Know before you buy
Yes, this unit arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. All necessary hardware is included, but you will need basic tools to put the steel frame and shelves together.
No, the five shelves on the Ponsford bookcase are fixed. Their asymmetrical, staggered arrangement is designed to provide structural stability and a specific visual aesthetic.
The unit is crafted from durable steel, making it quite sturdy for standard home use. While it is excellent for books and decor, we recommend placing your heaviest items on the bottom shelves to maintain the best center of gravity.
The bookshelf measures 38 inches wide by 16 inches deep. Given its 72-inch height, it is a substantial piece that works best against a wall where it can be properly secured.
The blackened bronze finish has a matte, industrial quality that is generally forgiving. A simple wipe-down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is all that is needed to keep the steel frame looking clean.
