The Shelves. This is our classic, versatile, repeatable flat-pack shelving system that works in home, office or retail spaces. Choose the size that best suits your space – or the scale of your book collection! The sizes start with the "2 UpRight", the number corresponding to the number of vertical pieces in the unit.

The Shelves are designed to pack down when you need to move them, no tools or fasteners required – just a simple, super-strong, slotted design. Designed by Laura in 2009 when her growing book library needed a home that could be easily packed down and moved between rentals. Needless to say, the Shelves are optimised to house as many novels, DVDs and large art books as possible.

Planning a new space or renovation? Have a play with the material options available here, and we will build the model you select and ship it to you quick smart.

The first set of The Shelves was designed by <a href="/pages/about-us">Laura Woodward</a> in our previous workshop in Kensington, Melbourne, and prototyped while moving house. It worked out rather nicely.

Customisation
Can you change height, length or shelf spacing?

Yes. We customise The Shelves all the time: narrower or shorter units, different shelf spacing, extra shelves. Message Jem or use the quote form for bespoke changes.

Can you add cable holes or cutouts?

Yes, as custom work. Message Jem with your layout and we will quote cable holes, cutouts, and similar details for production.

Assembly & installation
Is it flat-pack DIY?

Yes. The Shelves arrive flat-pack with labelled parts and instructions. Most customers assemble at home without special tools.

Do I need to wall-mount tall units?

We recommend wall fixing on shelving over 680 mm high. Wall brackets are included where listed on the product page.

Materials & finishes
Hoop Pine vs Blackbutt?

Hoop Pine is lighter and warmer. Blackbutt is harder and stands up to knocks. Not sure? We post samples free — Message Jem.

Raw vs sealed finish?

Some Shelves options ship raw to keep cost down. We recommend sealing for longevity. Each product page lists what is included.

Timber, colour and care
Will my shelves change colour in sunlight?

Timber mellows with UV exposure — that is normal. Direct sun speeds it up. See UV and colour change for detail.

Delivery & lead times
How long until dispatch?

Lead time is on the product page and in your order confirmation. Standard Shelves are typically a few working days from payment confirmation.

Free shipping and pick-up?

Free shipping Australia-wide on website orders. Pick-up Mon–Thu at Castlemaine — use code PICKUP for 10% off collection orders.
