Steel Bookend Pair

A pair of L shaped bookends in 3mm steel with a felt foot, heavy enough to hold a row of hardbacks without a book behind them for ballast.

Accessories hook into the same uprights and the same 32mm pitch as everything else, which is the whole argument for a track system. Nothing here needs a new hole in the wall and nothing here is fixed where you first put it. If you decide in a year that the utensil rail should be a shelf lower, it takes a minute.

Fitting

Two people, a drill, a spirit level and about two hours for a single wall. Mark the top line first and hang every upright from it rather than measuring up from the floor, because floors are never level and a shelf that follows the floor looks wrong in a way nobody can put their finger on. Fix the first upright, level it, then use a shelf as a straight edge to set the next one. The fixing pack, a paper template and a printed sequence are in the box.
