100% Australian-made! We are proud to present the updated KittaParts - the same modular system using only local materials and updated dimensions to integrate all your favourite books and records.

KittaParts is a truly modular shelving system. This threaded timber shelving system is completely modular, adaptable and reconfigurable. Depending on the set you choose, KittaParts ships with up to four sizes of threaded timber dowels and three shelf sizes, allowing you to quickly build numerous configurations and play with what works best for your space and the objects you wish to display.

We use contemporary technology to create heirloom-quality outcomes while maintaining the benefits of flat-pack design.

How KittaParts works

1. The system. Shelves come in four sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large). Dowels come in four heights. They thread together to form any configuration you want. Add closed storage with doors and drawers. Pull it apart and reconfigure it whenever you like.

2. It grows with you. How you use your space changes. Life changes. You might reconfigure a hallway unit into a bookshelf in the living room. Leftover parts become a shelf in the kids' bedroom. Buy new parts down the track and they slot straight into the modular system. We are obsessed with constant improvement, but we strive to keep every component backwards compatible. You can order spare parts whenever you need them.

3. The maths of modularity. A small and a medium equals a large. The system always balances out and you get consistent shelf heights.

4. Custom is built in. If the shelf spacing is not quite right for your things, just let us know. We are regularly customising sets for customers: adjusting depth, custom shelf spacing, tweaking until it works for you and whatever you need to put on a shelf.

What makes up KittaParts
Part Why it matters
Shelves (S / M / L / XL) Four widths. XL for TVs and turntables. S for tight bays. Corner shelf for 90° corners between two walls.
Dowels Four heights: 112mm, 240mm, 368mm, 496mm. Medium for novels and hardcovers. Large for records, art folios, and tall gear. Custom heights available.
Feet Adjustable base. Level the unit before you build up. Suitable for uneven floors.
Wall brackets Safety wall mounting brackets supplied with every kit.
Doors and drawers Closed storage with soft-close hardware. Customise for printer bays, kids' desks, home office setups, and audio production gear.
Caps Caps are the top of the assembly. After your last shelf goes on, add caps to hold the top shelf in place. Remove them when you want to expand and build higher.
Bookends An adjustable clamp you can place anywhere to form a flat end stop for records or books. Popular with vinyl collectors.
Which KittaParts for which room
  • Vinyl. Holds 500 to 2,500+ records depending on size. Turntable and amp on top. Ask us about cable notches. If your amp does not quite fit a shelf, we can customise dowel heights for better clearance around your gear.
  • Books. Dedicated book sets are often 290mm deep. More cost-effective depth for a large book collection. Smaller footprint, so wall mounting is even more essential for safety.
  • Living room. Most setups $1,500 to $2,000. KP-308B is a great starting point for a TV-adjacent wall. KP-412 for going around a corner. Or design your own in the Builder for 5% off.
  • Home office. Desk-height shelf, storage tower, or both. Cable cutouts and doors available. Ask us about custom depth integrated desks.
Common questions
Can I wall-mount KittaParts?

Yes. We make heavy-duty wall mounting brackets that can be integrated into any kit on request. At the end of the day, safety comes down to the fixing between the bracket and the wall. We are happy to advise on the number of brackets needed for a safe, secure setup.

Can I reuse parts I already own?

Yes, absolutely. If you are expanding your set, tell us what you have (photos or a list), or build what you already own in the KittaParts Builder and add to the configuration to work out what extra parts you need for a new shape.

Why is there a joint in long shelves?

Plywood sheets are 2,400mm long. On longer custom shelves we plan a joint at a sensible break in the module grid. There is no length limit.

Do I need to resubmit the Builder after design changes?

No. Send your changes to Jem. He will update the configuration and send you a revised checkout link.

How deep can you go?

Standard is 390mm. We build 590mm for extra storage, hi-fi, 19-inch rack equipment, and desk configurations. Configure the closest layout in the Builder and Jem will quote the depth change.

Will it tip over?

KittaParts is inherently stable at the standard 390mm depth. Wall mounting safety brackets are shipped with every kit for peace of mind and safety.

Materials

Hoop Pine is lighter in tone, warm, works in most residential settings.

Blackbutt is harder, stands up to knocks. Good for desks and high-traffic areas.

Tint options: White and Black on plywood.
