Know before you buy
The Tokyo Bookcase is designed as a freestanding unit. Given its significant height of over 118 inches, we strongly recommend securing it to the wall to ensure safety and prevent tipping.
No, the shelves are fixed in place as part of the structural design. The unit is crafted for a streamlined, consistent aesthetic rather than modular customization.
Yes, the Tokyo Bookcase arrives fully assembled and ready for placement. You will not need to handle any tools or complex construction upon delivery.
The frame is constructed from durable black embossed lacquered steel, which is highly resistant to scratches and wear. The Canaletto walnut inserts are high-quality natural wood, so we recommend using coasters or felt pads if placing heavy decorative objects directly on the wood surfaces.
Yes, the two units are independent pieces. While they are designed to look cohesive when placed together, you can certainly separate them to suit your floor plan.
Each unit measures 26.75 inches wide. When placed side-by-side, the total width is 53.5 inches, with a depth of 11 inches.
