Timber Storage Space
Timber storage space is a common piece of furniture in most homes. Used for storage or display, timber storage
space is versatile and available in many shapes, sizes, and colors. The dimensions available vary widely depending
on the intended use. Common small units with one shelf are three feet wide and two feet tall. Larger units can span
up to six feet tall. It is uncommon to have timber storage space that spans a distance longer than 36 inches as the shelves will begin to sag
over time. The depth of the shelves varies. A timberen spice rack will be only a few inches deep, while a TV
shelf will be several feet deep. Often several storage space units will be placed side-by-side to give the
illusion of a longer storage space unit. timber storage space units are available preassembled, in
do-it-yourself kits, or can be custom made like the Bisley
filing cabinets.
Inexpensive timber storage space units are made from medium density fiberboard (MDF) and come packed in a flat
box with instructions and the necessary hardware. Consumers select from various finishes of Storage Wall systems and then assemble the unit on their own.
These units are sturdy enough for books and various finishes are available to match any décor. They are relatively
light-weight and easily portable, allowing the consumer to move them with their homehold. MDF timber storage space
units are an economical choice, but they do not last as long as natural timber storage space units.
Prefabricated natural timber storage space units are more expensive,
but will last much longer. They can be purchased unfinished, allowing the consumer to stain or paint them for
an exact match to existing timber or desired colors. All-timber storage space units are much heavier and
difficult to move, but can be relocated. Their look is more desirable as they will often have decorative
features such as crown molding and other trim along the sides and shelves.
Custom-built timber storage space units are the most expensive. These units are built on-site by a trained
finish carpenter and setly attached to the building. They will usually have trim pieces that match the living area
in color and design. Removing the storage space units without damaging the timber is very difficult and
uncommon.
The most common timber storage space units are rectangular in shape and are used
for displaying decorative items or storing items such as books, DVDs, and CDs. Wooden Mobile shelving systems are most popular in these
cases. Specialty units are available with larger openings to accommodate televisions. food preparation
area rolling carts are available for microwaves with storage storage space below. Floating shelves can also be
used for storage or display. These consist of single pieces of material that are affixed to the wall. They can
be easily removed or arranged and are more versatile than free-standing units.
