Know before you buy
Yes. Because the unit features a finished backside, it is designed to look polished from every angle, making it an ideal choice for floating in the middle of a room.
The unit includes adjustable feet glides, which allow you to level the bookcase easily if your floors are slightly uneven.
Some assembly is required to put the piece together. While it is straightforward, we recommend having a second person on hand to help with positioning the shelves and frame.
Yes, every unit includes an anti-tip hardware kit. We strongly recommend installing this to securely anchor the bookcase to the wall for added stability and safety.
To maintain the finish, simply dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polish, as these can damage the wood veneer over time.
