Briar Hill Natural Door Pier

Styling the three open top shelves is an excellent opportunity to showcase your personality without creating clutter. Our design experts recommend a "rule of three" approach: mix vertical items like books or tall vases with horizontal elements like decorative bowls or framed photos. By leaving some "negative space" between items, you ensure the unit's traditional details—such as the pilastered corners and framed molding—remain visible, giving your living room a professional, curated look.

Yes, this unit is specifically well-suited for smaller living spaces or apartments where floor space is a premium. With a narrow 26-inch width and a 19-inch depth, it fits easily into tight corners or beside a TV console. Its 78-inch height maximizes vertical storage, allowing you to utilize the upper reaches of your room. The combination of open shelving for display and a hidden cabinet and drawer for essentials helps maintain a clean, organized aesthetic in a compact layout.

Stability is a core component of this design, featuring a sturdy plinth base that grounds the 78-inch tall structure. However, for any tall and narrow cabinet, especially in homes with children or pets, we strongly recommend the use of an anti-tip kit. Anchoring the unit directly to a wall stud provides the necessary security to prevent accidental tipping, ensuring the unit remains a safe and permanent fixture in your living space.

To preserve the integrity of the soft natural tone, our care guide recommends dusting the unit regularly with a clean, soft cloth to prevent grit buildup. For minor stains, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, and always follow up immediately with a dry cloth to ensure no moisture lingers. To protect the wood over the long term, avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners or polishes containing silicone, which can alter the finish's appearance over time.

This pier is designed with a traditional plinth base, which provides a solid, continuous foundation that rests directly on the floor. This construction method offers superior structural stability compared to furniture with high legs. Aesthetically, the plinth base combined with stepped edges and pilastered corners creates a timeless, "built-in" look, making the piece feel like a foundational part of your home’s architecture rather than just a freestanding item.

With a depth of 19 inches, this pier is designed to accommodate most standard media components. The three open top shelves are ideal for items that require airflow or easy access, while the bottom panel-style door and single drawer provide essential hidden storage. These compartments are perfect for organizing gaming controllers, remote controls, manuals, or extra cables, keeping your primary entertainment area streamlined and free of visual clutter.
