An elegant, ultra-slim console shelf designed specifically to slide behind a living room sofa. At 240cm long and only 20cm deep, this piece utilizes internal vertical dividers to eliminate the severe sagging risks typical of such a long, narrow span. Built from solid 20mm White Oak, it features stopped dado joints for clean, high-strength structural support, an integrated heavy-duty wall-anchoring cleat to eliminate tipping hazards, and a subtle front toe kick to hide floor gaps.
