The piece
The frame has two sides, a top, a bottom and 2 shelves. It has no back, doors or plinth. The 1,500 mm height puts the top shelf at eye level for many people; measure your room before you choose it.
The model uses a 900 mm wide cabinet shell and a two-shelf pattern. The boards are 18 mm plywood. The clear width between the sides is 864 mm.
The one-sheet constraint
This exact model and these settings uses 1 sheet of 2440 × 1220 mm. The same frame with 3 shelves uses 2 sheets. That is a measured boundary in the atlas, not a guarantee for another size or another saw.
The optimizer reports 30.6% waste and 9 cuts. Waste includes the kerf, the edge trim and unused areas; it may leave several remnants, and not every one is usable. The app shows the sheet and the remaining pieces.
The sides are 1,500 × 320 mm. Check that your sheet and your saw can cut that length after the edge trim. The atlas uses 5 mm trim on every edge.
The unit is 1,500 mm tall. Fix it to the wall. The model has no anti-tip device and no back.
- Width: 900 mm outside; 864 mm clear between the sides.
- Height: 1,500 mm outside; 3 clear openings of 476 mm.
- Depth: 320 mm; check the depth of your books.
- Sheet use: 1 sheet with 2 shelves; 2 sheets with 3 shelves.
The measured cut list
6 boards. Sizes are the finished board sizes from the model. All boards are 18 mm plywood. The atlas uses a 3 mm kerf, 5 mm edge trim and grain along the long edge; no part is rotated.
| Part | Qty | Length | Width | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Left side | 1 | 1,500 | 320 | 18 |
| Right side | 1 | 1,500 | 320 | 18 |
| Top | 1 | 864 | 320 | 18 |
| Bottom | 1 | 864 | 320 | 18 |
| Shelf 1 | 1 | 864 | 320 | 18 |
| Shelf 2 | 1 | 864 | 320 | 18 |
The cutting plan
The optimizer uses 1 sheet with these settings, 30.6% waste and 9 cuts. The only sheet is below. The app shows the numbered cut order.
Before you cut
Check the wall fixing and the 1,500 mm height. A tall open unit can tip; the model has no anti-tip device.
Check the shelf span and the joints. This page measures sheet use, not structural strength. It is not a load rating.
Set the real sheet size, thickness and kerf in the app before you buy material. The atlas result uses a 2440 × 1220 mm sheet, a 3 mm kerf and 5 mm edge trim.
The open frame has no back. A back adds a board and changes the one-sheet result; the atlas does not measure that version.
Frequently asked questions
Is it always one sheet?
No. This exact model and these settings uses 1 sheet. A wider, deeper or taller model can use more. The atlas table shows the measured cases.
What happens with a third shelf?
The same frame with 3 shelves uses 2 sheets in the atlas. The clear opening falls from 476 mm to 352.5 mm. Check that height for your books.
Can I add a back?
Yes in the app. A back is a separate board and changes the cut list and the sheet result. The atlas measures the open version only.
