Ashley Furniture Montia Bookcase

No, the five gallery shelves are fixed in place to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of the unit.

While the unit is designed as a freestanding piece, we strongly recommend using an anti-tip kit to secure it to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets.

The shelves are constructed from durable engineered wood and metal, designed to support standard book collections and decorative items. However, we advise against placing excessively heavy items on a single shelf to ensure long-term stability.

Assembly is required for this bookcase. You will need to attach the metal frame to the shelving components, so we recommend having a second person available to help hold pieces in place during the process.

The open-back design allows the unit to feel airy and light, making it a great choice for placing against a wall or even using as a room divider. Keep in mind that whatever is behind the bookcase will be visible through the shelves.

The frame features a powder-coated finish, which is highly durable and resistant to chips and scratches under normal use. It provides a sleek, matte look that complements the light brown wood tones.
