FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

When customising your GRYD, choosing the right boards are key. Narrow boards (37 cm) can hold up to 60 kg, and wide boards (73 cm) up to 40 kg (FYI: boards with feet are unavailable as heavy-duty boards). If your GRYD is going to be housing heavy objects, make sure you choose “heavy-duty boards” in the configurator; when filling your GRYD furniture, distribute the weight as evenly as possible.

You can also strengthen your GRYD with a metal brace. The brace is available in white or black, is easy to assemble, and holds 80 kg; if you have a load of up to 100 kg, simply double the support with two braces. The strut is not intended for reinforcement as a bench, or something similar. Please contact our customer service by email: support@mycs.com if you have any further questions.

Heavy duty boards are available in black and white—so as well as being a practical solution, they’re a stylish accent for your GRYD.

Yes, it is always necessary to mount our shelves to guarantee their stability. If you’re placing your shelves in the middle of a room, not on a wall, then affix them to the ceiling or the floor. Stabilise them further by adding shelf backs to your design.

Yes, GRYD furniture models can be hung on the wall. For support, choose the discreet wall brackets in 37cm and 73cm, available in black or white.

So that we can ensure that the wall cabinet is securely attached, the wall provided should be as flat as possible. A flat wall will allow the wall brackets to be optimally attached and screwed firmly to the wall. The wall itself should also be as stable as possible. We supply you with a wall bracket and a shelf bracket for each vertical module of your configuration, which are screwed together and placed in the top area of the module. You can choose whether you prefer the brackets in black or in white. Please note that the maximum load per wall bracket must not exceed 100 kg. An Allen key as well as screws and dowels for fastening to brick or concrete walls are also included in the delivery of your wall cabinet. If you have plaster or plasterboard walls, you can unfortunately not use our wall cupboard. For all other wall properties you need the appropriate screw / dowel combinations - it's best to get advice from a hardware store.

Yes, you can enter your exact preferred dimensions for the skirting board cut-outs (baseboard cuts) in the "Review" tab of the configurator. The price is automatically calculated according to the number of cut-outs that need to be made. Please note that this option is not available if you have added legs to your shelf, or if you have drawers or cupboards at the bottom of your shelf.

All shelves are supplied with discreet, height-adjustable feet. They can compensate for any unevenness in the floor, and are independently adjustable in height from 0.5cm to 2cm. Please see this pictured in your configuration.

In addition to these built-in feet, ten other models of shelf feet in wood and metal are also available in the configurator.

Yes, we offer stainless steel ladders with a height of 230cm or 320cm. To order these, please contact our interior design team at support@mycs.com or (0031) 8000 200 360 (Mon-Fri: 9am-6pm; Sat: 10pm-6am GMT).

No, our wardrobe doors and drawers are not lockable.

Yes, absolutely! The default space between shelves is 17cm, but all of our vertical shelf walls are pre-drilled with holes at 32mm intervals, so you can choose where to put each individual shelf during assembly.

The side walls provide a drilled row of holes. In a distance of 32.5 mm the boards can be installed and re-installed flexibly by you. The holes have a diameter of 3 mm which makes them really discreet. Please note that if you choose backwalls, you may not flexibly re-install the boards anymore as the backwalls are placed between them. Only boards behind doors can still be reorganised because they are a bit shorter.

You can flexibly add back panels in all colours and woods available for the shelf modules in the configurator.

Choose shelf backs if you want to add extra stability to your furniture. We advise fixing your shelves to the wall for your own safety and to stabilise your shelves, and shelf backs make this easier. You can either add shelf backs to particular sections of your shelf (to create an alcove, for example), or add them to the entire shelf.

Yes, of course. Yes, of course. We offer glass doors for our GRYD system. Please check our showcase . You will find the glass doors at the configurator here: COLOURS - FRONT PANELS - GLASS.

When designing your shelves, choose the height you need from our configurator, leaving a gap of 5cm from the actual height of your ceiling.

Your health is a priority, so we only use materials with high quality standards. Our European-produced finishes are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and approved for household use.

Sustainability and responsibility in the production process are part of our company culture, and one of our highest priorities. Our high-quality wood and veneer comes from established European providers.

Our boards come in widths of 36cm and 72cm can carry 20kg, or up to 60kg with added support (see Heavy Duty Boards and Braces). Please note weight must be distributed across the whole length of the board.

Wood is a natural product—as every tree grows individually, the wood from each tree is unique in colour and texture, and the same type of wood from different trees can vary in structure and colour. Every piece of MYCS furniture is one-of-a-kind—unique to the tree it came from.

Our table tops are pre-oiled, but we recommending re-oiling it before use and continuing to do so periodically to keep it looking its best. The oil protects your table, revitalises the wood, and has several advantages: it's easy to use, doesn't leave a film, is waterproof, and good for the environment.

Clean the surface of the furniture with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid using any abrasive sponges or solvents. Our wooden surfaces are not oiled, but we recommend doing so in order to protect the wood from marks and other everyday wear and tear. Use environmentally-friendly, non-pigmented oils.

Just clean your upholstered furniture with a damp cloths. Please don't use soapy water or other cleaning agents.

The best way to care for your leather sofa is to dust the leather with a dry cloth from time to time. Under no circumstances should the leather be cleaned with soapy water or other cleaning agents.

We have 4 different types of leather to cover your sofa with. The velvety nubuck leather, the soft aniline leather with an open structure, the robust, extra-coated pigmented leather and a butter-soft vegan leather.

Leather is available from MYCS as a cover for our FLAYR, TYME and PYLLOW sofa systems, as well as for our FYNE cushions.

The following colours are available for the following leathers:
Pigmented leather: Bordeaux red, purple red, taupe beige, white.
Aniline leather: Slate grey, Black
Nubuck leather: Taupe, Walnut Brown, Cognac, Olive Green
Vegan leather: Slate grey, Gravel grey, Grey brown, Coffee brown, Cognac, Taupe beige, Cream white

How sensitive the leather is depends on its type. Our aniline leather is definitely one of the more sensitive types and is therefore not so well suited for heavy use by children or pets. Pigmented and vegan leathers, on the other hand, are quite robust and can withstand a lot. Our nubuck leather is not insensitive, but suede develops its own character and charm through partial wear. So you'll find the right leather for every type of use at MYCS.

Every leather is different and has its own characteristics. Just like on any skin, you can see the markings of life, such as pores, stitches or scars. When dyeing, deviations can occur due to this skin-specific structure. But this is what gives each piece of leather furniture its own unique radiance.

Leather is a high-quality natural material. Its individual structure and artful processing make leather products a stylish eye-catcher in any home. It is also the perfect upholstery material. Leather is allergy-friendly and absorbs neither dust nor mites nor smoke. It breathes and adapts to room temperature and humidity. It also feels great and looks outrageously good. What's more, it is stretchable and keeps its perfect shape for a long time. Even abrasion and sunlight cannot harm its charm. If treated well, your leather product will age with class and style and stay with you for a lifetime.

Of course, you shouldn't do without a sofa in the best leather quality if animal welfare is important to you. That's why, in addition to our leather made from animal skins, we also offer vegan leather, which is in no way inferior to real leather in terms of quality.

Our leather covers are not removable. But at best they last a lifetime.
