How much room is needed in front of shelves?

Furniture Ferret: In order for shelves to be usable, it needs more space than its proper size. You have to be able to access it and stand in front of it to access boxes and other items kept on shelves, and if shelves has doors, it should be possible to open them fully. In general, you will need at least 40-60 cm in front of shelves for access. This means, for example, that shelves that is 60 cm deep needs at least 100 cm space. Fortunately, this extra space does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap as long as this is not expected to disrupt the flow and lead to people bumping into each other in, for example, an office setting.

Questions and answers

How do I measure the space to fit shelves in?

Measure the width and the depth of the floor space where you'd like to put shelves. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the area, as otherwise you get a value larger than the reality. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask a friend to assist, or divide the distance up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you would not like to draw on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pencil there instead. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like skirting boards. Also it may be necessary to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low.

How can one search for shelves using their width, height and length?

Finding shelves in search engines on the Internet by measurements is not straightforward as search engines are best at finding words only. Also, when searching for shelves to fit a given space, a bit narrower items would also suit. Even if some websites allow searching for shelves by measurements, searching many webshops at the same time needs a different solution. We scour many shops and list tens of thousands of items so you can buy the one that fits perfectly.

From the history of furniture: Lustre ware Part 4

Where two hearts in union meet, But the pain of separation Mingles bitter with the I have found this sentimental verse on Sunderland ware only, but it does duty on punch-bowls as well as pitchers.

The little jug on feet is one of those specimens cast in a silverware mould and then lustred. It is made of coarse pottery, as a small chip on one foot shows.

Sunderland and Newcastle are usually classed to gether, and the earliest pot works at these places were opened between 1730 and 1740.

About 1755 Mr. Byers established works at New castle, and in 1762 Messrs. Christopher Thompson and John Maling erected potteries near Sunderland at North Hylton.

In 1817 Messrs. Dawson, and also Messrs. Phillips, opened factories at Hylton-on-Tyne, and at Sunder land and Southwick Messrs. Scott and Company built potteries in 1789, while the Moores built there in 1803. Early in the nineteenth century Dixon, Austin and Company had potteries in the neighbourhood of Sun derland. The pieces made at Newcastle often bear the names of Sewell and Donkin, or of Thomas Fell and Company.

The Newcastle and Sunderland pottery somewhat resembles Staffordshire ware, but is coarser and not so carefully finished. It has a decidedly yellowish colour, and nearly all of the subjects used for decoration have a nautical flavour, showing that they were chiefly used by sailors. There is something breezy, if rather coarse, about the drinking vessels of this ware, and we can imagine the sailors home from a cruise drinking from them and roaring out their choruses, and looking down into the mugs, so many of which had in their interiors a very naturalistic frog.
