Checks
| Check | Reads | Holds to | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shelf sag | shelf-1, 664 mm span at 25 kg/m: 0.547 mm at once, 0.985 mm after creep | 1.11 mm; up to 690 mm span or 28.5 kg/m | holds |
| Tipping | Empty tips at 10.2°, 27.9 N at the top; with books tips at 9.66°, 95 N at the top | Anchored to the wall | stands |
| Racking | Held square by the the back | square |
- Stock stiffness, density and creep are typical published figures, not measured on this sheet.
- Creep multiplies the first sag by 1 + k_def, Eurocode 5's factor for indoor use.
- Shelves are taken as simply supported; the back's stiffening is ignored.
- Books load the bottom and every shelf at 25 kg per metre, centred on the shelf's depth.
- The 200 N pull at the top is assumed, not taken from a standard.
- The wall anchor counts as a pass; the anchor and the wall it goes into are not checked.

| Gauge | Target | Within | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weigh the unit as it ships: 34.73 kg, within 0.11 kg so that a missing piece shows. | 34.73 kg | ± 0.114 kg | 30 s |
| Tape the packed length: 1834 mm. | 1834 mm | ± 5 mm | 15 s |
| Tape the packed width: 734 mm. | 734 mm | ± 5 mm | 15 s |
| Tape the packed height: 91 mm. | 91 mm | ± 5 mm | 15 s |
The targets come from the design; a case passes only if its design checks pass. Nothing here was measured.

Who makes it
Today 1 steps run here, 10 by partners and 9 are bought. The plan runs 11 here, 0 by partners and buys 9.
Machines here: cnc router, packing bench. Partner capabilities wanted: none. Each part takes its share of its sheets by area, so the offcuts are charged to the parts cut beside them. Hardware is counted from the fixings: three confirmats at each end of a fixed panel (two at the kick rail), four pins under each loose shelf and a nail every 150 mm along the back's seams. Sheets are charged as the panel saw nests them today; the router's nest leaves room for its bit and takes 3 sheets. Router time is each program's feed and rapid moves at their programmed rates plus tool changes; the boring station takes 20 s a part and 6 s a hole; hand steps are typical times, not measured. Edge banding and a finish are not in the recipe yet, so neither is drawn. Standard chains use typical published yields and loadings, rounded; none is measured on a line this network runs.
In CRE8 VIRTUAL, plant floor opens the plant in front of you; plant load flatpack machines and boxes it, and plant load home has its owner build it on a room's floor; plant play runs the clock. The scenes play the default bookcase.
