Description
This is a two-tier wall shelf in yellow: two flat painted shelves held apart by four turned legs in a contrasting shade, each one shaped like a short stack of rounded beads. It measures 60cm long, 17cm wide and 21.5cm tall, which gives you two levels of display along a stretch of wall without giving up any floor space. It is made from 70% MDF and 30% fir wood and weighs 3.1KG. At 17cm deep, each shelf has room for books laid flat, small boxes and little figures.
Its natural home is a child's bedroom or playroom, where it works as a small bookcase on the wall: picture books along the lower shelf, a pot of colouring pencils and a few favourite figures on top. Because it hangs rather than stands, it keeps the floor clear for play and fits above a desk or a chest of drawers. The bright yellow and those bobbly legs suit a nursery just as well, and it sits happily in a hallway for keys and post, or in a home office for anyone who likes a little colour at work.
MDF takes paint evenly and holds a smooth, flat surface, and the edges of each shelf are crisp and clean; fir wood makes up the rest of the build. The whole piece is finished in water-based paint with a soft matt look. It hangs from two small keyhole plates fixed beneath the top shelf, one at each end. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can see how it goes together before you start. For styling, give the top shelf to taller pieces, since nothing limits their height there, keep the lower shelf for books laid flat, and leave a little space either side so the shape of the legs can be seen.
