Know before you buy
No, this piece arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box.
While the iron construction is durable, we recommend distributing weight evenly across the five fixed shelves to maintain stability. It is best suited for standard books and lightweight decorative items.
Yes, the unit is designed to be stable on level surfaces. However, given its height of 73 inches, we always recommend using a wall-anchoring kit for added safety, especially in homes with children or pets.
No, the five shelves are fixed in place as part of the unit's structural, asymmetrical design.
The unit features a leg height of 2.5 inches, providing a small gap between the floor and the lowest shelf.
The iron is finished with a protective black coating, making it suitable for standard indoor environments. To keep it in the best condition, avoid placing it in areas with high humidity or direct moisture.
