Wide Shelving Unit β Reclaimed Derbyshire Timber & Steel
A wall-filling shelving unit, 180cm tall and 34cm deep, with shelves cut from 20mm reclaimed Derbyshire mill timber on a hand-forged UK steel frame. It comes in three widths β 80, 100 or 120cm β and is designed to sit against a run of open wall rather than tuck into a recess. If you need something for an alcove or a narrow gap, our 180cm narrow bookcase at 44cm wide is the one to look at instead.
Every shelf was once a floorboard or a beam in a Derbyshire mill built between 100 and 200 years ago. We salvage the timber locally, plane it back, joint it and finish it by hand in our workshop a few miles from where it came from β so the nail holes, saw marks and colour variation you can see are a hundred years of use, not a factory effect.
Most shelving under Β£400 is particleboard, veneer or "oak effect", and on a website it photographs much the same as the real thing. The difference shows in the shelf edge, in how much weight a span takes before it bows, and in how it looks in ten years.
