Description

Lovely colouring, patina and condition. Fabulously flexible.

This Avalon unit is both a design statement piece for your home or workplace, and highly practical.

With four ladders, six units and one shelf it can be used as an impressive three bay piece, or as two separate bays.

Great for storing albums below a record deck. Can hold loads of decorative items, books and photo frames. Space too for a laptop.

How to use the piece:
The Avalon unit can be mounted as a single piece, with three bays. Alternatively, it can be mounted as two separate bays which can look great either side of a fireplace or chimney, or just in different locations.
The ladders have adjustable feet, which helps even out any uneven parts of your floor. The feet also include helpful screwholes so the ladders can be screwed into a floor.
Support rods. There are 12 support rods, which is enough to support six cupboards/shelves/drawers. This Avalon wall unit comes complete with seven useful items (six cupboards, one drawer/ worktop and one shelf. This means you have some extra options. One or more units can be placed directly on the floor between the ladders, which frees up support rods to use for the extra items.

Units:
Unit 1 – record unit. This is a deeper unit, and it has fixed wooden dividers inside that provide five sections. Ideal for segmenting your album collection. The round inset handle on the right hand sliding front shows slight damage/ wear. Please see image. External depth 43.5cm, width 81.5cm, height 41cm.

Unit 3 - This is also a deeper unit with a drawer below. The drawer has two teak dividers in it, helping you organise stuff more effectively. If placed at the right height, the top of the drawer serves well as a working space. It’s easily big enough for a good-sized laptop/ screen and keyboard.

Condition report:

Very good condition for age.

Lovely patina and colour, built over time, No chips to veneered edges. Slight dinks and scratches to surfaces as you would expect. Wear/ slight damage to inset round handle on one unit (record unit) but it does not draw the eye - see photo. This piece is in lovely condition. Do note that some cupboards do not have their internal shelves. These were discared by the previous owner as they wanted taller storage. The units without shelves have all their shelf supports, so obtaining new wood or glass shelves is very straightforwaard if that's what you want.

This Avalon unit can be used as two standalone bays, or placed as one long three bay feature piece.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company.
