Customers Say
These shelves are well-received for their quality, ease of installation, and aesthetic appeal. However, some users noted their shallow depth limits storage capacity.

Quality bookshelves
I bought these as we have used them in the past, they are strong and hold a considerable amount of books of different sizes. They are very useful.

Great product
Lovely product, matches description and looks lovely on the wall!

Nice decorative shelving
Ideal for photos and trinkets. Not a huge amount of space on the shelf itself. Easy to put up. Lovely colour and finish

More like picture ledges than bookshelves
I didn't realise till I got them how shallow these shelves actually are. Because of the back and front to the shelves, the actual usage space is only 6cm deep which is not enough to even place a cup on. Will be returning for a refund...

Hi Dj1785,
The Habitat Kids Set of 2 Bookshelves - White are drilled to the wall.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Adam,
The supplier has advised the following for the Kids Set of 2 Bookshelves - White:
As cups can vary so much in size and shape, we cannot give an exact answer. We'd advise against putting a mug of hot liquid like coffee on a bookshelf in a child's room anyway as a matter of safety. Also a full cup/mug could be quite heavy too though each shelf will support a maximum weight of 3kg but you would need to consider the weight of the other items already on it as well. However, it would be possible, subject to these caveats, to put a cup or mug onto the shelf if it was the right shape and size.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Jay,
Each shelf weighs 1.1Kg.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi CDay,
The depth of the actual display part of the each shelf is 5.7cm so it will depend on the thickness of the books used. A thin children's book may measure approx 1cm in thickness so you could fit a few, maybe 3, behind each other and having them tilted towards the back so they don't topple. This will also depend on the width of the books, as the shelf measures 60cm in width. If the books are small, about 15cm wide, you could fit 4 books across. If they are large, like 30cm, perhaps only 2 across with some other books fitting behind it. If you see photo 1 on the product page, you can see the different size books that can fit on the shelves and how many they can roughly hold.
Thanks for using Q&A,
Hi there,
Having checked, these are made of wood, so could be cut to fit.
Thanks for using Argos Q&A.
They are made of wood so I don’t see why not.
Hi Pete,
Yes, you can put two shelves side by side as long as you fix them separately and adhere to the maximum weight limit per shelf of 3kg.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Argos Q and A.
Hi Gilsea
I have looked into this for you.
This unit is made of MDF
Thanks for using Argos Q & A
Hello Sophie,
The height of the front edge of the shelf is 5 cm.
Hope this helps
Thank you for using Argos Q and A.
Hi there,
The Kids Shelving Display Unit has a small lip prevents books, or photos for example, from sliding off when displaying.
Thanks for using Argos Q&A
Try a spray paint like painter’s touch!
Hi MummyPig,
The Kids Shelving Display Unit - White already have a painted finish. You would have to rub them down with sand paper then apply undercoat then a gloss or silk finish in the colour of your choice.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Argos Q & A.
