The Habitat Marston Oak Veneer Bookcase gives you generous display storage in a walnut-stained finish that works in pretty much any room. There are four fixed shelves where you can show off statement pieces, favourite reads, or everyday essentials you want to reach quickly. Two sliding door cupboards hide away clutter you need but don't want on display. The oak veneer with wood effect finish stands up to daily use while keeping that warm, natural look. It's tall and spacious enough to hold plenty without taking over your floor space.
The sliding doors reduce space requirements because they don't swing out, that's handy in tighter rooms or hallways. Each shelf holds up to 30kg so you can load them with books, storage boxes, or decorative bits. The unit's over 60cm tall, so wall fixings are included to keep it stable and secure, especially important if you've got children around. Self-assembly with two people recommended, all the fixings and instructions come with it. Covered by a one-year guarantee for peace of mind.
Line up scented bottles, photo frames and a jewellery box or two in a bedroom. Marston offers fabulous flexibility. We've lots of items that will help you make your new bookshelf the star of the show. See our vases, frames and table lamps to get your designer juices flowing.

Beautiful bookshelf
Both colour and style are quite impressive. It was also very easy to assemble, and instructions were clear. A little minus goes to the doors of the closed storage, who are no fully align. But they still open and close so nothing to worry about.

Well made and nice looking bookcase
Well made and nice looking bookcase. Needs to be assembled, ideally by 2 people. Instructions are in a large booklet and is fairly easy to follow.

Easy to put together and great finish.
Easy to put together and great finish. Not the most sturdy but perfect for the price

Fab bookcase
Lovely bookcase. Someone else put it together for me (on his own) and he didn't have any complaints. Looks lovely in my living room and I like that there is a compartment at the bottom for hiding things.

Great bookcase.
Great bookcase. Previous reviews had mentioned gaps in the veneer but mine was fine. Perhaps a production issue that has been solved. Very happy with it.
VF, 25 - 34, London
Poor quality for the price
I ignored the other reviews about this problem, and wish I hadn't. There are gaps in the veneer that are noticeable and cheap looking. For a bookcase priced this high, this is unacceptable. It weighs about 40kg so good luck moving the box around while you wait for them to come collect it!
Sal, 35 - 44, Glasgow
Marathon shelf unit
It looks great and was straightforward to put together. However, there are gaps in the veneer at the sides where the shelves meet the frame and it does need to be fastened to the wall. The gaps in the veneer are not too noticeable depending on it’s position… mine is in an alcove so it’s fine. The price is the decider here.

Pleased with this!
The wood of this unit is lovely but I do agree it is wobbly- so best to have it fitted to the wall. Would recommend however- it's basically a wonderful dupe for the west elm bookcase and half the price!
