Know before you buy
The five elm wood shelves are designed to slide along the iron frame, allowing you to shift them horizontally. This movement lets you transition from a traditional, symmetrical rectangular look to a more dynamic, asymmetrical geometric arrangement.
No, the Mary Lou Bookcase is a freestanding unit. Its robust iron frame provides the necessary weight and balance to stand securely on its own.
The shelves feature a distressed wood finish that highlights the natural grain of the elm. This gives the piece an authentic, lived-in industrial character rather than a perfectly smooth, uniform look.
With a depth of 15 inches and a total height of 90 inches, this bookcase is well-suited for larger items. The adjustable nature of the shelves allows you to create taller openings to accommodate oversized books or binders as needed.
The assembly is straightforward, though the sliding mechanism requires careful alignment of the shelves within the iron frame. We recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure the shelves are properly seated during installation.
