Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed as a freestanding unit. However, because it is a tall, narrow piece, we strongly recommend using a furniture wall anchor kit for safety, especially if you have children or pets in the home.
While the iron construction is quite durable, it is best suited for books, decorative objects, and lighter home accessories. We recommend distributing heavier items on the bottom tiers to maintain the unit's balance.
The bronze finish is relatively low-maintenance, but like most metallic surfaces, it can show dust over time. A quick wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is all you need to keep it looking clean and polished.
Exactly. Because the back is open, whatever wall color or texture is behind the bookshelf will be visible through the frame. It works best against a solid-colored wall or as a room divider if you want to see through to the other side.
No, the shelves are fixed in place as part of the unit's geometric, staggered design. You should measure your tallest books or decor items to ensure they will fit within the vertical clearance of the tiers before purchasing.
