Helmken Espresso Bookcase

To preserve the rich espresso finish and rustic charm, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For minor stains, use a cloth dampened with mild soap and water, followed immediately by a dry wipe to prevent moisture from sitting on the surface. We advise avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives, as these can compromise the integrity of the finish over time.

For any freestanding furniture of this scale, especially in homes with children or pets, stability is a priority. We strongly recommend using a wall-anchor safety kit to secure the unit to a wall stud. This prevents accidental tip-overs and ensures the bookcase remains a safe and sturdy fixture in high-traffic areas or active households.

This piece features a sophisticated blend of contemporary clean lines and rustic charm. The espresso finish offers a bold, dark-wood look that adds professional structure to a workspace. It pairs exceptionally well with other contemporary office furniture, such as glass-top or metal-frame desks, providing a warm, textured contrast to a modern aesthetic.

This unit features two shelves designed for standard home office organization. To ensure long-term durability and prevent shelf sag, we recommend placing your heaviest items—such as large hardcovers, textbooks, or full binders—on the lowest shelf and distributing the weight evenly across the 46-inch width.

With a slim depth of just 13.25 inches, this bookcase is an excellent choice for maximizing floor space in tighter areas like hallways, entryways, or urban studio apartments. Its 46-inch width provides a substantial storage surface without protruding deeply into your walking path, helping to maintain a clean and open feel in smaller rooms.

Customer assembly is required for this item. It is designed with a straightforward construction process, making it a manageable DIY project for your home office setup. While Rooms To Go offers full-service delivery with assembly for many items, this specific piece is intended for user assembly, allowing for easy transport and placement in the specific room of your choice.
