Key Features:
• Mix and match with other units in the same range
• 12 cubbyholes
• 18mm MFC body with 2mm ABS edges
• Choice of carcass colour

This mix and match furniture range by Metroplan offers a selection of slimline bases and tops to personalise your classroom according to your storage needs. Simply choose one base unit (sold separately) and one top to match for an attractive, space-saving and great value solution that is truly unique.

This particular unit is designed to stack onto Base C and features 16 empty cubbyholes across four columns that are able to fit trays of 150 x 260 x 312mm (H x W x D) or smaller. Trays of this size are included with the base. The unit is available in Beech or Grey with matching edges.

The Process
1. First choose your base unit (A, B or C). All base units feature cubbyholes with trays, differing only in the number of columns.
2. Next, choose a top style to stack onto the chosen base. You can select from open shelves, a cupboard unit, or empty cubbyholes. Please note which base they are compatible with first.
3. Then, for each of these units, select a carcass/edge colour that suits your classroom and tastes. Carcass and edge colours will match.
4. Finally, select your tray colour from the options provided. Trays come with the base units only.

Why Metroplan?
This range is unique in that all the units are slimline for use in smaller spaces – 350mm deep compared to the standard 490mm – with base units featuring cubby trays specially designed by Gratnells to fit the smaller cubbyholes. Although the trays are smaller in width and length, they are identical in height to deep Gratnells trays in order to accommodate larger items such as science apparatus, arts & crafts equipment and other practical resources. Cubbyholes also allow trays to be easily removed and will safely hold these heavier items compared to standard tray units with runners. Not only do these slimmer designs optimise space, but they appear far more modern and aesthetically pleasing than bulky alternatives.

By opting for a ‘build-your-own’ piece, you are completely customising your furniture to your needs, whilst keeping your options open if those needs change in the future. Including this cubbyhole unit, there are three different top styles available for Base C, but the units can be used on their own too in the case of smaller classes. Base and top units should be securely joined together using the screw fixings provided, with safety and stability further ensured with the static base.

Construction
This unit is constructed using 18mm thick melamine faced chipboard (MFC); a classroom favourite that assures high-level strength and durability with frequent, heavy use. To complement this is the use of 2mm ABS edges; smooth to the touch, and as attractive as they are protective to both the user and the unit itself. In fact, ABS edges completely eliminate the risk of splinters and scratches to the skin, and protect the MFC against chipping for a full and satisfying lifespan.

With such a high-quality construction, we are proud to offer a 25 year guarantee on this product to stretch your budget further.
