What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Chicago 3 Box for its architectural design and exceptional build quality. The modular nature allows for a personalized storage solution that feels both sturdy and sophisticated. Many reviewers highlight the seamless integration of the powder coated steel frame with the warm wood finishes. This piece serves as a functional focal point in modern living spaces. While it represents a significant investment, the durability and timeless aesthetic justify the cost for those seeking long term style and utility. The assembly process is straightforward and well documented.
Know before you buy
Each of the three floating boxes provides 15 inches of vertical clearance, which is generous enough to accommodate most standard hardcovers, art books, and decorative objects.
The Chicago 3 Box is designed to be freestanding and features adjustable feet to ensure it sits level on uneven floors. While it is BIFMA rated for stability, we always recommend using a wall anchor if you have small children or pets in the home.
Assembly is required for this piece. You will need to attach the powder-coated steel uprights to the floating boxes, but the process is straightforward and all necessary hardware is included.
No, the three boxes are fixed in their positions as part of the unit's structural design. The fixed layout is what creates the signature negative space aesthetic.
The unit is available in Walnut, Maple, or Cherry veneers. Each option provides a distinct wood grain and color profile, all paired with the same durable powder-coated steel frame.
