Know before you buy
No, the bookcase arrives fully assembled and ready to use. You can place it directly in your desired space upon delivery.
The shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity of the staggered design. They cannot be moved or adjusted.
Yes, it is designed as a freestanding unit. However, given its height of 83 inches, we recommend using a wall-anchor kit for added safety and stability.
The shelves are crafted from reclaimed pine. The wood undergoes a bleaching process to remove old finishes and is treated to achieve a soft, natural tone that highlights the wood grain.
Because it features an open-back design, it works beautifully in both settings. It looks great against a wall, but it is also finished well enough to serve as a semi-transparent room divider.
While there is no specific weight limit provided, the iron frame and reclaimed pine construction are durable and suitable for standard book collections and decorative display items.
