a modular shelf that can be installed between the floor and the ceiling without tools.
the spring-loaded system at the top makes this impressive installation possible.
you can place it in front of a wall in the traditional way, but also use it as a room divider or partition anywhere.
of course, it looks great right away, but when you remove the system, there are no holes in the wall (though there may sometimes be a slight color difference on the ceiling and a mark on the floor).

2 uprights and 8 brackets in matte black lacquered metal.
6 light wood shelves, including:

4 with a depth of 22 cm.
2 with a depth of 34 cm.
please note:
- you can install only 4 at a time.
- 8 shelf covers bearing the name of the manufacturer, wohnbedarf (photos).
- the uprights are drilled through their entire diameter. This allows you to expand your current setup or do so in the future (photos) with compatible components (quite common on the market).

maximum ceiling height: 2.5 m, or use a cabinet to reach the ceiling.
minimum height: 2.4 m, but you can reduce the height of the uprights by sawing them down. The leg mechanisms will always fit.
the threaded ends of the legs allow for fine, independent adjustment on each side (photos).
this means that differences in floor level or surface irregularities won’t affect the result.
in fact, installation under stair treads is also possible! one upright can be a different size from the other.
this system is so clever and simple.


please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns about the system’s stability.
we’ve been using them for several years (photos) and can guarantee their excellent stability despite the lack of wall mounting.

in very good condition, with a few scratches on the metal and some signs of corrosion on the legs (photos).
