Fireside Lodge Hickory Open Bookshelf

No, the shelves are fixed in place. This design choice ensures maximum structural integrity and stability, which is essential given the natural, handcrafted nature of the hickory logs.

Because this is a freestanding unit with a significant, sturdy base, it is generally stable on level floors. However, for safety—especially in homes with children or pets—we always recommend using a furniture anchor kit to prevent tipping.

Hickory is one of the hardest and most durable hardwoods available, making it an excellent choice for furniture. Over time, the wood may develop minor checks or cracks, which are natural characteristics of solid log construction and add to the piece's rustic character rather than affecting its function.

This piece typically arrives fully assembled or with minimal assembly required, depending on the specific shipping configuration. Because it is handcrafted from solid logs, it is built as a complete, sturdy unit rather than a flat-pack kit.

While hickory is durable, we recommend keeping this piece in climate-controlled areas like a living room, bedroom, or office. Excessive moisture or fluctuating humidity levels can cause solid wood to expand or contract, potentially affecting the joints or finish over time.
