Altro Flat Bookcase Strip - 1829 x 19mm - Satin Chrome Plated (On Solid Brass)

Bad quality product, bad stock control.

Received 20 of these all badly plated, also badly packed and damaged on arrival. Arranged for replacements which were damaged by courier again. Had several conversations, where I asked for stock to be checked before sending more, Ironmongery Direct had to be pushed to do this properly. it turned out that the whole batch was faulty and no more would be available for months.

Toni strip

Nice quality Toni strip. The Strip came in a ridged cardboard tube , Unfortunately several lengths where not dead flat and straight, no damage to tube so I don’t know why it should be like this. Being solid brass it’s prone to bending easily, other than having to straighten a few lengths prior to fitting, I’m very happy with the product and the brushed stainless effect on brass is clever and effective.

Decent product

I've used this bookcase strip for a good few years and its decent quality and importantly they are accurately trimmed to size with the holes accuratly placed. I've used cheaper ones and had issues with shelves wobbling when fitted due to the holes not lining up. If I need a number of them the same length I screw 4 at a time down on some MDF and cut them to length all at the same time rather than cutting one at a time with a 1mm cutting disk on a 4" grinder.. Works for me. :-)

Excellent product

Used 16 lengths for a new library system in conjunction with the heavy duty clips and delighted with the outcome. Make sure you use the stepped router cutter which also cuts the deeper groove to give clearance for the clips. Secure with Spax 3.5 x 20mm stainless screws. Note that there is a slight variation in the cut off of the strips so the distance from the top of the strip to the first slot varies slightly. This is easily overcome by using the top of the first slot as a reference when squaring off the end of the grooves.

Great for a professional finish

I purchased solid brass bookcase strips for a customers job. I was well impressed with the quality of this product which in turn made my work look more professional. My customer is over the moon
