B&M has introduced a new £25 bedroom furniture item that bears a striking resemblance to a much pricier design. The popular high street chain, known for its budget-friendly home essentials, is now offering the Spaceways Four Tier Narrow Storage Rack.
According to the product description, the rack features four tiers and includes connectors for adding a garment rail, which is sold separately. B&M describes the design as 'perfect for bedrooms, hallways or utility rooms where space is at a premium.'
Product Details and Comparable Design
The full product description states: "Keep your home neat and tidy with this practical four-tier narrow storage rack. The modular design lets you build a storage system that works for your space. Connectors are included so you can add a garment rail (sold separately) for even more versatility. Perfect for bedrooms, hallways or utility rooms where space is at a premium."
The four-tier rack arguably looks similar to Argos' Habitat Kids Monty Standing Tall Bookcase, but that piece is priced at £115. The designs are not identical: the Argos bookshelf measures H151 x W80 x D40cm, while the B&M rack is H151cm x W42 x D40cm, making the cheaper option considerably narrower.
Shopper Considerations
Despite the size difference, shoppers may find both designs offer a comparable look and function. Both feature a tall white frame with brown open shelves for easy storage. Bargain hunters might be drawn to the B&M lookalike, though some customers may still prefer the pricier Argos version. Interested shoppers can compare images on each retailer's website.
The Argos product description says: "The Habitat Kids Monty Standing Tall Bookcase gives your child's room organised storage that keeps their favourite things on display. It's got four wide shelves, so there's plenty of space for storybooks, action figures, photo frames, and anything else they want to show off. The strong steel frame stands up to daily use, while the cream and natural wood effect finish keeps things light and fresh. It's tall enough to make the most of your wall space without taking up too much floor area. The four shelves are fixed in place, so everything stays nice and stable. Each shelf holds up to 10kg, that's enough for books, toys and decorative bits without worrying about sagging. Wall fixings are included and it's really important to use them, this unit's over 60cm high so securing it to the wall prevents tipping and keeps your child safe. Arrives flat-packed with clear instructions, two people recommended for assembly to make the job easier."
An Argos reviewer who purchased the product commented: "Bought this for my daughter's bedroom and she loves it. It was easy to put together (good to have two people as it is quite heavy to move around) and it looks very smart."
