Dimensions & care

Full dimensions are listed at the end of the Overview on every product page, taken from the finished piece rather than from a drawing. If a measurement matters for your space, write to us and we will check the actual item before it ships.

Care instructions ship with the product and are printed on the care label where there is one. Solid wood wants a damp cloth and an occasional oil; stone should be sealed once a year; wool and linen prefer a cold wash and drying flat.

Shipping & returns

Shipping is free on every order, with tracking, anywhere in the United States. We do not ship outside the US, so there are no customs charges or import duties on anything you order.

Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days and most orders placed before 2pm ET leave the same day. Typical delivery is 7 to 15 days from dispatch. Tracking arrives by email as soon as the carrier scans the parcel.

Thirty days to return anything unused and in its original packaging, with all fixings included. We cover the return shipping when an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered. If a piece arrives damaged, send a photo of the item and the outer box within 7 days and we ship a replacement without asking for the broken one back.

Furniture

Five shelves that still let the wall through

A powder coated steel frame with light oak shelves, open on every side.

Open Shelf Unit

Five shelves

35 lb on each of them

Open both sides

Works as a room divider

Adjustable feet

Levels out a sloping floor

Anti-tip strap

Supplied in the box

STRUCTURE

No back panel, by design

Light and sightlines pass straight through, which is what lets it divide a room without becoming a wall. It also means both faces are finished, so there is no wrong side to hide.

LOAD

35 lb per shelf is a real number

That is a full run of records or a stack of hardbacks, not a token plant. The oak shelves sit inside a welded steel frame rather than on pins, so nothing bows in the middle.

HEIGHT

71 inches, and strapped

Anything this tall belongs fixed to the wall. Adjustable feet take out the rock first so the frame sits square, and then the anti-tip strap does the rest.

A divider that does not wall off the room

I used it to split a studio and because it is open on all sides the light still travels through. The black steel frame against the light oak shelves reads as intentional from both directions, which matters when neither side is a back. At 71 inches it defines the space without closing it.

★★★★★

35 lb a shelf is not a marketing number

I have records on three of the five shelves and there is no bow in the oak at all. The adjustable feet took out the wobble from our sloping floor in about a minute. I fitted the anti-tip strap anyway since it comes in the box.

Before you buy

Questions we get about this kind of piece

All FAQs
Does it arrive assembled?

Part-assembled. The hardware and an Allen key are in the box and most pieces are four to eight bolts. The number of steps and the rough assembly time are on each product page.

Will it fit through my door?

Check the boxed dimensions in The details before you order, not just the assembled ones — a doorway or a stair turn is what usually catches people out, and larger tops ship as a single slab. If a measurement is borderline, write to us and we will measure the actual item before it leaves.

Does the carrier bring it inside?

Larger pieces are delivered to your door. Carriers do not carry items upstairs, into a particular room, unpack them or take the packaging away, so line up a second pair of hands for anything heavy.

Is it solid wood or veneer?

Where a page says solid oak or solid acacia, it is solid through the whole thickness, not veneer over board. Grain and tone vary from piece to piece because the wood does; we do not photograph a stained sample and ship something else.
