INDYGO Shelving Unit 66 cm, green with Wotan oak

INDYGO Shelving Unit 66 cm – open shelves with a closed base, green front

A shelving unit whose upper part is open and whose base is closed by a door. Three shelves above take books and decor, while behind the lower door sits one more shelf for whatever should not be on display: paperwork, cables, boxes. That arrangement works better than a fully open unit, because the clutter hides and the shelves stay shelves.

A green lower door gives the unit a coloured base, and the arrangement with books above reads as a considered whole.

Who it suits

For a living room beside the TV unit: three open shelves add height while the closed base absorbs the small stuff. For a study or working corner, holding books and folders. For a child's room, where books belong in view and toys and boxes do not.

What you will like

• Three open shelves for books, frames and decor
• A closed compartment below with a shelf, keeping documents and boxes out of sight
• 66 cm wide and 37 cm deep, so it slots into a narrow spot against a wall
• 199.5 cm tall: the whole wall works, not just the lower metre and a half
• A metal handle in matt gold on the lower door
• Laminated board that resists scratches

Sizes and what fits

In numbers that is 66 cm along the wall, 199.5 cm high and 37 cm deep. Each open shelf holds roughly twenty books in a row, or a looser arrangement of frames and objects. Behind the lower door go A4 folders, a document box, or equipment you would rather not see.

Materials and build

Laminated chipboard with edges banded all round and a surface that takes damp cleaning. The handle is metal in matt gold. Made by GALA MEBLE in Poland since 1980. Warranty 12 months.

Open shelving or a closed base? A fully open unit demands that the shelves always look tidy, because all of it is visible. INDYGO R1K closes off the lower third, and that is where everything unsightly goes. Books and decor stay in view, which is what the unit was bought for.

Can it stand next to the tall cabinet of the collection? Yes, R1D shares the same 66 cm width, the same depth and the same height. Side by side the two read as one arrangement: one open, one closed.

Assembly and delivery

The unit arrives flat-packed with instructions and fittings. The body is tall and narrow, so fixing it to the wall is essential, and assembly is convenient to order with the delivery: the fitter builds it, secures it and takes the packaging away. Delivery and assembly are quoted by address and paid separately.

We deliver across Israel. To Ashdod and Ashkelon the unit arrives together with assembly, to Jerusalem and Modiin on the delivery schedule.
