Product Information

Full details

The Office Hippo Heavy Duty Bookcase is designed for office managers and home-office professionals who require a robust, long-term storage solution for heavy documents and reference materials. Its primary advantage is the 25kg per shelf weight tolerance combined with a durable, heat-resistant finish, though users should be aware that its 2000mm height requires stable flooring and vertical clearance during installation.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes, the product is backed by a 5-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Bookcase feels wobbly or unstable

Use the adjustable feet at the base of the unit to ensure all corners are making firm contact with the floor.

Shelves are bowing in the middle

Verify that you have not exceeded the 25kg weight limit per shelf and ensure the shelf supports are seated correctly in their respective holes.

Surface stains appearing

Although the finish is stain-resistant, clean spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth and dry the area thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 25kg weight capacity per shelf
  • Heat and stain-resistant surface finish
  • Adjustable feet ensure stability on any surface
  • Solid back panel provides excellent structural support
  • 5-year guarantee offers long-term reliability

Cons

  • 2000mm height may be too tall for some home office ceilings
  • Requires assembly upon delivery
  • Heavy unit weight makes repositioning difficult once loaded

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To assemble the unit, ensure you have a clear floor space of at least 2.5 meters. Follow the included instructions to secure the metal-to-metal fixings, as these are critical for the bookcase's 25kg load capacity. Once the carcass is assembled, use the adjustable feet to level the unit before placing it against a wall.

Care instructions are simple: wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust. Because the finish is stain-resistant, most office spills can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical abrasives that could damage the edge banding.
