Owen Drawer Shelving Unit

The Owen Drawer Shelving Unit in New Oak is the tall, deep version at 124cm wide, 50cm deep and 238cm high. Solid oak throughout, with open shelving above a built-in drawer. It anchors a modular Owen run.

This is the largest piece in the Owen range and the one that decides the look of a whole wall. Buy it first and arrange the smaller units around it; the reverse order usually ends with the big unit stranded in a corner where its proportions work against it.

At 238cm tall and 50cm deep the unit holds a serious amount of weight, and that is the argument for solid oak over a veneered board. Shelves at this span sag over years under a full load unless the material is stiff enough, and solid timber is what keeps a long shelf reading straight.
