Now that DIY is something I'm beginning to get more confidence in, I've been having a good look at my home to see what needs updating/replacing and the first thing I came across was my old, broken shelving unit.
It's in my
So a new one was needed. Randomly I was contacted by a garage shelving company called Tufferman to see if I could test one of their 3 Storalex Bay storage units, which is when I had a lightbulb moment and asked if I could try a smaller version as a bookshelf.

They liked my idea, and I was happy because their storage units are designed to cope with 175kg per shelf, so I could pile my books and any other junk on there with no fear!
The bay came flat-packed, but thankfully there were easy instructions and everything was lightweight. All the pieces literally click into place, and you can position each shelf how you want, so I was able to do different heights for my folders, books and even shoes!

I loved how easy and quick it was to assemble, how easy it was to then move into the room I wanted it (all by myself) and how much it has been able to store.
I'm glad I thought outside of the box rather than assuming because I don't have a garage these would be of no use, because they are perfect for my heavy needs!
Win These Storalex Shelves!
