Bookshelves With Unique Styling
Featured piece
Ansley Park Bookcase
The first element that makes this bookcase unique is found in the lumber itself, as it’s built using rough-sawn maple that embraces the wood’s more rugged characteristics. But that’s not all—each open compartment is spaced from one another and extends subtly farther than the wood dividers, resulting in an unusual silhouette.

Lakewood Storage Bookcase
Demonstrating that a bookshelf can be both traditional and unique is the Lakewood Storage Bookcase. Generous with its use of thoughtful details such as winged corbels, flared feet, arched opening, and side paneling, it brings a distinct personality while staying true to its Arts and Crafts basis. While you can order this bookcase in whatever stain you’d like, we love the unique appearance of the pictured Aged Vignette.
The Lakewood Storage Bookcase can be ordered in four height options spanning from 48” to a particularly tall 84”, making it one of the few bookshelves we offer over seven feet, as well as available in a five foot tall version.

Bowie Bookcase
We admire the distinctive shape and sleek design of the Bowie Bookcase, but what truly captured our attention is its unique combination of two different hardwoods. Though it merges Brown Maple and Rustic Quartersawn White Oak in the photographed version, buyers can mix and match 11 different timber species, as well as dozens of stains. The resulting bookshelf will feel truly one-of-a-kind to your home office or bedroom.

Tahoe 4-Door Barrister Bookcase
Barrister bookcases are a deviation from most bookshelves for a number of reasons. Not only are they generally shorter, but they sport sliding doors often enhanced with leaded glass. So what makes the Tahoe 4-Door Barrister Bookcase in our eyes? The minimalist color and rectangular shapes of the stained glass, lend a modern feel to this Arts and Crafts styled piece.
