Part one

The upright

A single length of hardwood with a routed channel every 40 millimetres. Everything else in the system hangs off it, and it is the only part that touches your wall.

    Timber

    Four timbers, and no veneer
    anywhere in the system.

    Every part is solid, which is why a 610 can be sanded back and re-oiled in twenty years rather than thrown out. It is also why it costs what it costs.

    How it's made

    Cut to your order,
    not to a warehouse.

    We hold timber, not finished furniture. Your uprights are docked the week you order, which is why it takes three to five weeks and why the grain matches.

    Week one

    Docked and dressed

    Boards are selected for your order and machined to size. You get an email with a photograph of the actual stack.

    Week two

    Channels routed

    Every upright is routed on the same jig, which is what makes a 610 bought in 2016 fit one bought this year.

    Week three

    Oiled and cured

    Three coats of hard-wax oil, cut back between each. It cures for four days before it can be wrapped.

    Week four

    Flat-packed

    Wrapped in wool felt and cardboard, no plastic. It arrives as a bundle of parts and an A5 card.

    No. Shelves and boxes drop into the routed channels and lock with a quarter turn by hand. The only thing you might want is a spirit level and somebody to hold the second upright.

    Anything over four rows, yes: two brackets at the top, supplied. Under four rows it is free-standing, though we would still fix it if there are children in the house.

    That is the entire point. Every part made since 2016 fits every other part. Order a single upright and two shelves in ten years and it will line up with what you have.

    Send us the dimensions before you order and we will tell you what works. Bays are fixed at 760mm because that is what keeps a solid shelf from sagging under books, and we would rather say no than sell you a shelf that bends.
