Know before you buy
Yes, the glass shelves are adjustable, allowing you to customize the spacing to accommodate books or decorative objects of varying heights.
The unit is designed as a wall-mounted system. Given the weight of the glass and stainless steel construction, it must be securely anchored to a structural wall to ensure stability.
While the tempered glass is highly durable, we recommend distributing weight evenly across the shelves. Avoid placing exceptionally heavy items on a single point to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic lines of the piece.
Due to the precision required for mounting the stainless steel uprights and ensuring the glass shelves are perfectly level, professional installation is strongly recommended for this piece.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth with a mild glass cleaner for the shelves. For the polished stainless steel uprights, a dry microfiber cloth or a specialized stainless steel cleaner will keep the finish free of fingerprints and streaks.
