Know before you buy
The Harper bookcase is constructed from solid Rubberwood hardwood, not veneer. This provides a sturdy, durable frame that holds up well over time.
The unit features five shelves in total: one fixed shelf for structural stability and four adjustable shelves. This allows you to customize the height of the storage areas to accommodate taller books, decor, or binders.
While it is a freestanding unit, it includes tip-resistant hardware. We strongly recommend installing this hardware to secure the bookcase to the wall, especially if you have children or pets.
The wood is hand-finished with a Dark Walnut Brown stain that highlights the natural grain patterns of the Rubberwood. It is sealed with a protective NC lacquer, which gives it a smooth, durable sheen while keeping the wood's texture visible.
The bookcase requires assembly, and while one person can manage it, the piece is substantial at over 76 pounds. Having a second person to help hold panels in place during the initial setup will make the process much smoother.
No, this is an open-back design. This creates an airy, minimalist look that allows your wall color to show through, which is great for styling against a painted or wallpapered accent wall.
