Description
This beige bookcase is made entirely of mango wood, and its character comes from the slats. Rows of upright slats form the back, and at each end they curve round into rounded sides, so the open front sits between two softly bowed ends. Inside there are three open shelf levels, and a rail runs along the back and round the ends above the top shelf. It measures 153cm long, 45cm wide and 105cm tall and weighs 33.7KG, so this is a substantial piece of furniture rather than a lightweight stand.
At 105cm tall it stands well below a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, so the top shelf doubles as a display surface for vases, a table lamp or a few framed prints, while the lower shelves take books, magazines and baskets. The 45cm width leaves room for large art books and storage baskets. Its 153cm length suits a living room wall or the space beneath a wide window, and it works in a dining room as a long, low display piece. Because the back and ends are slatted rather than solid panels, light and the wall behind show through, so it looks lighter than a closed cabinet of the same size.
Mango is a hardwood with a pronounced grain, and that grain stays visible through the lacquered finish on the shelves and every slat. The four tapered legs are mango wood too, and they lift the bottom shelf clear of the floor. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, keep the top shelf sparse with one or two tall pieces and let the lower shelves hold the books and baskets, so the curved ends stay on show.

Frequently Asked
What is the bookcase made of?
It is made entirely of mango wood, legs included, and finished with lacquer, so the grain of the wood stays visible across the shelves and slats.
How big is it?
It is 153cm long, 45cm wide and 105cm tall, and it weighs 33.7KG, so it is worth measuring your wall or the space under your window first.
How many shelves does it have?
There are three open shelf levels inside, with the top shelf sitting just below the rail that runs along the back and round the curved ends.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The lacquered finish gives the mango a sealed surface, so a simple wipe is all the maker asks for.

The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can read through them and see what is involved before you start.
