Know before you buy
The etagere is crafted from a combination of durable steel and wood, providing a sturdy frame that balances industrial strength with a refined aesthetic.
While the open-back design is ideal for showcasing decor against a wall, it also allows the piece to function as a room divider if you prefer to display items from both sides.
The unit weighs 135 pounds, so it is a substantial piece of furniture. While it does not require professional installation, we recommend having a second person assist you during assembly and placement to ensure safety.
The finish is easy to maintain; simply wipe the surfaces down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the wood and metal surfaces.
Yes, the Polk Etagere features a transitional style, which is specifically designed to bridge the gap between modern and traditional decor, making it highly versatile for various interior themes.
