Know before you buy
Yes, the bookshelf is designed with solid rubberwood support rods that provide a sturdy, durable frame. While it is robust, we recommend placing heavier items on the bottom shelves to maintain the best center of gravity for the unit.
No, the Arcus is designed as a freestanding unit. However, as with any tall furniture piece, we always recommend using a wall anchor kit if you have small children or pets to prevent accidental tipping.
The bookshelf requires assembly, but it is straightforward. You will need to attach the shelves to the support rods using the included hardware. Most people can complete the setup in about 30 to 45 minutes with basic tools.
Absolutely. Because the Arcus features an open-back design and a finished aesthetic on all sides, it works beautifully as a room divider or a sculptural piece placed away from a wall.
The oak veneer is resilient, but it should be treated like any fine wood furniture. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, which can damage the veneer over time.
