    Hi. I'm looking to buy something to hold lots of Magazine File boxes (32.5cm tall). It's in a small bedroom that I'm turning into small office.

    Something in the line of bookcase. Don't want it too officey looking, if that makes sense.

    Oak would be good.

    Thanks

    Or Ikea Kallax, iirc the shelves have gaps of 33cm which is perfect for magazines and 12 inch albums

    Saw someone storing such on YouTube, looks effective.

    I actually forgot about the Kallax.
    I have both the Billy and the Kallax.
    The Billy is built out to the corner unit still, used to display collectibles, as book, comic and magazine storage including Magazine box files and does it brilliantly.

    The Kallax is also brilliant and very versatile as regards placement and use.
    We have a 4x2 with the fabric "drawers" it can be set up vertically as shelves, horizontal as desk/countertop, can be wall mounted in either orientation too.
    We use ours as understairs storage organiser and love it.
    Love them both really but both do different jobs.
