Ha, The new measure app in ios12 says its 30cm so its a no go. Thanks anyway.

Well it says the width is 60cm each piece of wood must be about 2cm thick so that’s lost 6 cm. so your talking about the boxes being around 27cm in width and height.

Ta. Won’t fit my vinyl then?

It's not even veneer, it's just an oak effect.

Decent enough, although it’s oak veneer not oak

Ordered one and it arrived today, worth the £30 very pleased with it. We will need to fix it to the wall, not sure how we will do that but not worth the risk when young kids around.

Took me about 15mins but i used an electric screwdriver on a low torque setting.

definitely needs to be screw-fixed to the wall,otherwise will collapse.

Ikr, I had to set 2 of them up. They look great side by side. It only took me around 2 hours to put both of them up.

This is a really beautiful shelf. I got a black one for our living room few months back and put it together when I was on maternity leave. All I remember is being bored out of my brains because the construction of this was so repetitive (8 screws per shelf i remember.. and the same again and again and again..) it took me about 2 hours to do.

Thank you

Yes - they are the masters of flatpack! The one to go for is the Billy range (maybe a bit more money than the one you found?). They've been making it for years in a wide range of sizes and finishes (incl real wood veneers) and they all work together. You can even get doors to go on the front of them if required and extension pieces if you have high enough ceilings.

Definitely (flirt) (y)

Besford, As far as I can see, the similar (although slightly bigger) Ikea one is £55. Is their quality usually better?

Good point but I was looking in Argos to match my other Home furniture.

Mine arrived today. Quite dissapointed. It was missing peices, and pieces that were there were damages, one front panel cracked. and the H peice was splintering all across

It seems quite good value, however like a lot of solid wood furniture nowadays it's actually made of strips of wood glued together, they look to be about 5cm wide.

CDs, DVDs etc I'm with you, but just old fashioned with books. Also I have very light sensitive eyes so can't read tablets for too long

Not true, I'm looking at getting around 3 or more bookcases for all my books but these can also be used for display shelving

Thank you!! Been after a solid wood bookcase for ages - bought now. Thanks OP.

White is OOS online :(

Haha maybe my VHS collection too. (y)

Been looking for something like this. Ordered and will see what the quality is like.

Are you sure magazines only?!! Com'on be truthful lol.

Benn looking for similar for a while, brilliant!

I've just returned mine (that I bought for £70) because they sound dreadful. Acceptable for TV sound - mind you, you'll need an optical converter for a few quid on eBay - but try playing music through these and it sounds atrocious. No amount of fiddling with the bass and treble would fix it. Not to mention the controller doesn't work 90% of the time because the IR receiver is behind the speaker grille, so you have to angle it just right.

Great sound for the price. I bought a set for my daughter to use with her record deck. they look nice too.

Hey I've bought this and I will sell the spare for 55 to anyone in Leicester

I'll happily buy a set from someone for £50, who is preferably based in London

Thanks, was looking for a mini Hi-Fi set for my daughter's room, but these fit the bill, plus can use outside in summer. Great head's up!

Thank you :)

Is delivery included please? As it seems like there's a £6.95 standard delivery?

Out of stock

Does it needs to be fixed to the wall...

looks nice

Looks more like a pillar box to me

Looks really cheap & nasty!

Yeah, only £30 discount...no good to me

Great find. The spec looks good I just hope they sound as good. I've been after a set for my daughter's turntable.

Speakers have arrived but not working!

Could I use them as passive speakers connected to an amp or would that fry them?

Does anyone ever pay full price for kitsound though? Seems like it's a brand that only sells on sale or as free bundled stuff.

Code 8132 is giving 35% and Free Delivery today... £37.05 for the one above. Mixed reviews about the slow delivery... but great quality once it arrives. Heat OP.

Looks a lot bigger than it actually is. Only a meter tall.

Thanks,10% TCB for new customers too.

I bought these when in stock for the same price - a real bargain, a nice balanced sound - best deal I could find for the money,

already out of stock

I'm impressed with mine for the price - louder and fuller than I expected for the size. My only moan would be that when you flick the power switch to on they play quite a jarring orchestral "hit" which nearly made me pap myself the first time I did it (shock) . edit: Oh, just remembered my other grumble - the speaker cable joining the two together is a bit on the short side.

how is the sound quality?

These look good. I'm really looking for something similar to this with a USB slot. I want to be able to have 1 power wire to use Chromecast audio and speakers. - Anybody know any products?

What? It's exactly the same as pretty much every other bit of furniture they do.. It's chipboard with a veneer.

Hmmm never thought this deal would be cold as this BILLY bookcase is sturdy and made of good wood compared to other bookcase in Ikea.

Not a bargain.

Well it is for children.... Dimensions are clearly listed as (h)60, (w)51, (d)23cm

Peppa Pig is also available for £20.99 (£34.99 at Argos) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Peppa-Pig-Kids-Sling-Bookcase/dp/B01N8Y2CVL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502116509&sr=8-1&keywords=peppa+pig+bookcase

Do yourself a favour and check the size before you order one. They didn't leave out the dimensions by accident. IT IS MINISCULE

Ordered thanks!

I was going to be quite impressed, until I realised that titanium was just a colour :/

If you're double backing and prepared to have some laid at a 90-degree angle on top too, then you can get approximately 144 DVD's per shelf; otherwise, from left to right, single line and nothing on top, you're looking at 51 DVD's across.

Not sure about the numbers mate. What I keep are collectors edition of games. They're not exactly dvds.

how many dvds can you fit per shelf? as this is exactly what id use it for

This. Exactly this - seconded. Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth.

Yeah I guess this is the post that sums it up perfectly

I got these from Argos and they are pretty good... Couldn't agree more! I have a sling and all the books fall out, such a stupid design! I ended up buying these book ledges from argos and the did the trick...also look nicer on the wall. http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3338449?cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157|cid:199887513|agid:17801095113|tid:aud-144400486596:pla-121788118833|crid:74692316073|nw:g|rnd:5904496003309363088|dvc:m|adp:1o1&gclid=CPvl3bvk39MCFeqd7QodwzELWg

I have this bookcase but I would not recommend it. It does not hold many books and you can't see the books as they fall down the holders. You are better with a open design like the gruffallo shelf's you also linked to. Easier for kids to see the books.

received mine but the remote is faulty as its getting as hot has a hot cross bun :-(

Ordered last week, just received an out of stock notice, order cancelled

Back in stock. Now 5p cheaper! £49.92

OOS

Cheers OP, seems like a good deal. Reviews suggest the 180W output is nonsense, more like 60W. Still powerful enough for a TV/lounge setup.
