Varnholt Nolsoy Wood Bookcase

A 62 inch wide, 8-cube open bookcase on a black steel X-frame, with oak-finish manufactured wood shelves and a 360 pound shelf rating.

The case is 30 inches high, 62.11 inches wide, and 13.69 inches deep, with eight open cubbies in a four-across, two-high grid for books, bins, or decor.

• Low, wide, eight-cube grid

  Eight open cubbies line up four across and two high, each framed by pale wood dividers that match the wide top shelf. Black steel legs cross in an X at each end, giving the case an open, industrial base that reads more bench height than tower.

• One person, tools included

  Assembly is required, and the maker suggests one person for the build since the case bolts together at a low, manageable height. All the tools you need ship in the box, along with the hardware and an instruction sheet, so nothing extra to gather first.

• Anchor it to the wall

  This case sits low and wide, which makes it more stable than a tall narrow bookcase, but any climbed-on furniture can tip over. Anchor it to a wall stud once it is built, especially with children in the home. A tipover restraint kit is not confirmed in the box, so add your own strap if you want one.

• 360 pounds per shelf

  Each open shelf is rated to hold 360 pounds. Spread books, bins, or decor evenly across the eight compartments rather than loading all the weight into one corner, and keep the heaviest items on the lower row.

• Books, bins, and decor

  Each of the eight compartments measures about 11.61 inches high, 14.17 inches wide, and 11.87 inches deep, room for books, storage bins, framed photos, or plants in an easy-reach grid. Nothing here has a door, so everything placed on it stays visible from across the room.

• Steel frame, oak wood shelves

  The legs and X-braces are steel, left in a matte black finish that contrasts against the wood. The shelves, dividers, and back panel are manufactured wood in a Rustic Oak finish, so grain tone varies a little compartment to compartment.

• Dust and wipe the shelves

  Dust each compartment regularly since corners collect more than an open shelf would, using a soft cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment. Wipe up spills right away with a barely damp cloth, and dry the wood right away so standing water does not dull the finish.

• What ships in the box

  The bookcase ships flat with the shelves, dividers, and back panel, along with all the tools, hardware, and an instruction sheet included for the build. A tipover restraint kit is not included, so plan to add your own anchor strap once it is assembled.
