Product Information
Full details
The Core Products Freya Low Narrow Bookcase is an ideal storage solution for apartment dwellers, home office workers, or anyone looking to maximize tight corners and narrow wall spaces. Its primary benefit is a space-saving, slim footprint that provides significant vertical storage without cluttering a room. While its compact 21 cm depth makes it perfect for nooks, it is not suitable for oversized hardcovers or extremely deep storage needs, which is an important caveat for potential buyers.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the bookcase?
The unit measures 120 cm in height, 48 cm in width, and 21 cm in depth.
Can I add more shelves?
The unit includes two fixed shelves and two adjustable ones. Additional shelves are not provided, and modifications may affect the structural integrity.
Is the finish water-resistant?
The finish is easy to clean and durable for everyday use, but it is not waterproof. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture damage.
Is this bookcase suitable for heavy encyclopedias?
While sturdy, the bookcase is designed for standard books and decor. Avoid overloading shelves with excessive weight to prevent bowing.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will generally need a standard screwdriver. All necessary hardware for assembly is included in the package.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
Due to potential high humidity in bathrooms, which can affect wood-based furniture over time, it is better suited for living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices.
Troubleshooting
The bookcase feels unstable.
Check that all screws are tightened fully and ensure the unit is positioned on a level floor. Consider adding wall-mounting safety brackets.
Shelves are wobbling.
Verify that all shelf pins are correctly seated in their holes and that the shelves are resting firmly on all four pins.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: The unit is delivered flat-packed and requires assembly. Follow the included instructions to secure the fixed shelves first, then install the shelf pins at your desired heights to support the adjustable shelves. A standard screwdriver is typically all that is required.
Placement: Because of its tall and narrow stature, it is recommended to place the bookcase on a level surface. In homes with small children or pets, securing the unit to the wall with an anti-tip bracket is strongly advised for safety.
Care: To keep the finish in top condition, wipe down the surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which could damage the protective coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution is sufficient, followed by immediate drying with a clean cloth.
