About this product
The Habitat Compton 2 Drawer Bookcase gives you storage that works hard and looks smart in your living room or home office. It's a tall unit with five shelves for displaying books, plants and decorative bits you want to show off, while two bottom drawers hide away the things you don't. The matt black finish makes everything you put on it stand out, so your favourite pieces get the attention they deserve. The contemporary cut-out handles keep the look clean and streamlined. There's plenty of room to arrange things your way across the five divided areas.
The shelves are a mix of fixed and adjustable, so you can adapt the height to suit what you're storing, whether that's tall vases or stacked paperbacks. The wood effect finish gives it a modern feel without fuss. It's tall at 180cm, so wall-fixing brackets are included and really important for stability, especially if you've got kids or pets around. Self-assembly is required, and everything you need comes in the box. The unit's narrow depth at 29cm means it fits neatly against walls without eating up floor space.
For a distinctive statement piece for your bookshelf, take a look at our decorative accessories. From quirky animals and hand-painted jugs and bowls, to fabulous faux flowers. You'll find something you love as much as we do.

Customers Say
Sturdy, good value bookcase with handy drawers and adjustable shelves. Assembly often challenging due to unclear instructions, missing pre-drilled holes, and flimsy back panels.

Middling quality and scuffed up
Bought this and it came pretty scuffed on all parts. Not a big deal for us cause you get what you pay for.

Nice finish
Brilliant and good looking

Attractive but flimsy contruction
Looks good but uses flimsy plastic dowels, one broke when we assembled it and we had to superglue it back together. So a bit disapppinting there.

Excellent Value for Money.
I bought this sturdy bookcase about three weeks ago and it serves its purpose quite well. It is spacious and looks good in my reading corner. Very good value for money!

Exactly what we wanted.
We brought 2 of these book cases to re-organise our storage in a small room. It’s good quality for the money and we are very pleased with it. The instructions are fairly if . We found It needs 2 of you to assemble it easily. The drawers at the bottom are extremely handy , and the shelves are nice and deep, and I like that you can adjust the height of most of the shelves.

Poor quality
Not particularly good quality, instructions are pretty useless, you're left to guess most of it. Frustrating to build

Rubbish
Instructions show you it upside down, It’s rubbish to put together the back so put together badly and the drawers don’t fit properly Waste of money

Habitat Compton 2 Drawer Bookcase White
Easy to assemble, draws are robust to take quite a pounding pulling and pushing in and out along with the structure of the whole Bookcase
Mark, 55 - 64, Chelmsford Essex
Looks nice but definitely a budget bookcase
Martial parts not numbered, some screws say are in the bag one but actually in with drawers runners. The back comes in 3 sections small medium and large. Although you do tack it on with pins around the edges there is just tape holding the sections together. This is grey tape so you can see it on both side. The drawers are not very wide or deep, there is a lot of wasted space at the back. No matter where you place the shelves there is not much room for taller items. Not bad for the price but I also feel it could be a little cheaper for what it is.

Good bookshelf
The product unfortunately isn’t as visually appealing as it looks in the photos. Not as sturdy as you’d assume however its function is still good.

Hi lau
The drawers on the Habitat Compton 2 Drawer Bookcase - Black are removable however, if left out, the base would be the extra shelf, it would not be possible to add an additional shelf in between the two drawers for example. However, we would not recommend the use in this way.
Hope this helps. Thanks for using Q&A.
