Cattelan Italia Wally Bookcase

While the unit is designed to be freestanding, it requires wall anchorage for safety and stability. Because of this, it is best placed against a wall rather than used as a standalone room divider.

The total weight capacity for the bookcase is 132 lbs. We recommend distributing heavier items evenly across the shelves to maintain the structural integrity of the MDF frame.

No, assembly is required. The unit arrives in components that need to be put together, and because of the wall-anchoring requirement, we recommend having a professional or someone experienced with furniture installation assist you.

The Wally bookcase features a fixed, geometrically inspired modular design. While you can choose from various configurations at the time of purchase, the individual shelf positions are not adjustable once the unit is assembled.

The embossed lacquered MDF is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the finish.

The open-back design allows your wall color to show through, which adds depth to the piece. It works best against a solid-colored wall, as a busy wallpaper or pattern behind the unit may make the geometric structure feel cluttered.
