Varnholt Trongisvagur Wood Bookcase

A solid kiln-dried hardwood bookcase in an Espresso finish, with adjustable shelves, a 40 pound per-shelf capacity, and four heights from 36 to 72 inches.

The frame is built from kiln-dried hardwood with solid wood shelves, so it resists the warping and shrinkage green lumber develops once it reaches a heated room.

• Arched Top, Open Shelving

  The top rail curves in a shallow arch and the top itself has a profiled, slightly rounded edge, so the case reads more finished than a plain box store shelf. Below it, the sides run straight down to short, flared feet, and every shelf sits open, nothing behind a door.

• Four Heights, One Footprint

  This bookcase ships in four sizes: a 3-shelf case at 36 inches tall, 4-shelf at 48, 5-shelf at 60, and 6-shelf at 72. Every size keeps the same 32 by 12 inch footprint, so picking a taller size adds shelves and height, not a wider or deeper piece.

• Anchor It To The Wall

  A tipover restraint strap ships in the box. Anchor it to a wall stud once the case is in place, especially if children are in the home, since a tall, top-heavy bookcase like this can tip over if it's climbed or pulled from the top rail.

• Screwdriver-Only Assembly

  Assembly is required, but the hardware stays simple: a screwdriver is the only tool called for, no drill or power tools needed. Clear, labeled parts and step by step instructions walk you through attaching the sides, fitting the shelves, and setting the back panel in place.

• 40 Pounds Per Shelf

  Each shelf is rated to hold 40 pounds, not the case as a whole. The top and bottom shelves are fixed for strength, while the shelves between them are adjustable, moving up and down so you can raise one opening for oversized art books and lower the next for paperbacks.

• Caring For The Finish

  Wipe the wood with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep dust off the shelves and the back panel, and skip ammonia-based cleaners that can dull the espresso finish over time. A soft duster or cloth reaches the profiled top edge without scratching it.

• Kiln-Dried Hardwood, Espresso Finish

  The frame is kiln-dried hardwood, and the shelves are solid wood too, not a veneer over particleboard, so screws hold and shelves carry weight without stripping out. It's finished in a rich espresso that lets the wood grain show through, and since it's a natural material, grain and tone vary a little from one case to the next.

• Built For Books, Not Bins

  This case favors books and everyday storage over deep decor bins: the interior suits hardcovers, binders and file boxes with room to spare on most shelves. Paperback rows and picture frames fit easily in any opening, and an oversized art book or a storage bin still has a home since the shelves adjust to open up more room where you need it.

• What's In The Box

  Included in the carton: the shelves, the back panel, and the tipover restraint hardware.
