Wilford Black Marble Bookcase

Based on our expertise in furniture care, we recommend dusting the unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For any spills on the marble-look shelves or metal frame, use a mild soap and water solution and wipe dry immediately. It is important to avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the transitional-style finish and damage the protective coating.

Safety is a priority for tall furniture pieces. Because this unit stands 59.25" high, we strongly recommend anchoring it to the wall to prevent accidental tip-overs, especially in homes with children or pets. While the three-leg design provides a stable foundation, securing it to a wall stud ensures maximum stability on both hard floors and carpeted surfaces.

Yes, this etagere is highly versatile. While perfect for a home office, its transitional style and marble-look shelves make it an elegant display piece for photo frames, indoor plants, or even as a stylish storage solution for kitchen accessories. The open design allows for easy access and ensures your decorative items remain the focal point.

The three-leg metal frame on this unit provides exceptional structural integrity and stability compared to traditional all-wood or particle-board designs. Metal frames are particularly effective at preventing the shelf-sagging that can occur over time under the weight of books or decor. Additionally, metal is a resilient choice for various climates, as it does not warp or swell due to the humidity fluctuations common in coastal or southern regions.

While a traditional bookcase typically features solid sides and a closed back, an etagere like this one is defined by its open-frame construction and decorative X-design. This makes it a more versatile piece that functions as much as a display unit for decor as it does for books. Its lightweight silhouette is ideal for modern or transitional interiors where you want to provide storage without adding visually heavy furniture to the room.

Absolutely. With a compact footprint of just 17.5" wide and 12.5" deep, this corner etagere is specifically designed to maximize vertical storage (standing nearly 60" tall) in underutilized corners. Its open, three-leg frame and X-design help maintain an airy, uncluttered feel, which is essential for making smaller urban living spaces or home offices feel more expansive.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this bookcase. Each unit comes with detailed instructions and the necessary hardware to ensure a straightforward setup. For a secure and stable build, we recommend following the assembly guide closely, particularly when attaching the decorative X-design support and the four marble-look shelves to the black metal frame.
