Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this bookcase suitable for a small urban apartment?
This 5-tier etagere is an excellent choice for high-rise apartments or urban studios where floor space is limited. With a slim 12-inch depth and a 32-inch width, it maximizes vertical storage (60 inches high) without encroaching on your walking paths. Its open-frame, urban style is specifically designed to provide high-capacity organization while maintaining an airy, unobstructed feel in compact living areas.
Can this furniture piece be used as a room divider?
Yes. Unlike standard bookshelves that feature unfinished back panels, this etagere is finished on all sides. This design choice makes it a versatile tool for open-concept layouts or studio apartments, as it can be placed in the center of a room to delineate different living zones without looking like the back of a piece of furniture.
Does this bookcase require professional assembly?
Customer assembly is required for this item. Based on our expertise with flat-pack furniture, we recommend assembling the unit on a soft, carpeted surface to protect the smooth wood-look finish during the process. While our delivery team handles the heavy lifting for your delivery, please note that "partial assembly required" items are intended for customer setup.
What is the benefit of the slanted, V-shaped shelf design?
Beyond its striking modern aesthetic, the slanted shelves create eye-catching geometric angles that form V-shaped display areas in different sizes. This functional design allows you to organize items by height more efficiently than standard flat shelves—placing oversized art books in the deeper center "V" while using the outer slanted edges for smaller accents or tech accessories.
How much weight can the shelves on this bookcase hold?
While specific weight limits depend on item distribution, this bookcase is engineered with a sturdy black metal frame that provides robust structural support for the five wood-look shelves. The unique geometric, V-shaped shelf design naturally creates varied storage zones, allowing you to strategically place heavier volumes or decorative objects on the more supported sections of the tiers.
How do I clean and maintain the gray wood-look finish?
To preserve the integrity of the urban-style finish, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth. For localized stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a damp cloth, ensuring you wipe the surface dry immediately. We advise avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives, which can dull the geometric angles and wood-look surface over time.
Is it necessary to anchor this 60-inch tall bookshelf to the wall?
For safety, especially in households with children, pets, or in active living environments, we strongly recommend securing all tall furniture pieces to the wall. At 60 inches high, this bookcase should be properly anchored using anti-tip hardware to ensure long-term stability and provide peace of mind in your home office or living room.
