Know before you buy
The product description specifies a fixed 5-shelf configuration. Please contact customer support if you require confirmation on whether these shelves are permanently secured or removable for cleaning.
The unit measures 36 inches wide by 16 inches deep. Ensure you have at least 16 inches of floor clearance to accommodate the base and the sleigh-style design.
Because this piece is handcrafted from solid wood, it is built for high durability. While specific weight limits vary by wood species, it is designed to hold standard hardback book collections and heavy decor items securely.
Given the handcrafted Amish construction, this piece is typically delivered as a single, solid unit. We recommend measuring your doorways and hallways to ensure the 72-inch height and 36-inch width can be maneuvered into your desired room.
Different wood species, such as oak or cherry, have unique grain patterns that absorb stains differently. Selecting a lighter stain on a tighter-grained wood will result in a more uniform finish, while darker stains on open-grained woods will highlight the natural texture of the timber.
