Know before you buy
Yes, all four shelves are adjustable. This includes the single shelf located behind the two doors and the three open shelves above, allowing you to customize the storage space to fit your specific items.
The bookcase features a puck light at the top that is controlled by a convenient touch switch. This provides soft illumination to highlight your display items without the need for external wiring or complicated setups.
Yes, the unit is equipped with built-in adjustable levelers. These allow you to fine-tune the balance of the bookcase to ensure it sits perfectly flat even if your floors are slightly uneven.
While the unit is freestanding, it comes with integrated anti-tip hardware. We strongly recommend installing this hardware to secure the bookcase to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets.
The bookcase features a 'Tuxedo' black paint finish applied over pecan veneers. It offers a sophisticated, matte-leaning aesthetic that blends modern clean lines with the natural texture of the underlying wood.
This bookcase arrives requiring assembly. Because the unit weighs over 200 pounds, we recommend having two people available to assist with the setup and positioning of the piece.
