Know before you buy
The base is designed for smooth, 360-degree rotation, allowing you to easily access books or decorative objects from any side without moving the entire unit. It is engineered for stability, ensuring the column remains secure even when fully loaded.
No, the piece arrives fully assembled. Because of its weight and construction, it is ready to be placed in your space immediately upon arrival.
While the unit is robust, it is primarily designed for books and decorative objects. We recommend distributing the weight evenly across the 10 shelves to maintain the balance and structural integrity of the piece.
The oak veneer and lacquer finish are high-quality, but like any fine furniture, they should be treated with care. To maintain the luster, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaning agents or direct, prolonged sunlight.
Each Atlas Column features a signed brass plate on the underside. This plate serves as the official certificate of authentication from Pierre Augustin Rose.
The shelves are fixed in place to maintain the column's geometric integrity and structural stability. Please note the dimensions of your items to ensure they fit within the fixed shelf heights.
