Know before you buy
The bookcase measures 72 inches high, 36 inches wide, and 16 inches deep. Given its height, ensure you have adequate clearance if placing it under low-hanging light fixtures or ceiling fans.
Behind the two doors, you will find one adjustable shelf. This allows you to customize the internal space to accommodate taller items like binders or decorative vases.
The hand-woven Saguran raffia is a natural material that provides a beautiful, dimensional texture. While it is durable for standard home use, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas to maintain the integrity of the weave.
Yes, a tip restraint kit is included with the bookcase. We strongly recommend installing it to secure the unit to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets.
The chrome-plated ferrules and hardware can be kept clean by wiping them down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull the metallic finish over time.
