He has two walls and plenty of books to fill them, so I produced this version that was taller and was able to combine units to cover his full wall space [see photo above - 3 units plus a custom corner unit]. The idea worked well so while I was making them, I also made 4 additional units; 54", 50", 42", & 36" in width. The primary wood is Cherry with a light gunstock brown stain ('aged cherry') with a secondary accent wood of Maple with beautiful curly grain. This was finished with a hand rubbed lacquer. The customer was impressed enough to give a sizable tip and a second order.
The top, bottom, and shelf with the maple accent are fixed, the remaining shelves are adjustable. It is 79 1/2" H x 54" W x 10 1/2" D, and can be connected with one or more of the other 3 units by small bolts through small holes at the sides. The framework also bolts together allowing disassembly if necessary for shipping. less
