About this product
The Argos Home Apley Short Bookcase gives you a place to store books, display ornaments, or keep everyday items organised without dominating a room. It's a compact unit that fits into living rooms, bedrooms or home offices. The black finish works with most colour schemes and existing furniture. Two adjustable shelves let you set heights that suit your books, picture frames, or potted plants. It adapts as your storage needs change over time.
The wood effect finish stands up to daily use and wipes clean after dusty spells. Adjustable shelf positions accommodate taller items or create even spacing for smaller pieces. Wall-mounting is required to prevent overturning, especially in homes with children, though fixings aren't included. Part of the Apley collection, so it coordinates with other pieces if you want a matching set. Self-assembly required with clear instructions provided. Comes with a one year manufacturer's guarantee.

Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-assemble bookcase with adjustable shelves, good stability, and great value. Ideal for small spaces, holds paperbacks well, but limited depth for large books.

Excellent Shelves
The shelves hold all my books a without bending in the middle. They were easy to put together and they complete the look of my room.

Nice bookcase
Nice bookcase - I've been looking for a shallow bookcase for ages. It's so easy I trained my teenager on assembling this, it's very stable so I'm not worried about it falling over or falling apart. My only quibble is the shelves - I used some books to get the right height but can't get the shelves positioned so books stand vertical on all shelves, one shelf has to have them all horizontal.

Hi Rick
The thickness for the side and top/bottom panels of the Argos Home Apley Short Bookcase - Oak Effect is 15 mm and the back panel is 2.5 mm.
Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
I have but you need to turn top one upside down and securely fix to bottom one then fix to wall. But only this way as it wont support the normal way up.
Hello Cd.

No, stacking two units is not recommended as it could affect the structure and stability. The bookcase is not designed to support extra weight from another unit on top.
