Know before you buy
Yes, the Lexington is designed as a modular system. You can mix and match the wood, metal, ceramic, and leather shelf options to create a custom aesthetic that fits your specific interior.
The bookcase measures 128 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 71.75 inches high. Given its significant width, ensure you have a clear wall span of at least 11 feet to accommodate the full unit.
The leather shelves use a high-quality hide with a thickness of 1.8 to 2mm, making them durable enough for books and decorative objects. Like any fine leather, they should be kept away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to maintain their finish.
Due to the size and modular nature of the Lexington, professional assembly is highly recommended. The metal frame requires precise leveling and secure wall mounting to ensure stability and safety.
The ceramic shelves are robust and provide a sleek, modern look. They are generally low-maintenance and resistant to scratches, but they should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth to avoid damaging the finish.
The Lexington is a modular system, but it is not designed for frequent height adjustments once the frame is anchored. We recommend finalizing your desired shelf configuration during the initial installation process.
