Our Community Playthings Shelving Units are designed to hold more, and are therefore 37 cm (14-1/2") deep. The robust construction, pure maple materials, the clear, tough, non-toxic finish and safety-rounded corners ensure an extraordinarily long and safe lifetime in your classroom.
Each unit has a kick plate on both sides that can be "kicked down" for stability or "kicked up" to engage the mobile castors. The backing on non-translucent units is a flannel board, to which you can attach mirrored, chalkboard or clear backings.
Measures 124 cm L x 61 cm H x 37 cm D (48 3/4" L x 24" H x 14 1/2" D)
