Know before you buy
A live edge means the natural, irregular edge of the wood slab is preserved rather than cut into a straight, uniform line. Because this follows the tree's original growth pattern, every bookcase will have a unique, organic shape that highlights the wood's natural character.
The steel base provides a rigid, industrial-strength foundation that is highly resistant to warping or shifting. It offers a sleek, modern contrast to the organic wood shelves while ensuring the unit remains stable even when fully loaded with books.
The Elkins Bookcase is handcrafted to your specific dimensions and shelf count, but the shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity of the live edge design. Be sure to consider the height of the items you plan to store when selecting your shelf count.
Each wood species offers distinct grain patterns and color variations. For example, Rustic Cherry tends to have a warmer, smoother grain, while Wormy Maple or Rustic Walnut feature more dramatic knots and mineral streaks that emphasize the rustic aesthetic.
Because this piece is handcrafted as a solid, high-quality unit, it typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal attachment required for the base. Please check your specific delivery instructions, as the solid wood construction makes these pieces quite heavy.
To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Since this is solid wood, it is best to keep the bookcase away from direct heat sources or extreme humidity changes to prevent the wood from expanding or contracting.
