Frequently asked questions

Modular furniture is made up of various standardised parts (modules) which can be assembled together in multiple ways to create different pieces of furniture. This modular furniture is created using our 3D configurator and can be ordered directly via our website. The modular system enables you to create furniture which meets your individual needs, but the options are limited to those provided within the configurator. If our selection of modules does not meet your requirements, we also offer a made-to-measure service. This involves a consultation with our team of interior designers on the details of your project (colours, dimensions, accessories). They then produce a custom design according to your wishes along with a quote. Once you have approved the design in writing and accepted the quote, your piece of furniture is individually produced for you.

Yes, it is always necessary to fix shelves to the wall as it provides additional stability. If your shelf is in the middle of the room rather than next to a wall, it needs to be attached to the floor or ceiling instead. Adding back panels will make your shelf even more stable.

Generally yes, however it depends on your particular design and the condition of the wall. Please also note that having shelves suspended from the wall incurs an extra cost. We would be happy to request the additional accessories required to wall mount the shelf from our manufacturers. Just contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or call 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT) and let us know what you would like. Thank you!

Yes, all of our shelves are delivered with adjustable feet which are attached to the shelving panels. These help to counteract uneven floors and can be adjusted from 0.5 to 2cm. You can find a photo of these in the description of your configuration. As well as these discreet legs, you can also choose from a selection of leg designs within the configurator, where you can view them in detail. If you would prefer a different leg style, simply contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or by calling 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT). Please send us as much detail about the design you would like (your saved configurator design, details of your desired leg type including sizes, photos or sketches) as possible. Thank you!

Yes, absolutely! The default space between shelves within the configurator is 17cm. However, as all of our vertical shelf walls are pre-drilled holes with holes at 32mm intervals, you can choose where to put each individual shelf during the assembly process.

Back walls add extra stability to your furniture but they are not compulsory. We advise always fixing your shelves to the wall, however, for your own safety and to stabilise your shelves. You can either add back walls to particular sections of your shelf, (to create an alcove, for example) or add them to the entire shelf.

Our narrow shelves with a width of 37cm have a maximum weight capacity of 30kg, while our 73cm-wide shelves have a maximum weight capacity of 20kg. The weight must be spread evenly along the entire length of the shelves. If you would like to find out more information, just contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or call 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

Yes. You will receive a box containing high quality tools and all the accessories you need to ensure a smooth assembly process.

Yes, you can enter your exact preferred dimensions for the skirting board cut-outs (baseboard cuts) in the "Review" tab of the configurator. The price is automatically calculated according to the number of cut-outs that need to be made. Please note that this option is not available if you have added legs to your shelf, or if you have drawers or cupboards at the bottom of your shelf.

Yes, we offer stainless steel ladders with a height of 230cm or 320cm. To order these, please contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or call 0330 808 7475. We are here to help Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm GMT.

Select your preferred height in our configurator. For the purpose of assembly, please leave at least 3cm between the highest point of your shelf and the ceiling. If your desired height is not available in our modular system, it's not a problem. We can personalise our modules to fit your room, and would be happy to help you with the planning for this. Simply contact us at support@mycs.com or call us on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT) and let us know your requirements. If you would prefer to discuss your needs in more detail in person, then feel free to visit one of our showrooms.

Our shelving systems offer two board sizes: 36cm and 72cm. If you would like to combine two boards to make a larger shelf or create an alcove larger than those offered within the configurator, we would be happy to provide you with a made-to-measure design. Simply drop us an email at support@mycs.com or call us on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT) and our team of interior designers would be happy to offer you a design solution.

It is not possible to create a corner shelf using the configurator. However, you can still design a corner shelf with the following trick: create two different shelves - one for each wall - and attach them together during the assembly process. If this solution doesn't work for you, however, you can opt for a made-to-measure piece by contacting us at support@mycs.com or calling us on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

Our extension panels are made up of two parts: metal brackets attached to the bottom of the table top, which can be opened out or folded away, and the extension panel itself which clips onto the metal bracket. To do this, the narrow table frame must be removed. When not in use, the extension panel can be stored separately; our tables do not have built in storage for the extension panel. It is not possible to have table extension panels if your table has SYMPLE or SOLYD legs.

It is not possible to create a corner wardrobe using the configurator. However, you can still design a corner shelf with the following trick: create two different pieces of furniture - one for each wall - and attach them together during the assembly process. If this solution doesn't work for you, however, you can opt for a made-to-measure piece by contacting us at support@mycs.com or calling us on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

Yes, absolutely! However, it isn't yet possible to do this online. If you would like an open wardrobe with no doors, please send a description of your project to support@mycs.com or give us a call on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT). Our interior design team will happily provide you with a quote and help you configure your ideal wardrobe.

Unforuntely, no, the doors and drawers of our wardrobes are not lockable.

This isn't predetermined, so you can simply choose whichever way is more practical during assembly by turning the door upside down.

You can select from two options for the opening mechanism of our doors and drawers: either a push-to-open mechanism (a handle-free design), which is the default setting in our configurator, or small, understated handles which you can add to your design under the 'Front panels' tab in the configurator.

Yes, of course! Upon request, we can also produce glass doors with various different types of glass, wooden and metal frames according to your design requests. Simply our interior design team via email at support@mycs.com or by calling us on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

Our table tops are pre-oiled by the manufacturer. We recommending re-oiling it before use and continuing to do so periodically to keep it looking its best. The oil protects your table, revitalises the wood and has several advantages: it's easy to use, doesn't leave a film, and is waterproof and good for the environment.

If you spill a liquid on your marble table, wipe it up with a damp cloth immediately. For a deeper clean, use a soap with a neutral pH - any acidic or alkaline products can damage the marble surface. Using coasters and placemats also helps to prevent any wear and tear.

Clean the surface of the furniture with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive sponges or solvents. Our wooden surfaces are not oiled, but we recommend doing so in order to protect the wood from marks and other everyday wear and tear. Make sure to use environmentally-friendly, non-pigmented oils for this.

Clean the surface of the furniture with a damp, non-fluffy cloth, such as a microfibre or silk cloth. If you notice a mark, use a little soap and water to remove it. Ensure that you rub the cloth in a circular motion to avoid scratching your furniture.
