Arronda Black Bookcase

This unit is an excellent solution for urban living or smaller floor plans. At 40 inches wide and 17 inches deep, it utilizes a compact footprint while maximizing vertical storage with its 66-inch height. The open, architectural frame is specifically designed to allow light to pass through, which helps a room feel more open and airy compared to traditional, solid-back bookcases.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this bookcase. Because it features a unique architectural silhouette and an angled frame, assembling it in place ensures all components are perfectly aligned. We suggest following the included instructions carefully to ensure the structural stability of the four integrated shelves.

Given its 66-inch height and angled silhouette, anchoring this bookcase is essential for safety. We strongly recommend using a furniture tip-over restraint kit to secure the frame directly into a wall stud. This is a critical step for households with children who might attempt to climb the shelves, as well as for residents in regions prone to seismic activity.

Yes, the unit features an architectural design with an angled frame that provides a strong foundation for its four shelves. While the open silhouette is minimalist, the use of solid rubberwood ensures that the frame remains rigid. For optimal long-term performance and to prevent shelf bowing, we recommend placing your heaviest items—such as oversized art books or dense hardcovers—on the lower shelves to maintain a low center of gravity.

This piece is crafted from rubberwood solids and birch veneers. Rubberwood is a preferred choice in high-quality furniture for its density and minimal shrinkage, which provides a stable, warp-resistant frame. The birch veneers offer a smooth, uniform surface for the matte black finish, combining the structural integrity of solid wood with a refined, modern aesthetic.

To preserve the matte appearance and the integrity of the birch veneers, our experts recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Based on our general care guidelines, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, which can damage the finish or create an unwanted sheen. For minor spots, a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water is sufficient, followed immediately by a dry cloth to prevent moisture from sitting on the veneer.
