in detail
The STM2 shelf system combines white or black coated birch plywood with polished stainless steel support brackets, creating large and small shelf units by utilising a simple click-and-lock principle. STM2 can be easily assembled by just one person and enhanced – also retrospectively - with Dibond drawers and slide-in hinged doors.
The click-and-lock principle
The simple click-and-lock system ensures a high level of stability and load capacity
The basic principle: stainless steel support brackets, the ends of which are bent a little over 90°, are inserted, tapped gently with a rubber mallet and thus wedged into aluminium sockets where they remain firmly secured.
The design of the STM2 shelf system allows the easy assembly of combinations without drawers and slide-in hinged doors by just one person. The only tool required is a rubber mallet.
Tiny little STM2 hammer
Helpful little wooden tool to give the brackets their perfect fit - and to remove them easily in case of an eventual demounting.
shelves
Birch plywood and luminium sockets embedded in the edging
Material: 15mm birch plywood:
• black phenolic resin coating
• white melamine coating
• available in veneer finish or other colours on request
The shelves are available in the following dimensions:
• Length: 36, 48, 60, (72 for combinations only), 96, and 120 cm
• Depth: 31 and 41 cm
The interlockable design enables the creation of unlimited horizontal shelf combinations.
The length of a STM2 shelf system – depending on the amount of space available – knows no bounds.
The standard distance of 60 cm between the supports determines the actual structure; end sections measuring 48 cm can be found with certain shelf combinations.
Support brackets and feet
Height adjustable feet to compensate for uneven floors and brackets of polished stainless steel; POM height adjustable feet, castors with solid rubber tyres
Bracket lengths and compartment heights:
Bracket length L = 38 cm | Interior compartment height: 36.5 cm
Bracket length M = 28 cm | Interior compartment height: 26.5 cm
Bracket length S = 23 cm | Interior compartment height: 21.5 cm
STM2 is designed as a bookshelf. Two support brackets are inserted into each aluminium socket to achieve a high load capacity. It is also possible to insert just one bracket into each socket for low sideboards or shelves loaded with less or lighter items.
Designation
Apart from the base section, each additional section of a STM2 shelf system costs exactly the same, irrespective of the height of the individual sections, as the quantity and unit prices of the applied components are identical for each section. The price of a combination can be deduced from its designation.
Example: STM2 B+2 180/31

Example: STM2 B+2 180/31
| STM2 | Name of the shelf system | |
| B | Base = bottom shelf with feet | |
| +2 | No. of additional sections | |
| 180 | Length of the shelf = 180 cm | |
| 31 | Depth of the shelves = 31 cm |
Bookend "Buchspanner"
The x-shaped bookend can be easily squeezed together with one hand and clamped between two shelves. The rubber coating at the contact points ensures a non-slip rigid fixing.

Drawers and compartments with slide-in hinged doors
Closed compartments are available as drawers with full extension slides and/or with slide-in hinged doors which can also be integrated into existing STM2 shelf systems
Compartments with slide-in hinged doors and drawers with full extension slides are available for each of the three compartment heights (S, M and L) and for both shelf depths (31 and 41cm). The compartments can also be integrated into existing STM2 combinations.
Material: aluminium composite material Dibond, anodised or white.
Standard widths: 36, 48, 60 and 72 cm

Intermediate shelves for compartments with a slide-in hinged door
For greater organisation: Dibond intermediate shelves that divide the interior into two, three or more additional compartments
Three simple steps and a matter of minutes transform a compartment with a slide-in hinged door into a two or three tier compartment: position the lateral supports, insert the shelf, finished.
The intermediate shelves are available in 1/2 or 1/3 compartment height for each compartment with a slide-in hinged door (others available on request).
An intermediate shelf set consists of two lateral supports and one shelf.
Assembly instructions
Using the detailed assembly instructions, the STM2 shelf system can be easily assembled by just one person. STM2 shelf systems without drawers and slide-in hinged doors are therefore normally shipped by post
Detailed assembly instructions can be downloaded here – sorted according to the actual shelf length – as a PDF file. Certain shelf lengths have been combined in a single instruction manual: for instance, the assembly instructions for 120 cm shelves are also applicable for 96 cm shelves. Moreover, the instruction manuals contain respective details about the two available shelf depths (31 and 41 cm).
