Know before you buy
No, the bookcase arrives fully assembled. Given its weight of 397 pounds, we recommend having professional assistance available to help move it into your desired space.
The shelf clearance varies between 13.5 inches and 15 inches, providing enough height to accommodate standard hardcovers, art books, and larger decorative objects.
Because the piece is crafted with oak veneer, you can expect unique grain patterns, color shifts, and textures that make each unit one-of-a-kind. These variations are intentional and highlight the organic character of the wood.
The total weight capacity for the entire bookcase is 200 pounds. We recommend distributing heavier items evenly across the shelves to maintain structural integrity.
The brass rails serve both an aesthetic and functional purpose. They provide a refined visual contrast to the Worn Oak finish while acting as a structural element that defines the cubby-style organization of the shelves.
The Alistair Bookcase stands at 96 inches tall, which is exactly 8 feet. Please measure your ceiling height carefully to ensure you have adequate clearance for installation.
