Grade B: Shelf step

Grade B: Shelf step

The Grade B: Shelving Step is the ideal solution for those who want to maximize their space and keep their manga, comic, or book collection organized. Thanks to its stepped design, it allows you to place volumes on both the front and back shelves, raising the back ones so the spines remain visible. This way, you can enjoy a tidy, functional, and visually appealing display.

Manufactured in our workshop using 3D printing , this Grade B: Bookshelf Step combines design, durability, and sustainability. Its solid and stable structure supports the weight of several books without deforming, guaranteeing a firm base for your collection. Furthermore, its minimalist finish blends seamlessly into any environment, from a teenager's bedroom to a library or living room.

The purpose of this Grade B Bookshelf Step is to offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing way to display your collection without taking up extra space. By raising the books from the back, it improves visibility and makes it easier to quickly find the volume you're looking for. It's perfect for collectors who want to highlight their favorite editions as well as for those who want to maintain a clear and accessible organization.

Each unit is printed using compostable PLA, a plant-based material that offers an excellent balance of strength and lightness. This material is durable, non-toxic, and can be industrially composted at the end of its lifespan, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Its surface may exhibit slight variations in texture inherent to the 3D printing process, giving it a handcrafted and unique character.

Materials and quality Grade B

The Grade B shelf step is manufactured using the same compostable PLA as our premium versions. However, it may have slight cosmetic imperfections, such as visible print lines or small blemishes, which do not affect its strength or functionality. This type of piece is ideal for those seeking an economical product without sacrificing durability or the distinctive design of our 3D printed accessories.

Thanks to its composition, the Grade B: Shelving Step offers excellent stability and a lightweight design, making it easy to install and move. Its design is intended to integrate seamlessly with popular shelving units like the BILLY and KALLAX from Ikea, ensuring complete compatibility in terms of size and format.
