Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this furniture set durable enough to prevent shelves from sagging under the weight of heavy books?
The contemporary construction of this set is designed for long-term stability, featuring a sturdy plinth base that distributes weight evenly across the floor. To ensure the longevity of the shelves and maintain the structural integrity of the "architectural" design, we recommend placing heavier items, such as large hardcovers or encyclopedias, on the bottom-most shelves or inside the lower cabinets to lower the center of gravity and prevent any potential bowing over time.
Does this bookcase set require assembly upon delivery?
One of the primary benefits of this set is that customer assembly is not required. Unlike flat-pack furniture that can be time-consuming and prone to structural instability if not built correctly, these units are delivered with the professional craftsmanship of Rooms To Go. This ensures that the plinth bases are perfectly level and the gold-finish metal pulls are securely installed before the furniture enters your home.
How do I know if this bookcase set will fit in my home office or a smaller apartment?
This set features two matching units with a combined width of 64 inches and a depth of 15 inches. For those in more compact urban spaces or apartments, the individual units (each approximately 32 inches wide) provide the flexibility to be styled together for a grand, built-in look or separated to flank a desk or doorway. The 78-inch height maximizes vertical storage, allowing you to increase your library capacity without sacrificing valuable floor space.
How will the finish of this bookcase hold up in humid climates like Florida or coastal Texas?
This collection features a rich brown finish applied over durable materials designed for the home environment. In regions with high humidity, such as Florida or the Gulf Coast, we recommend maintaining a consistent indoor climate to protect the finish. Our expert care guidelines suggest keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and air conditioning vents, and using a soft, dry cloth for dusting to prevent moisture from sitting on the surface and dulling the refined luster.
What are the advantages of a bookcase with both open shelving and lower cabinets?
This design offers a sophisticated balance of display and "hidden" storage. The three upper open shelves are ideal for showcasing your curated book collection, artwork, or awards, while the lower cabinets with gold-tone pulls provide 15 inches of depth to conceal less aesthetic essentials like printer paper, electronic peripherals, or office binders. This hybrid design is particularly useful for maintaining a professional, clutter-free look during video calls in a home office environment.
What safety precautions should I take with a tall bookcase in a home with children?
Given the impressive 78-inch height of these units, stability is a priority. While the solid plinth base provides an exceptionally sturdy foundation compared to legged furniture, we always recommend following best safety practices by securing tall units to wall studs. This is especially important in households with children or in regions prone to seismic activity, ensuring the piece remains a permanent and safe fixture of your library.
