Frequently Asked Questions

Start with your available wall space and what you need to store.

  • Measure height, width and depth (including skirting boards and radiators).

  • Check shelf spacing for larger books, folders or display items.

  • Consider tall vs. wide units depending on your ceiling height and room layout.

Prices vary based on size, material and condition, but buying second-hand can be a cost-effective way to furnish your home.

  • Smaller units are often cheaper and easier to collect.

  • Solid wood and large bookcases typically cost more.

  • Check photos and descriptions to compare condition and value.

A quick inspection can save you hassle after collection.

  • Test stability: ensure it doesn’t wobble and the frame feels solid.

  • Look for damage: cracks, chips, water marks or warped shelves.

  • Check fixings: missing screws, brackets and back panels can affect strength.

  • Confirm shelf load: thicker shelves and strong joints usually handle more weight.

Many bookcases can be taken apart, but it depends on the design.

  • Flat-pack styles are often easiest to dismantle and reassemble.

  • For solid wood units, ask whether shelves are fixed or removable.

  • Bring basic tools and keep screws/parts in labelled bags.

  • If you can’t dismantle it, measure doorways, lifts and stairwells before collection.

Plan the move to avoid damage to the item or your home.

  • Agree on collection time, parking access and whether you’ll need help lifting.

  • Use blankets or cardboard to protect corners and surfaces during transport.

  • For delivery, confirm the cost, floor access (lift/stairs) and assembly expectations.

  • Secure tall bookcases to the wall at home using appropriate brackets for safety.
