Know before you buy
Yes, the shelves are adjustable to accommodate items of varying heights. They are constructed from 0.75-inch thick solid hardwood with a 1.25-inch edge, providing significant structural support for heavy book collections.
Standard wood options offer a clean, uniform grain appearance, while rustic options feature natural character marks like knots and mineral streaks. Choosing a rustic wood provides a more organic, lived-in aesthetic, whereas standard woods offer a more formal and consistent look.
The bookcase features a sturdy plywood back. While it is designed to be placed against a wall, it is finished to complement the overall piece, though it is not intended to serve as a room divider.
The 0.75-inch thick middle divider runs vertically through the center of the unit, providing extra stability and preventing the shelves from sagging over time. This design creates two distinct columns of storage, which is ideal for organizing books by category or size.
Hardwoods like Oak, Quarter Sawn White Oak, and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents and scratches, making them excellent choices for high-traffic areas. If you prefer a smoother grain, Cherry or Brown Maple are also durable options, though they may show wear slightly differently over time.
Because this piece is handcrafted and built-to-order, it is delivered fully assembled. You will only need to install the adjustable shelves once the unit is in its desired location.
