Item detailsMaterials, dimensions, what is in the box
Industrial wall bookshelf style meets freestanding storage in this metal-frame design with rustic brown particle-board shelves and staggered compartments for books and display pieces. The tall bookshelf measures 78.7 inches high, with an open back that keeps the wall visible behind your favorite objects. Its black frame contrasts with the wood-grain shelf appearance for an industrial look.
Give books, collectibles, plants, and small art pieces their own places instead of crowding them onto a tabletop. Different shelf heights let you arrange a mix of objects across the nine-tier layout and ten compartments. As a living room bookshelf, it brings everyday storage and decorative display together, whether you group novels in one area or spread framed pictures and vases throughout.
The freestanding, non-folding structure includes a 0.78-inch-thick metal frame and adjustable feet. Assembly is required, with the necessary hardware and step-by-step instructions included. Plan its position using the overall width and depth before assembling, then organize the open back bookcase around the books and objects you want close at hand.
