Bookcase 80cm Wide

“This 80cm bookcase is solid as a rock. My kids have climbed on the bottom shelf and it didn’t even budge. No assembly required was a massive bonus.”

Let’s talk about construction.

A real piece of furniture uses proper joinery. We use mortise and tenon joints because they do not wobble. When you buy a solid oak piece, you are buying something that stays solid for decades, even if your kids try to use it as a ladder.

It is heavy, so you might need a hand moving it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my 80cm oak bookcase?
Just use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to dust the shelves regularly. Avoid damp cloths or harsh household sprays, as they can ruin the natural finish of the timber.

How long does standard delivery take?
Standard delivery is fast, arriving at your home within 5 business days. We will send you full tracking details so you know exactly when to expect it.

Do I need to oil or wax the bookcase straight out of the box?
No, our pieces come fully finished and ready to use immediately. A light wax once a year is enough to keep the timber healthy.

What is the best way to prevent the wood from fading?
Keep the bookcase out of direct, intense sunlight and away from hot radiators. This stops the wood from drying out or changing colour over time.

Do your delivery drivers bring the heavy bookcase into my house?
With standard delivery, it is a doorstep service. If you want the drivers to carry it to your room of choice and unbox it, choose our premium white glove option.

Is an 80cm wide bookcase sturdy enough to stand on thick carpet?
Yes, the weight of the solid oak makes it incredibly stable on carpet. We always recommend using the wall-anchoring kit for safety if you have small children around.

Does this 80cm bookcase arrive flat-packed?
No, we hate flatpack furniture as much as you do. This unit arrives fully built by hand and ready for books.

Will the oak grain match my other furniture exactly?
Oak is a natural material, so every single piece has unique grain patterns. There will be small colour variations, which is proof of real timber.

How can I blend a new light oak bookcase with darker wood furniture?
Try placing some darker decorative items on the oak shelves. This bridges the gap between the different wood colours in the room.

Where is the best place to put an 80cm bookcase in a small room?
Position it against a wall near a doorway or in an alcove. This keeps the middle of the room clear and open, making the space feel larger.

How do I fix a minor scratch on my oiled oak bookcase?
Rub the scratch gently with very fine wire wool in the direction of the grain. After that, apply a tiny amount of matching wood oil to restore the finish.
