Strong, clean, practical and lekker organised. 🌲

This 2-Bay Book & Archiving Shelf Unit is built for anyone who needs proper storage for books, files, lever arch folders, documents, stock, décor, school supplies, office records or archive boxes — without making the space feel cold, messy or industrial.

With 2 equal bays, 12 shelves in total, and a slim 300mm depth, this unit gives you serious vertical storage while still looking warm, natural and professional.

Perfect for the home office, lounge, study, classroom, retail space, storeroom, archive room or business filing area.

No more files stacked on the floor.
No more books leaning all over the place.
No more “I’ll sort it out later” piles. 😄

Just strong pine storage that works.

🧱 What’s Included in This Build

This unit is supplied as a build-it-yourself modular component kit.

Included:

• 4 x Single Uprights — 2100mm high
• 2 x Double Uprights — 2100mm high
• 12 x Standard Single Shelves — 900mm wide x 300mm deep
• Side dowel rods for book/file support
• Aluminium cross-brace support for stability
• Required screws and fixings included

The double uprights are used in the middle where the two bays connect, giving both sides proper support while keeping the unit neat and modular.

📚 Made for Books, Filing & Archive Storage

This unit is a proper organiser.

Use it for:

• Books
• Lever arch files
• Box files
• Office records
• School books
• Retail stock
• Archive boxes
• Display items
• Décor
• Manuals
• Stationery
• Craft supplies
• Business paperwork

The 300mm depth is ideal for books, binders and files because it gives enough storage space without sticking too far into the room.

Nice and slim. Still strong. Properly useful. 👌

🔩 Adjustable Shelf Heights

The uprights are pre-drilled every 130mm, giving you flexibility to adjust shelf spacing as your needs change.

This unit comes standard with 6 shelf levels per bay, but the design allows you to add more shelves later if you want tighter spacing.

Need more room for big files? Raise a shelf.
Need more levels for books? Add extra shelves.
Want a full archive wall later? Extend with another bay.

That’s the beauty of modular storage — you’re not boxed in. 😄

🪵 Side Dowel Support System

The side dowel rods fit into the pre-drilled holes along the uprights and help stop books, folders and files from falling sideways.

It gives the unit that classic book-and-archive shelf function while keeping the design open, clean and natural.

Perfect for:

• Upright books
• Lever arch files
• Magazines
• Catalogues
• Files and folders
• Display storage

Small feature. Big difference.

💪 Strong Enough for Serious Storage

Books and files are heavy — we know.

That’s why this shelving is designed for real everyday storage, not flimsy “looks nice but can’t carry anything” nonsense.

Each shelf is designed to hold up to 100kg when evenly loaded, giving the full 2-bay setup serious storage capacity.

Strong enough for business.
Good-looking enough for home.
Flexible enough for both. 🇿🇦

🏠 Freestanding or Wall-Fastened

You can use this unit as a freestanding shelf, or fasten it to the wall for extra peace of mind.

The included aluminium cross-brace support helps keep the structure firm and stable.

For taller units, heavy books, office files, children’s rooms or busy business spaces, we always recommend fastening where possible.

Better safe, stronger, and sorted.

🧱 Modular Like LEGO

This is not a once-off shelf that becomes useless when your space changes.

This is a Garage Guys modular system — which means you can build, change, extend and improve it over time.

You can:

• Add more shelves
• Add another bay
• Extend into a full wall unit
• Add canvas covers
• Add containers
• Add more uprights
• Reconfigure it if you move
• Use the components in another setup later

Start with 2 bays now. Add more when your files, books or stock grow.

Lekker future-proof. 👊

➕ Popular Add-Ons to Consider

Make the most of your setup by adding:

• Extra Standard Shelves if you want more than 6 levels per bay
• Single Uprights if you want to extend your system later
• Aluminium Cross Braces for extra stability on larger layouts
• Canvas Covers to cover the front and create a cleaner, softer finish
• Storage Containers for documents, stationery, stock and admin bits
• Hooks & Rails for extra organising options

If you’re close to qualifying for free delivery, adding a few extras now is often the smarter move.

More storage. Same delivery mission. Sorted. 😄

🎨 Natural Pine Finish

Made from natural pine timber, this unit gives you that warm, clean, organic look that works beautifully in homes and businesses.

Leave it natural, or finish it your way:

• Oil it
• Wax it
• Stain it
• Paint it
• Seal it

Use it in a modern office, home study, reading corner, shop, archive room or storeroom — it works hard without looking harsh.

🛠️ Build-It-Yourself Friendly

This unit is designed for DIY assembly and comes with the required screws and fixings for the supplied components.

Basic setup:

1. Assemble the single uprights and middle double uprights.

2. Build the two equal 924mm bays side by side.
