Practical steel bookcase for compact offices

The HON S42ABCL is a three-shelf metal bookcase finished in putty enamel over a rust-inhibiting phosphate pretreatment. Its heavy-gauge steel frame is built for long service life in daily commercial use. The unit measures 34 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 41 inches high, fitting easily into smaller workspaces.

Shelf depth and load limit define usable space

Each shelf provides 12 inches of depth, including the fixed bottom shelf, which limits the size of binders or boxes that can be stored. Movable shelves adjust in half-inch increments, but every shelf carries a maximum load of 82 lb, so heavily loaded archives may exceed the rating. The fixed base shelf cannot be repositioned for taller items.

Simple assembly with common alignment issues

The bookcase ships as a single unit requiring basic bolt-together assembly with standard tools. Pre-drilled holes generally align well, though the thin back panel can bow if screws are over-tightened. Ensure the frame is squared on a level floor before final tightening to prevent shelf wobble.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 34-inch and 41-inch versions?

This model is a single 34-inch-wide, 41-inch-high bookcase with three shelves; no other width or height variant is listed.

What does the 82 lb per-shelf rating mean when the bookcase is fully loaded?

Every movable shelf and the fixed bottom shelf is rated for 82 lb, so each level can hold that weight independently.

Does the 1/2-inch shelf adjustment use a standard hole pattern or a proprietary system?

The shelves adjust on 1/2-inch increments built into the heavy-gauge steel frame; no proprietary hardware is mentioned.
