Choose a format that fits your storage task
Start with the materials the shelving will hold. For a compact run of binders, the two-binder-height version has one shelf. The three-height model has two shelves, and the four-height model has three. For greater vertical capacity, the six-binder-height version has five shelves. These options make it easier to match the shelving layout to the volume of records, rather than choosing by appearance alone.
Think about access as well as capacity. Open shelves keep stored items in view and within reach, which can be useful for frequently consulted binders or shared resources. For less frequently used records, check whether open storage suits the room and your workplace’s approach to organizing documents.
Check dimensions, colors and specifications
Before selecting a model, measure the intended location and compare it with the dimensions listed for that specific unit. Collection specifications include widths from 40 to 120 cm and depths of 34, 42 or 61 cm; do not assume every size is offered in every binder-height format. Check clearances around the shelving too, including space for people to move through the area and retrieve items comfortably.
The collection is listed in a range of colors, including beige, black, green, grey, blue, red, silver and white. Review the available color and material information for the model you are considering. Melamine is specified for the six-binder-height shelving unit. The collection’s listed attributes also include acoustic options, a cylinder lock, PEFC certification, Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification and circularity; confirm which, if any, apply to your chosen model in its product details.
Plan the layout before leasing
Consider the room as well as the unit
For a single workstation, a shorter format may keep essential binders close at hand. In a shared office or records area, compare the higher-capacity versions and consider how multiple units could be arranged. Freestanding shelving offers flexibility in placement, but the selected dimensions should still suit the intended floor plan.
What to check next
Use the model’s dimensions and product information to confirm fit, shelf count, color and any additional specifications that matter to your workplace. Catalogue, dimensions, and colors and materials PDFs are available to support that review. Myntwork offers VARIO M8 shelving on a monthly lease, so you can consider the collection as part of a workplace furnishing plan without assuming a particular price or delivery schedule.
