Melamine Shelf W120D40 White – Ideal for Wider Installations
The Elfa melamine shelf W120D40 White measures 120cm in width and 40cm in depth, making it a practical choice for larger storage needs. Designed to be securely mounted to Elfa’s solid shelf brackets, this shelf provides stability and functionality. However, its chipboard core and lack of moisture resistance may limit its durability in certain environments.

Why I Recommend Bespoke Shelving Instead
Elfa melamine shelves are constructed from 16mm chipboard, which is prone to chipping and swelling when exposed to moisture. This makes them unsuitable for damp spaces or holding items like houseplants. For a superior alternative, I recommend 18mm white-faced and edged moisture-resistant MDF, which I regularly use in my designs and installations.
Bespoke shelving offers unlimited design possibilities. Whether it’s solid oak, white birch ply, or pressed metal, custom shelves provide the flexibility to create unique storage solutions tailored to your needs and style preferences.
Inspiring Customised Storage Projects
Here are examples of bespoke shelving paired with Elfa brackets, demonstrating the versatility and elegance achievable with custom solutions:
- Solid Oak Shelves for Timeless Elegance
- Pressed Metal Shelves for a Unique Finish
- White Birch Ply Shelving in a Modern Space
- Light Grey Shelving on Platinum Framework
These projects showcase how bespoke shelves can elevate any storage system beyond standard options.
