Know before you buy
While this unit is floor-mounted, it must be secured to the wall using the included hardware to ensure stability and safety. The floor panels provide the base structure, but wall attachment is essential for preventing tipping.
Yes, the String system is fully modular. You can easily purchase additional shelves, cabinets, or organizers from the String collection to expand or reconfigure the unit as your storage needs change.
The lacquered shelves are made from MDF with a smooth, painted finish, offering a clean and uniform look. The veneered shelves use particleboard topped with a thin layer of real wood, providing a more natural, textured grain appearance.
Each shelf is designed to hold approximately 33 lbs (15 kg) of evenly distributed weight. We recommend placing heavier items on the lower shelves to maintain the overall balance of the unit.
The floor panels feature adjustable feet that allow you to level the unit on slightly uneven surfaces. This ensures the shelving remains stable and aligned even if your flooring isn't perfectly flat.
The unit arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. You will need to attach the side panels to the wall and install the shelves at your preferred heights using the provided brackets.
