Know before you buy
Each of the four sections provides a vertical clearance of 12.5 inches and a depth of 11.5 inches, which is sufficient for most standard hardcover books and display items.
The doors feature a classic lift-and-slide mechanism. They lift upward and glide back into the cabinet, allowing you to keep the doors open while browsing or displaying your collection without them obstructing the room.
Yes, the Colbran bookcase is handcrafted from solid wood with several species and finish options available. This allows you to select a tone that complements your current home decor.
Exposed mortise joints are a hallmark of traditional Amish craftsmanship. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they provide superior structural integrity and durability compared to standard mechanical fasteners.
Clear glass is straightforward to clean with standard glass cleaner. Leaded glass, which features decorative metal caming, requires a bit more care to ensure dust does not accumulate between the glass panes and the decorative lead lines.
As a piece of handcrafted solid wood furniture, it is typically delivered fully assembled or in minimal sections to ensure the integrity of the joinery. Please ensure you have a clear path to your desired room, as the solid wood construction makes the unit substantial.
