Keeps a freestanding unit steady. The aluminium cross brace is 1.2 × 1.2m and fits across the back of a Shelf Space unit. It helps keep the unit upright and stable when the unit is not fixed to a wall. It is delivered free anywhere in the country.
Use it on a unit you built from separate parts, as a replacement, or on any unit you'd rather not screw into the wall.
