Bookcases & Pedestals

As office spaces and workforces get larger, so does the amount of documentation that requires storage. Whether this be informational, shared documents or private and confidential files, our range of pedestals and bookcases offer a variety of storage options. Here at Cromwell, we offer pedestals and bookcases from brands such as Lee & Plumpton® and TC®.

What are Bookcases and pedestals?

Bookcases and pedestals are standing storage units, often made from wood, steel or chipboard that are essentials in any office environment. Often, every workstation has a pedestal with drawers so that employees can store private or confidential documents and belongings securely.

Why Bookcases and pedestals?

Bookcases and pedestals are essential for storage, organisation and security purposes. In offices large or small, documents of a public, confidential and strictly confidential nature are commonplace. It is crucial that companies protect their confidential information in locked storage units, such as our mobile pedestals, while bookcases allow residence for public or informative documents, books or leaflets. For businesses to run smoothly, they must be organised, with information ready and available to those who may need it. Outside of electronic filing protected with encryption, physical documentation stored in a locked drawer is the most reliable form of secure storage, allowing files of all types and purposes to be organised properly. Furthermore, our range of pedestals and bookcases are stylish and durable, built to match the colour schemes of modern offices.

There are several different types of bookcases and pedestals, all of which are intended to accommodate any office environment.

• Fixed Pedestal   -   These pedestals can be attached to the underneath of a desk, saving space and providing easy access to documents and files, with fully extendable drawers.

• Mobile Pedestal   -   Mobile pedestals are sets of drawers on castors, ensuring easy manoeuvrability and portability. They are ideal for flexible workplaces where office requirements change. Fully lockable, they provide excellent storage and security options.

• Bookcase   -   Our bookcases come in different sizes, with some wide, low 2-shelf bookcases and other taller, more slim 4-shelf models.

Considerations when choosing a bookcase or pedestal

• Location - Consider where you want to locate your bookcase or pedestal before purchasing. For instance, if you'd like to fix the pedestal underneath a large desk, a fixed pedestal would be ideal. If you have room to spare and need to store some books, a tall bookcase would work well.

• Documentation - Documents come in all shapes and sizes, from files to paper, and books to folders. Our range can cater to all of these options, so it's important to choose the right bookcase or pedestal to suit the type of document you want to store.

• Confidentiality - It is also crucial to consider the confidentiality levels of documents you want to store in the bookcase or pedestal. Lockable, mobile pedestals are ideal for highly confidential documents that can be moved around without being compromised. Public books and informative pamphlets are suitable for storage in bookcases.
