Know before you buy
Yes. While the internal diamond-shaped holder is specifically designed for wine bottles, the two additional shelves are versatile enough to hold books, decorative objects, or everyday essentials.
The shelves are designed to be repositioned to accommodate items of varying heights, allowing you to customize the internal layout of the bookcase to suit your specific storage needs.
The unit is designed for wall mounting, but please consult your professional installer to ensure you have the correct hardware for your specific wall type, such as drywall, masonry, or studs.
Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch the polished stainless steel or dull the black painted finish.
The unit typically arrives with the main structure intact, but some minor assembly or shelf installation will be required. We recommend having two people assist with the mounting process due to the weight and dimensions of the piece.
