Frequently asked questions
What are the dowel sticks for?
They fit at the ends of a shelf and act as side rods, so books, files and loose items don't slide off the sides.
How many do I need?
One pack of 20 per bay. A dowel goes in every free hole on the left and right of the bay, so a 1-bay unit takes one pack, a 2-bay unit takes two, and so on. Choose the length that matches your shelf depth.
