Know before you buy
No, the included ladder is designed for decorative purposes only and should not be used to climb the bookshelf.
Yes, the angled ledges are removable, allowing you to customize the shelf surface based on whether you prefer a flat display or an angled one for books and art.
The bookshelf stands at 98 inches tall. We recommend measuring your ceiling height carefully to ensure you have enough clearance for the unit, especially if you plan to install it in a room with standard 8-foot ceilings.
Given its height of 98 inches and weight of over 170 pounds, we strongly recommend anchoring this piece to the wall to ensure stability and safety.
To keep the piece in top condition, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the smoked pine finish or the black iron frame.
The Bane Bookshelf typically arrives in sections and requires assembly. Due to its substantial weight and size, we recommend having at least two people assist with the setup process.
