Looking for a small bookcase, a bit like this from Roseland but needs to be a little wider (maybe 600mm) and preferably a little deeper (maybe 300mm) height is ideal at 800mm but could go a little higher.


They do a wider one at 700mm which would fit just but it's still only 260mm deep and only has one shelf. Most are only 225 deep I need two shelves.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not as expensive as you may think.

Interesting, thanks Ray. Carriage will likely be as much as the bookcase.

I had a cabinet custom made for my turntable and amplifier, as I couldn’t find anything I liked off the shelf. It weighed a ton as I ended up going for oak and a fair thickness. But I figured it’s worth it to me.

Can you get another one?
That's perfect, looking for somewhere to fit the BB router, CD player and headphones, rest the laptop & charger when not in use and landline phone & table/reading lamp on top.

I can try and dig out the plans I drew up. Any custom joinery shop will make it.

Edited, found plans. I did an initial rough sketch then more detailed drawing. Nothing fancy but I can send them if you are interested.

I then dyed the wood and gave it a coat of finish.

Probably the most difficult bit will be finding a custom joinery place up here.
Will Google
Thanks
