The Rustic 9-Tier Tree Bookshelf is designed as a space-saving vertical organizer with a footprint of approximately 15 by 8 inches. Its visual appeal is centered on a warm aesthetic suitable for home offices, and it includes features that allow for cable management behind the central spine. Specifications indicate the use of 15mm E1-grade particle board with a melamine veneer. While this veneer is rated to resist water, it can be brittle, so care is needed during assembly to avoid chipping at screw entry points.
Tests show that the cantilevered branch design creates specific load-bearing requirements. While each shelf has a theoretical maximum, practical use suggests keeping weights between 12 and 15 lbs to prevent the shelves from bowing. Because the center of gravity shifts as the upper branches are loaded, the unit relies on its heavyweight square base for ballast. To help ensure stability, the unit should be placed on perfectly level flooring and secured to a wall stud using the included anti-tip kit.
The structural integrity of this unit is highly dependent on the tension of the base screws and proper anchoring; it is not designed to be used as a freestanding unit.
If you find that a 9-tier vertical orientation is too tall for your space, the 4-Tier Tree Bookshelf offers a lower profile with a similar aesthetic.
