Northern Classics 5-Shelf Bookcase

The piece is crafted from Northern white cedar--native to the Adirondack region. Craftsmen at Old Adirondack dry the wood in a kiln, but otherwise leave it untreated. Cedar's slow, absorbency rate and loss reduces cracking and swelling common with other hardwoods. Resistant to decay and disease, the wood turns a lovely, silver-gray over time if left unfinished. For those who prefer to finish or paint the bookshelf, the wood arrives prepared for treatment. Durable mortise and tenon joinery and zinc hardware hold the shelf together. The completed piece stands 64 inches high. Each shelf measures 32-3/4 by 12-3/4 inches. The lowest shelf position hovers 3-1/4 inches above the ground, while the highest towers at 61-1/4 inches. Suggested shelf placements are at 7-1/4-inch increments. This shelf can accommodate up to nine shelves, or may be joined with other Long Pond models for an expansive shelf network. Some simple assembly is required. These item measures 28-1/2 by 64 by 18-3/4 inches, and weighs 82 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling
