Know before you buy
The Howie bookcase is designed as a freestanding unit. However, given its height of 70.75 inches, we strongly recommend using the included anti-tip hardware to secure it to the wall for safety.
While the manufacturer does not provide a specific weight limit per shelf, the unit is constructed from a blend of solid and engineered wood. It is best suited for books, decorative accents, and lightweight collectibles rather than extremely heavy items like large encyclopedias or heavy stone sculptures.
Assembly is required and involves connecting the various geometric panels. We recommend having two people for the process to ensure the pieces are aligned correctly and the unit is tightened securely.
Yes, because the unit features an open-back design, it can be used as a room divider. Keep in mind that the back of the unit will be visible, so ensure the placement allows for a clean look from both sides.
The shelves vary in size due to the geometric design. While many sections are standard height, some of the smaller cubbies may not fit oversized binders. It is best to measure your specific items against the unit's overall depth of 11.5 inches.
