About this product
The Habitat Marston Oak Veneer Bookcase gives you generous display storage in a walnut-stained finish that works in pretty much any room. There are four fixed shelves where you can show off statement pieces, favourite reads, or everyday essentials you want to reach quickly. Two sliding door cupboards hide away clutter you need but don't want on display. The oak veneer with wood effect finish stands up to daily use while keeping that warm, natural look. It's tall and spacious enough to hold plenty without taking over your floor space.
The sliding doors reduce space requirements because they don't swing out, that's handy in tighter rooms or hallways. Each shelf holds up to 30kg so you can load them with books, storage boxes, or decorative bits. The unit's over 60cm tall, so wall fixings are included to keep it stable and secure, especially important if you've got children around. Self-assembly with two people recommended, all the fixings and instructions come with it. Covered by a one-year guarantee for peace of mind.
Line up scented bottles, photo frames and a jewellery box or two in a bedroom. Marston offers fabulous flexibility. We've lots of items that will help you make your new bookshelf the star of the show. See our vases, frames and table lamps to get your designer juices flowing.

Customers Say
Stylish, mid-century inspired bookcase with a beautiful walnut finish. Easy to assemble with clear instructions. Some quality concerns include wobbliness, veneer gaps, and uneven doors. Wall fixing recommended for stability.

Disappointing.
Looks nice in design and the size is perfect, but it’s poor quality for the price. The edges of the shelves are not the same shade of colour as the shelf itself which means the shelves look permanently dusty. It’s also not as sturdy as I feel it should be - wobbles with the slightest nudge.

Stylish shelving unit.
Looks really stylish. It is a little rickety but only if pushed. Overall, we're happy.

Beautiful bookshelf
Both colour and style are quite impressive. It was also very easy to assemble, and instructions were clear. A little minus goes to the doors of the closed storage, who are no fully align. But they still open and close so nothing to worry about.

So, so flimsy
I read in some previous reviews that this was a really flimsy item, but the manufacturer’s specs said it could take 30kg per shelf, so I bought it anyway. What a mistake. This thing is rickety. No way I’d load it up to that extent. I would not recommend this item. And the shade is darker than it appears in the photos.

Well made and nice looking bookcase
Well made and nice looking bookcase. Needs to be assembled, ideally by 2 people. Instructions are in a large booklet and is fairly easy to follow.

Nice stylish bookcase
Looks great. Love the modern design and really wood finish. Fairly easy to assemble.

Great quality bookcase
A flat pack product but I found it quite straightforward to assemble. Am really pleased with the quality and look of the bookcase. It is also very stylish and modern looking. The only slight issue I had was with the wall attachment which included a thick cable tie & a couple of plastic fittings - I upgraded this to two small metal 90 degree brackets that I attached to make it very stable and safe.
