Sasha Striped Bookcase - Red

This is a tall, open bookcase in red with vertical stripes running down its back panel, so every shelf has a striped backdrop for whatever you stand on it. It measures 66cm long, 32cm wide and 152cm tall, with four open compartments stacked one above the other. It is made from 60% MDF and 40% pine, and it weighs 11.75KG. A moulded cornice finishes the top, a scalloped edge runs along the base, and it stands on round feet. Those small details give it the look of traditional painted furniture.

At 152cm tall it works as a full standing bookcase rather than a low unit, and the 32cm side keeps it slim from the wall outward, so it fits a living room, bedroom, study or hallway where floor space matters. The open compartments take paperbacks, larger art books, framed prints, ceramics and small plants, and the stripes behind them keep the shelves looking dressed even when they are only half full. It suits anyone who wants storage with colour and character rather than plain white boards, and the red sits happily beside natural wood, cream walls and brass.

The finish is a water based paint, and the round feet are red pine, as the maker lists them. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth, which keeps dust off the shelves and the painted stripes. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can read through the steps in advance. For styling, let the pattern do the work: keep a few shelves loosely filled, mix books lying flat with books standing upright, and leave gaps between pieces so the stripes show through. The styling props shown are not included.
