Know before you buy
Yes, this is a freestanding unit designed for stability. However, given its height of 79 inches and weight of 128 pounds, we strongly recommend using a wall-anchor kit if you have children or pets in the home to prevent accidental tipping.
The aluminum material gives the bookcase a sleek, industrial, and modern aesthetic that feels much lighter and more contemporary than traditional wood shelving. It is highly durable and resistant to warping, making it a long-lasting choice for heavy book collections.
The open back design allows your wall color or wallpaper to show through, which can make the room feel more spacious. While it looks great against any wall, keep in mind that the back of your wall will be visible, so ensure the surface behind the unit is clean and visually appealing.
At 19 inches deep, this unit has a larger footprint than standard bookshelves, which are typically 10 to 12 inches deep. It is best suited for rooms where you have enough floor space to accommodate the depth without obstructing walkways.
Yes, some assembly is required. Because of the unit's size and the weight of the aluminum components, we recommend having two people available to help with the assembly and positioning process.
