About this product
The Argos Home Jenson Narrow Bookcase keeps your books, belongings and decorative touches organised without taking up much floor space. It's a tall, slim design that fits into tighter spots where wider storage won't work. The white gloss finish keeps things looking clean and modern, blending in with most room styles. Two deep fixed shelves and two handleless drawers give you plenty of places to store books, display items, or tuck away smaller bits. The cut-out back panels keep things looking neat even when cables or plugs are behind it.
The drawers glide smoothly on metal runners, so you won't struggle to open them when they're full. The gloss finish wipes clean with a cloth, sorting everyday dust and marks. A wall fixing is recommended for stability, especially in homes with children, though fixings aren't included. Self-assembly required, and two people make it easier to put together. The shelves hold up to nine kilogrammes each, enough for books and heavier items without sagging.
Looking for more? The Argos Home Jenson Collection has matching pieces to complete the look. From TV units, sideboards and desks to complete 4-piece bedroom furniture packages, you'll find everything you need.

Expensive and not great
I found this unit very expensive for what it is and very time consuming to put together. Advertised as white gloss but again misleading as it’s only the drawer fronts that are. Drawers very small and not tall enough to stand a cd up which is what I wanted to store. Really disappointed

Great bookcase, but really difficult to assemble
The bookcase is perfect for my needs, fits the space exactly, and looks as good as you would expect for the very good value price. But it took my husband many hours to put it together - and he is a DIY whizz, so I would not recommend it for anyone without strong DIY skills.

Awful quality + missing parts
Was really excited to put this together for my living room. Unfortunately, there are multiple chips in the cheap material which are very obvious even from afar and two of the back panels were missing. Now that I’ve put it together the faff to return it is too much so I’m moving it to another room out of the way. I’ve had to request the missing pieces and have been informed it will take minimum 28 days for them to arrive. Would not recommend this item to anyone.

Does the job
Bought this bookcase as it fit the gap I had ans I needed one! Not the best quality but looks nice once up. Easy to mark/scuff. Front drawers are gloss finish, the rest is matt. I had the bookcase built by handyman and glad I did...took him about 45 minutes to put up!

Not impressed!
I contacted Argos before buying to confirm the sides of the unit were also in high gloss white and was assured they were. This turned out to be totally untrue, only the front is gloss! Not happy.

Hello Steve. I have taken a look at the instructions for building the The Habitat Jenson Narrow Bookcase. The downward struts form part of the strength of the bookcase by providing support for the cross panels or shelves. Removing them may weaken the structure.
Thanks for using Q&A.
