Story
A shelf for smaller spaces
The press release gives the HM14 as 25 cm deep and 75 cm long and finds it suitable for smaller spaces such as bedrooms.
Made for the wall
The sheet's disassembly steps describe a wooden board screwed onto metal brackets that are fastened to the wall, and the press release says that the metal fittings can be separated from the wood for responsible recycling.
