Frequently asked questions

If you want to place particularly heavy objects on your GRYD, it is best to choose “heavy-duty boards” in the configurator. Reinforced boards will let you play it safe while staging your GRYD: Narrow boards (37 cm) can withstand up to 60 kg, and wide boards (73 cm) up to 40 kg. Keep in mind that it is important that you distribute the load as evenly as possible. There is one exception: boards with feet! Unfortunately, we cannot offer them as heavy-duty boards.

You can also strengthen your GRYD later with a metal brace. It is available in white or black, is easy to assemble and holds 80 kg. And if you have a load of up to 100 kg, simply double the support by taking two of them. The strut is not intended for reinforcement as a bench or something similar. Please contact our customer service by email: support@mycs.com if you have any further questions.


Is that all? Not quite: the heavy duty boards are available in black and white. They are also a real aesthetic enhancement, serving as an accent in your GRYD.

Yes, it is always necessary to mount them, because this guarantees their stability. If the shelf is supposed to stand in the middle on a room, not on a wall, it has to be mounted on the ceiling or the floor. Additional stability is received by adding back walls to your design.

Yes, the GRYD furniture models can be hung on the wall. For support, there are discreet wall brackets in 37 cm and 73 cm, available in black or white.

So that we can ensure that the wall cabinet is securely attached, the wall provided should be as flat as possible. A flat wall will allow the wall brackets to be optimally attached and screwed firmly to the wall. The wall itself should also be as stable as possible. We supply you with a wall bracket and a shelf bracket for each vertical module of your configuration, which are screwed together and placed in the top area of the module. You can choose whether you prefer the brackets in black or in white. Please note that the maximum load per wall bracket must not exceed 100 kg. An Allen key as well as screws and dowels for fastening to brick or concrete walls are also included in the delivery of your wall cabinet. If you have plaster or plasterboard walls, you can unfortunately not use our wall cupboard. For all other wall properties you need the appropriate screw / dowel combinations - it's best to get advice from a hardware store.

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.

All shelves are supplied with discreet, height-adjustable feet that are set into the shelf walls at the factory. They can compensate for unevenness in the floor and are independently adjustable in height from 0.5 to 2 cm. You can find a picture in the description of your configuration. In addition to these subtle feet, ten other models of shelf feet in wood and metal are also available in the configurator. Do you still have questions? Then contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

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.

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

You can easily change the opening directions of your shelf's or storage's doors by turning the door around during the assembly. You decide about it.

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.

You can flexibly add back panels in all colours and woods available for the shelf modules in the configurator.

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.

Yes, of course. Yes, of course. We offer glass doors for our GRYD system. Please check our showcase . You will find the glass doors at the configurator here: COLOURS - FRONT PANELS - GLASS.

If you choose a height from our configurator, please leave a gap of 5 cm to the actual height of your ceiling.

Yes, if you visit one of our showrooms, feel free to discover our furniture from as close as you want. Our interior designers will be glad to help and advise you. Or you order one of our sample boxes for free to get an impression of our quality standards. Please note that the inner materials for wardrobes (coated chipboard in oak, walnut, white and anthracite) are not part of the sample selection.

We want you to be fine, so we only use sustainable material with high quality standards. Our synthetic finishes are environmentally friendly, well-tolerated, produced in Europe and registered for furniture.

Sustainability and responsibility in the production process are part of our company culture and of highest priority. Our high-quality wood and veneer come from established European providers.

Our boards with a width of 36 cm and 72 cm can be loaded with 20kg and up to 60 kg with additional support. The weight has to be distributed on the whole length of the board.

Wood is a natural product. As every tree grows individually, the wood and veneers of each tree are unique in colour and texture. When you order a wood furniture, like from MYCS, it is not unusual but very natural that even within one type of wood there can be variations in structure and colour.

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.

Clean the surface of the furniture with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive sponges or solvents. We recommend oiling the wooden parts on a regular base 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.

You can find some useful tips on how to care for and clean your upholstered furniture at our MAGAZYNE.

The best way to care for your leather sofa is to dust the leather with a dry cloth from time to time. Under no circumstances should the leather be cleaned with soapy water or other cleaning agents. In our MAGAZYNE you will find more information on cleaning and caring for our fabrics.

We have 4 different types of leather to cover your sofa with. The velvety nubuck leather, the soft aniline leather with an open structure, the robust, extra-coated pigmented leather and a butter-soft vegan leather. You can find more details about our leather types in our MAGAZYNE.

Leather is available from MYCS as a cover for our FLAYR, TYME and PYLLOW sofa systems, as well as for our FYNE cushions.

The following colours are available for the following leathers:
Pigmented leather: Bordeaux red, purple red, taupe beige, white
. Aniline leather: Slate grey, Black
Nubuck leather: Taupe, Walnut Brown, Cognac, Olive Green
Vegan leather: Slate grey, Gravel grey, Grey brown, Coffee brown, Cognac, Taupe beige, Cream white

How sensitive the leather is depends on its type. Our aniline leather is definitely one of the more sensitive types and is therefore not so well suited for heavy use by children or pets. Pigmented and vegan leathers, on the other hand, are quite robust and can withstand a lot. Our nubuck leather is not insensitive, but suede develops its own character and charm through partial wear. So you'll find the right leather for every type of use at MYCS.

Every leather is different and has its own characteristics. Just like on any skin, you can see the markings of life, such as pores, stitches or scars. When dyeing, deviations can occur due to this skin-specific structure. But this is what gives each piece of leather furniture its own unique radiance.

Leather is a high-quality natural material. Its individual structure and artful processing make leather products a stylish eye-catcher in any home. It is also the perfect upholstery material. Leather is allergy-friendly and absorbs neither dust nor mites nor smoke. It breathes and adapts to room temperature and humidity. It also feels great and looks outrageously good. What's more, it is stretchable and keeps its perfect shape for a long time. Even abrasion and sunlight cannot harm its charm. If treated well, your leather product will age with class and style and stay with you for a lifetime.

Of course, you shouldn't do without a sofa in the best leather quality if animal welfare is important to you. That's why, in addition to our leather made from animal skins, we also offer vegan leather, which is in no way inferior to real leather in terms of quality.

Our leather covers are not removable. But at best they last a lifetime.

The MYCS User Pool is an initiative that aligns our design process with our core belief that our customers should be the creators. By joining the User Pool and sharing your experiences with us, you will be involved in each step of our evolution- from ideation, to prototyping, to our final product. By sharing your feedback on your MYCS user journey, you contribute to the culture of creation at MYCS- where your input has a direct influence on our design process from beginning to end. If you would like to apply to the MYCS User Pool you can take our short application questionaire.

We want to learn the details of your user experience so that we can optimise your journey with us at each and every step. This can involve questionnaires, one-on-one interviews, or direct product and website testing. When testing our online portal, a member from our design staff will be on hand to guide you through the process and to make notes of your user journey. At the beginning of each test you will be given precise instruction on what to do and how the information gathered will be used.

The amount of time needed for each research/testing session will vary, but testing will generally take 45mins to 1 hour. We will inform you of the estimated testing time when we contact you to participate. You will always be compensated for a minimum of 1 hour and will receive extra compensation if testing takes longer.

Each time you do a test with us, regardless of the length or style of testing, you will have the option of an Amazon voucher or a MYCS voucher, both with a 50€ value. In the very rare case that testing takes longer than 45mins, we will compensate with a voucher of a corresponding higher value.

Simply put, yes! A standard MYCS voucher cannot be used in conjunction with another MYCS voucher, but with each test you take with us we can accumulate the values into one voucher. We will keep an account of each time you test with us and automatically update it, so you don’t have to think about it.

Yes. You can order samples for free by clicking on Inspiration in the main menu, then Order Samples. You can then select up to 8 materials that you like, and we'll send you these samples by post.

You can contact us through 3 channels: by email at support@mycs.com, through our live chat function at the bottom right of the website, or by telephone on 0330 808 7475 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm GMT).

We are planning to open a showroom in London in the near future. We already have 8 showrooms in Europe, located in Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich and Zurich. These are showrooms where you can see our furniture up close and consult with our interior designers. Our showrooms are not stores, however, and it is not possible to buy furniture on the spot. Additionally, you can take a tour at our virtual showroom.
