Know before you buy
No, the five gallery shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity and mid-century aesthetic of the open frame design.
While specific weight limits per shelf are not provided, the unit is constructed from a sturdy blend of rubberwood solids, mango wood veneer, and MDF, making it suitable for standard book collections and decorative display items.
As a freestanding unit, it is designed to stand on its own, but we always recommend using the included anti-tip hardware to secure the bookcase to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets.
The bookcase arrives with assembly required. You will need to attach the frame and shelves, so it is recommended to have a second person assist you due to the unit's 118-pound weight.
The open-back design is perfect for placing the bookcase against a wall or using it as a room divider. Keep in mind that whatever is behind the unit will be visible through the shelves, so consider your wall color or room layout accordingly.
