Open shelves look good until the cables, batteries, takeaway menus and spare keys arrive. Then the whole wall reads as clutter, and there is nowhere on the unit to put any of it.

The bottom of this frame is two closed drawers. The small things that spoil a shelf go in there, and the four open tiers above stay for books, frames and plants.

Open above, closed below

The drawers run on slides with a recessed handle, so the front stays flat. Above them the open tiers keep books easy to reach. It is a tidy way to handle a room that has to look calm.

The numbers behind it

The frame is 20.5 inches wide at the top and 15.6 inches deep at the base, standing 52.44 inches tall. There are 12 inches of clearance between shelves, which takes most hardbacks standing up.

Kitchen shelf, hall shelf

The same unit works in a kitchen with jars and a fruit bowl, or in a hallway with post and keys. Engineered wood and MDF take a wipe down, which a kitchen asks for.

Closed storage at the bottom for the clutter you would rather not display.

Depths run 9.37, 11.33, 13.11 and 15.55 inches from the top shelf down.

Twelve inches between shelves, enough for most hardbacks to stand upright.

A wall bracket is supplied to anchor the top, which matters with drawers below.

Engineered wood and MDF with a smooth finish, so a damp cloth clears marks.

A flat black finish that sits quietly next to most other furniture.
