Know before you buy
You can choose from four sustainably harvested solid hardwoods: Cherry, Maple, Oak, and Walnut. Each option offers a distinct grain pattern and color profile that will naturally age and deepen over time.
Yes, the shelves are adjustable to accommodate books and decor of varying heights. Each shelf is engineered to support up to 75 pounds, making them sturdy enough for heavy hardcovers or art books.
The bookcase is built using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which provides superior structural integrity compared to standard fasteners. Additionally, units 66 inches or taller include a fixed shelf and a vertical divider for added stability and to prevent sagging.
The clear, water-based urethane finish is designed to be low-maintenance and non-toxic. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth as needed; avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the wood's natural luster.
Because each piece is built to order in Vermont, the bookcase is highly customizable within the available size range. You can select the specific width and height that best fits your room's layout.
