matching the layout to your contents and available room, rather than assuming that one configuration is right for every workplace.
Check the finish and listing details
Black, grey and white are available across the family. Select a color that works with your office furnishings and the look you want for the storage area. The units are described as freestanding metal shelving, so review each product listing for its specific configuration and dimensions. If you are comparing the two five-shelf listings, use their individual details to confirm which version fits your requirements; do not assume that the names alone indicate a difference in size or finish.
What to check before selecting
- Measure the floor space and the height available at the planned location.
- Estimate how many shelf levels your storage routine needs.
- Check the chosen listing for its dimensions, shelf count and available color.
- Consider whether open storage is appropriate for the items and setting.
