A 3-tier bookshelf occupies the sweet spot between decorative shelf and full storage wall. At 98cm tall it sits below most eye levels, which means it can sit in front of a window without blocking light, double as a credenza in a dining room, or act as a display unit in a bedroom. The Cleo 3-tier is available in 90cm and 120cm widths — both with Natural Ash or walnut shelves and a lip detail that gives each shelf its characteristic profile.
Each shelf holds up to 15kg distributed weight. Frames are powder-coated steel in matte black or brushed gold, or brushed stainless steel — all built for rigidity rather than decoration. Adjustable foot levellers are included so the unit sits flush on any floor. The 90cm width suits compact spaces; the 120cm has enough presence for an open-plan living or dining area without the visual weight of a 5-tier.
Each unit arrives flat-packed with pre-drilled components, all hardware and full assembly instructions. Assembly typically takes 30–45 minutes. In-stock items are dispatched within 2–7 business days to most Australian metro and regional areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between the 90cm and 120cm 3-tier options? +
A: The 90cm is the compact option — well-suited to bedrooms, studies, hallways and tighter spaces. The 120cm is wider and reads more as a living room or dining room piece — enough presence to hold a room without the height of a 5-tier.
Q2: Can a 3-tier bookshelf work in a bedroom? +
A: Yes — at 98cm tall it suits bedrooms well. It can work as a bedside display piece, a wardrobe side unit or a reading nook shelf without overpowering a smaller room.
Q3: What are the exact dimensions? +
A: 90cm option: 90cm W × 38.8cm D × 98cm H. 120cm option: 120cm W × 38.8cm D × 98cm H.
Q4: What are the shelves made from? +
A: Natural Ash or walnut shelves, each with a lip detail along the edge. Frames are powder-coated steel (black or gold) or brushed stainless steel.
Q5: How much weight can each shelf hold? +
A: Each shelf holds up to 15kg distributed weight.
Q6: Can I pair a 3-tier with a 5-tier in the same room? +
A: Yes — both tiers share the same frame proportions and finish options. A 5-tier centre unit flanked by 3-tier units on either side is a popular approach that creates a built-in shelving wall effect.
Q7: Do the feet adjust for uneven floors? +
A: Yes — adjustable foot levellers are included with every unit, so the bookcase sits flush and stable regardless of floor variation.
