About Bamboo Joint Modular Shelf
Bamboo Joint is a modular shelf designed for small homes and rented spaces. The metal support rods are shaped to recall bamboo joints, and the solid wood panels rest on the rods by their own weight, so no tools are needed for assembly. Each panel has pre-drilled holes fitted with rubber pads that strengthen the connection with the rods. The number of panels can be chosen to suit the room and the intended use. Flat packaging simplifies transport. Single panels and rods can be bought separately, replaced or returned for recycling.
