Know before you buy
Yes, assembly is required for this piece. Given its size and weight of over 174 pounds, we recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure safety and stability.
This piece features an open-back design. This allows it to feel airy and light, making it a great choice if you want to display it against a wall with interesting wallpaper or paint.
The etagere has a 'well-traveled' aesthetic, meaning it features moderate distressing and accent paint finishes. It is designed to look like a vintage European find, so expect intentional variations in the wood grain and finish rather than a perfectly uniform, factory-new appearance.
Yes, it is constructed from a robust blend of oak, maple, and hickory veneers over poplar solids, which provides excellent structural integrity. However, as with any tall shelving unit, we recommend using the included anti-tip hardware to secure it to the wall for maximum safety.
The unit stands 90.25 inches tall, 52 inches wide, and 18 inches deep. Be sure to measure your ceiling height and floor space carefully, as the height is significant and will dominate the vertical space in most rooms.
Absolutely. While it is a classic choice for a living room, its European provincial style works beautifully in a dining room for displaying serveware or in a bedroom to hold books and decorative accents.
