An open bookcase of two solid wood ladders and five shelves, 72″ high and 36″ wide. It works against a wall in a living room or beside a desk, and it is open from both sides, so it also works as a light divider in a room.
How it’s made
Solid white oak or solid American walnut with a matte oil. The shelves are 1″ thick and sit in the rails on steel pins, and each holds 40 lbs, enough for a row of heavy books without bowing. A wall anchor comes in the box; use it, especially with children at home.
What to measure
It is 36″ wide, 14″ deep and 72″ high. Measure your ceiling and any baseboard, and leave a few inches above it to tip it upright during assembly. It ships in 1 long box. Assembly with the tools included takes about an hour, easier with two people.
