Know before you buy
You can choose from nine premium hardwoods, including Brown Maple, Oak, Elm, Sap Cherry, 1/4 Sawn White Oak, Hard Maple, Cherry, Hickory, and Walnut.
Yes, the Manhattan Bookcase is designed with adjustable shelving, allowing you to customize the interior layout to fit everything from tall art books to smaller paperbacks.
The bookcase is available in 36", 48", and 60" widths, allowing you to scale the unit based on your available wall space. The depth remains consistent across all sizes to maintain the classic aesthetic.
The finish is applied to all exterior surfaces and visible interior components. The back panel is typically finished to match the chosen wood type, ensuring a polished look from every angle.
While you can select from a wide range of stain finishes, these are specifically curated for Brown Maple and Oak options. We recommend selecting your wood type first to ensure the stain interacts correctly with the natural grain of the timber.
Because it is constructed from solid hardwood, this bookcase is exceptionally sturdy and capable of supporting heavy loads. However, we always recommend distributing weight evenly across the shelves to maintain structural integrity over time.
