Undertaking Notes

  • You can also make your shelving as lengthy or quick as you need.

  • You’ll be able to go taller with the shelving, however do take into account ahead tipping – it would be best to connect to the wall.
  • You’ll be able to add extra cabinets, at any top.  And the cabinets could be partial or full size
