Know before you buy
Yes, assembly is required for this piece. Due to the delicate nature of the glass construction, we recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure all components are aligned and secured correctly.
The base is engineered specifically to support the weight of a full collection while maintaining smooth rotation. Because it is a freestanding unit, ensure it is placed on a level surface to maintain optimal balance and stability.
Absolutely. The Albero features a 360-degree open-back design and a revolving base, making it an ideal choice for placement in the middle of a room where it can be accessed from any angle.
To maintain the glossy finish, use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the surface or compromise the clarity of the glass.
Yes, Tonelli utilizes high-quality, durable glass designed for furniture use. It is built to withstand the weight of books and magazines while meeting the safety standards expected of premium Italian glass craftsmanship.
The geometric zig-zag design creates unique compartments that offer a distinct aesthetic. While it is perfect for standard-sized books and magazines, you may want to measure your larger art books to ensure they fit comfortably within the specific shelf heights.
