Ashley Furniture Roanhowe Bookcase

Yes, because this is a tall, freestanding unit standing 71 inches high, it is strongly recommended that you use the included anti-tip hardware to secure it to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets.

The Roanhowe bookcase features a fixed-shelf design. While this provides excellent structural stability, it means you cannot customize the height between shelves to accommodate taller items.

This piece arrives ready-to-assemble. You will need basic tools, like a screwdriver, and it is helpful to have a second person assist you when lifting and positioning the frame during the final steps.

While specific weight capacity ratings can vary by model, this standard bookcase is designed for typical home use, such as books, decor, and personal items. It is best to distribute heavier items on the bottom shelves to maintain the unit's center of gravity.

The Roanhowe is designed with an open-concept aesthetic, which means it does not have a solid back panel. This allows light to pass through, making it a great choice if you want to place it against a decorative wall or use it as a visual partition.
