I’ve just been asked if I can kit out an office library, floor to ceiling ish, 8.5m of wall. If it was for home, I’d head off to IKEA without thinking twice, but is there anything a bit better, a bit heavier duty, and adjustable without going industrial and metal? Shelfstore stuff looks strong enough but not nice enough to look at. I’m happy to customise plinths and cornices etc to make a flatpack look good if there are nice ones out here. Thanks.

Ignore the “no metal” nonsense.

Yes, but the shelves in my fridge look better than that, and they want £556 for it when it could be done in Spur or slatwall for under £100.

I think they’re after something closer to this:

IKEA do do better stuff than Billy, btw. Just sayin.
