Easy assembly with preparation
With full preparation including measuring and orientation of all wooden parts before the build … the assembly was straight forwards. You only need a tape measure and two screwdrivers and a small mallet to assemble the unit. Definitely would recommend two people for assembly

So versatile
Looks great and such a flexible design. Easy to put together but takes a long time due to the number of parts/elements but worth the work
Sples, 55 - 64, Bishop Auckland
well designed and made
Very sturdy bookcase, well designed and made. We've used it as a room divide for teenage bedroom and it looks great. All the different shelf spaces can display an assortment of things ie plants, books lego ornaments!

Great
It's looking great and it's a very solid build. It's VERY heavy so be prepared. The instructions are very confusing and the elements are marked on the thin side, so plan ahead carefully.

Disappointing Quality
Pretty disappointed with this shelving unit. This was a nightmare to build - unclear instructions and needed 2 of us with a lot of space to lay out all the parts as you build them. Once up it doesn’t feel very sturdy, a few joints don’t butt up and tighten to close the gaps and the sliding feature to extend or split the unit at a right angle isn’t easy to move. Also already seems to be bowing a little under the weight of records. Looks like fairly cheap and bland office furniture, was expecting a lot better and higher quality from Habitat.

Flexible shelving
Very pleased with these Habitat shelves. They look great and have lots of space. Took a couple of hours to put together and needed 3 of us to lift off the floor. It's quite tricky to get every piece identified and orientated correctly, so worth double checking as you go, especially where the holes for the joining pins are.

Cheap and practicable
It’s good for the price

Just what I was looking for
I bought this a month ago and have had so many compliments on it already. It is perfect for the space I have and is unique. It seems well made however it was quite tricky to put it altogether.

Shelving unit
It looks nice, but it's a bit overengineered for what it is, and it's extremely heavy. The instructions don't seem to suggest it can be used as a room divider as the description of it implies. Disappointed to see it now costs £80 less than what I paid for it.

Good quality item, clear instructions, I was able to assemble most on my own, it is sturdy and stylish.

Hi Solly,
Thanks for your query about the Extendable Wide Shelving Unit - Oak.
No it's not suitable for wall mounting. The way the parts fix together is configured with the intention that it rests flat on the floor, not with the weight hanging from points along the back of the unit.
Thanks for using Q&A.

Hi Flat Pack Fairy,
Thanks for your query about the Extendable Wide Shelving Unit - White.
The two sections of the unit are fixed together with a dowel on the top of one shelf that fits into a long slot on the underside of the shelves. This allows it to be moved out or in up to a maximum distance. You can pull it fully out, as far as the slot allows and turn it to make an L-shape. When fully out, it could be turned to a different angle but, with all the shelves being right angled, you'll likely get the edges sticking out in odd places.
Thanks for using Q&A.
