Tall and wide but shallow in depth, it’s perfect for the bibliophile, record collector or someone who needs a multifunctional piece that covers lots of home needs in one. Indeed, you could create a stunning, statement feature wall with this piece. It’s comprised of three parts – two upper shelf sections which sit on top of the wide base unit.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, used condition. We have thoroughly cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original. It’s a three part, freestanding piece where the two upper shelf sections simply sit on the base unit. The upper units should be secured to the wall for piece of mind and plates are supplied for this purpose. The upper shelf sections each feature four shelves, four are fixed and four adjustable on hidden metal rods. There are minor scuffs and scratches to the shelf sections but as you can see in our photos, this is minimal and they are in really good order. The base section features two cupboards with the signature Form Five doors that cleverly slide behind each other. The cupboard interiors are in good, clean order and the doors slide easily in their runners. The exterior surfaces carry some minor knocks, scratches and scuffs here and there as reflected in our photos. Overall, the wear and tear is light and in line with what we might expect with a vintage piece of this age and nature. The G Plan label can be seen inside the cupboard and on the top of the shelf units.
