Know before you buy
The bookcase arrives largely assembled, but professional installation is required to secure the unit to your wall using the included Hangman-Tip Kit. Given its weight of over 210 pounds, we strongly recommend professional assistance for placement and anchoring to ensure safety.
To maintain the Dawn finish and wood veneer, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polish, as these can damage the wood grain and the delicate herringbone detailing.
Yes, the Nova is constructed from solid wood and veneer, making it a robust piece of furniture. However, because it is a tall, heavy unit, it must be properly anchored to the wall to prevent tipping, regardless of the weight of the items placed on the shelves.
The three veneered shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity and design aesthetic of the piece. Please check the dimensions to ensure your taller items will fit within the shelf clearance.
The knobs feature a Verde Bronze finish, which offers a sophisticated, slightly aged metallic look. This finish is designed to complement the warm tones of the Dawn wood finish while adding a refined, jewelry-like accent to the piece.
