How much adjustment is there in the length of the X-Post?
  • Your X-Post is cut to length for you
  • We subtract 9cm from your ceiling height and cut the X-Post to this length
  • There is a total adjustment of plus/minus 4cm, ie the X-Post can be shortened by 4cm or lengthened by 4cm
  • However, we strongly recommend that you measure your ceiling height as accurately as you possibly can




How do I move a shelf?
  • No tools are needed other than some patience whilst you develop the knack
  • Always empty the shelf you are moving as well as any immediately adjacent shelves
  • Preferably use another pin to help you push the relevant pin to one side while you taking the weight of the shelf at the front bottom corner
  • This is an adjustable system where owners really do move the shelves around rather than leave them 'fixed' for evermore




Can I turn a shelf upside down?
  • Very perceptive question. By reversing a shelf, a number of possibilities are created:
  • firstly, the shelf ends are now pointing downwards which means that adjacent reversed shelves form a continuous flat surface rather than being interrupted by shelf ends
  • secondly, a reversed shelf above a regular shelf forms a 'box' which can be excellent for preventing books/files/records from falling over
  • thirdly, the back lip of the shelf now points down, which allows printers etc to span two shelves on a double-sided system
