Know before you buy
No, the five shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity of the open-slat design.
Yes, given its tall 79-inch profile, we strongly recommend using the included wall-mounting hardware to ensure stability and prevent tipping.
While specific weight limits per shelf are not provided, the warp-resistant engineered wood construction is designed to support standard collections of books and decorative items.
The bookshelf requires assembly, but the process is straightforward. We recommend having two people available to help maneuver the frame during construction due to the unit's height and weight.
The frame features a durable black powder-coated finish, which is designed to be resistant to everyday wear and minor scuffs.
Because the unit features an open-slat design, it is visually transparent from both sides, making it a great option for defining spaces without blocking light.
