Product Description
Standard Bookcases
Our Signature Standard Single Bookcases are offered in widths of 24″, 32″, 36″ and 42″ and heights of 72″, 84″ and 96″. The normal width of the top is an additional 1″ so that a 32″ bookcase is 33″ at the top, etc.
Our standard Bookcases are crafted in our Brooklyn workshop of solid hardwood, locally sourced; choose from cherry, walnut, maple, birch, and red or white oak.
Allow 8-10 weeks for delivery.
We construct our bookcases using mortise and tenon joinery that will last for generations.
Most of the shelves on our Stand Bookcases are adjustable – we usually make one fixed shelf in the center to stiffen the structure.
The natural beauty of the wood is enhanced with a non-toxic oil and wax finish.
Solid hardwood shelves are much stiffer than shelves made of plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF). Solid hardwood will not bend from the weight of even a full shelf of books as would man-made materials. Furthermore solid wood bookshelves do not emit formaldehyde into the home as do many bookcases made from MDF.
We also make custom configured variations of our standard bookcases. Doors, either glass or wood paneled, may be added. Several units can be joined together under a single top to create a wall of bookcases.
Over the many years that we have produced similar bookcases we have made many variations and compositions – let us know what you imagine and we can almost certainly find a solution.
