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 made of matte black lacquered metal.
6 light-colored wooden 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 (see photos).
- the posts are drilled to match their diameter. This allows you to expand your current or future setup (see photos) with compatible components (which are fairly common on the market).

maximum ceiling height: 2.5 m, or you can use a box to reach the ceiling. (see photos showing the dark model adapted to our space.)
minimum height: 2.4 m, but you can reduce the height of the posts 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 levels or surface irregularities do not 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.

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

easy assembly by two people. Assembly instructions included with delivery.

mid-century modern - minimalist
