Varnholt Gasadalur Etagere Bookcase

An 84.25 inch etagere bookcase in a black tubular metal frame, with five fixed engineered wood shelves and an X-shaped back brace for stability.

The listed footprint is 84.25 inches high, 33 inches wide, and 15 inches deep. Tape that rectangle on the wall before you order; this is a tall, narrow piece meant to stand flat against it.

• Tall, open, industrial frame

  The etagere stands narrow and tall, built almost entirely from black tubular metal with an X-brace crossing behind each shelf. Turned finial posts and a molded top rail add a touch of traditional detail to an otherwise open, airy silhouette.

• Plan for two-person assembly

  This piece ships unassembled and the manufacturer recommends two people for the build since the frame stands 84.25 inches once upright. All tools are included, so you will not need your own hardware to put it together.

• Anchor it to the wall

  A tipover restraint strap ships in the box because a piece this tall and narrow can tip over if it is climbed on or loaded unevenly. Anchor it to a wall stud once it is built, and keep the open shelves away from where children might climb.

• 25 pounds per shelf

  Each of the five fixed shelves is rated to hold 25 pounds. Spread heavier books toward the lower shelves and keep the load even across each one rather than stacking everything on a single shelf near the top.

• Room for books and decor

  Each shelf measures 31.1 inches wide by 11.22 inches deep, with 14.47 inches of clearance above it, enough for rows of books, framed photos, or other open storage. The open sides mean everything on the shelves stays visible rather than tucked behind a door.

• Black metal, engineered wood

  The frame is tubular metal in a black finish, with an X-shaped brace welded across the back of each side for stability. The five shelves are engineered wood in a matching black finish, with a subtle grain texture visible on the surface.

• Dust the shelves and frame

  Wipe the metal frame with a dry or barely damp cloth to keep dust from collecting in the corners and joints. Dust the engineered wood shelves with a soft cloth as well, and avoid soaking either surface since standing water can damage the finish.

• What comes in the box

  The etagere ships unassembled in one carton with all tools included for the build, along with the tipover restraint strap and its wall anchoring hardware. Nothing else comes with it, so set aside time and a second pair of hands for assembly.
