Four Hands Helena Bookcase

Yes, the bookcase is designed as a sturdy, freestanding piece. However, given its height of 83 inches, we strongly recommend using the included anti-tip hardware to secure it to the wall for maximum safety.

The tempered glass shelves are durable and suitable for standard books, decor, and collectibles. While they are robust, we advise against placing extremely heavy items like large stone sculptures or stacks of heavy encyclopedias on a single shelf to maintain the integrity of the glass.

The iron frame is finished in antique brass, which is relatively low maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch or dull the finish.

No, the shelves are fixed in place. The staggered design is a permanent feature of the frame's construction, which contributes to the unit's overall stability and unique visual aesthetic.

Like any clear glass surface, the shelves will show fingerprints and dust if touched frequently. A quick wipe with a glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth will keep them looking pristine.
