GAM Furniture 6-Space Shelf 2-Layer

The unit measures 1050 by 400 by 1000 mm overall, and each of the six spaces is about 35 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 33 cm high. Those cubby dimensions suit trays, baskets, books and games sorted one activity to a space.

It is a multifunction unit for storage or display. Placed at a reception it holds belongings for a while, and in a learning area it gathers books, games and other resources, so the same shelf can serve more than one part of a room.

Yes. Each shelf has a row of holes so the layers can be adjusted for flexible height. That lets you set the spaces taller or shorter for different trays and materials, and rearrange them as the child's activities change.

The cabinet and shelving range follows the same materials, colours and sizing as the GAM tables and chairs. Choosing pieces from the range gives a room a consistent look and lets storage, tables and seating line up in style and scale.

Each leg has a plastic foot underneath for stability adjustment, so the shelf can be levelled where a floor is not quite even. That keeps the loaded unit sitting firmly and stops it rocking in daily use.

The shelf is made of birch plywood with white and natural wood colour HPL veneer for a modern look. Assembly is required and a detailed instruction manual is supplied, so the parts can be put together step by step.

Wipe the veneer with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry it, keeping water out of the joints and away from the plywood edges. Keeping the shelf out of direct sun helps the finish stay even over time.
