Know before you buy
Yes, the Stiles Wide Ladder Bookcase includes a tip-over restraint device. We strongly recommend installing this anchor to ensure the unit remains stable, especially if you have children or pets in the home.
Absolutely. The three spacious drawers are designed with full-extension glides and are deep enough to function effectively as a file cabinet for your home office needs.
Each of the nine open shelves has a weight capacity of 20 pounds. This is suitable for standard book collections, decorative accents, and lightweight storage bins.
Assembly is required for this piece. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, which is not included in the box, to complete the setup.
No, the back of the unit is unfinished. Because of this, the bookcase is best positioned against a wall rather than used as a room divider.
The frame is constructed from a combination of solid wood and engineered wood, providing a sturdy structure that balances durability with a refined aesthetic.
