Know before you buy
This unit is listed in good condition, meaning it has been well-maintained and remains structurally sound. While you may find minor signs of wear consistent with previous use, it is fully functional and ready for immediate placement in your home.
The open back design means the unit is not intended to sit flush against a wall if you want to hide cords or outlets, but it does allow for a lighter, more airy aesthetic. It works beautifully as a room divider or a floating display piece since both sides are accessible.
While the unit is designed as a freestanding piece, its significant height of 74.5 inches means it is always recommended to use an anti-tip kit if you have children or pets, or if you are placing it on uneven flooring.
No, this piece does not require assembly. It arrives as a solid, pre-constructed unit, so you can place it exactly where you need it immediately.
Yes, a 12-inch depth is the industry standard for most bookshelves, providing ample space for standard hardcovers, paperbacks, and decorative objects without the unit protruding too far into your walkway.
