Beautiful, Reliable Book Storage

For people who love reading, a large book collection poses only one problem: storage. Having enough shelf space is important so books don’t have to be double stacked, balanced on each other, or relegated to the floor. Proper shelving keeps books organized and free of damage.
But space is only part of the issue. Anyone can go to the store and buy a cheap bookcase of the correct size that assembles in an afternoon. Unfortunately, these shelving units tend to be made more for show than for function and will sag under the weight of a decently-sized book collection.
The Aspen Mountain 3 Shelf Bookcase With Drawer, however, is made from solid aspen wood. Unlike mass-produced shelving, log furniture has the strength to stand up to decades of use. Even the most dedicated bibliophile can rely on the solidity of real wood furniture.
Drawer space and adjustable shelving add to the functionality of the piece. Shelves may be moved depending on the size of the books that need storing, and the drawer is a perfect place for magazines. Flat-front and half-log drawer options allow for pairing with both rustic and modern home décor. This versatility makes it possible to introduce the shelves to a living area, den, or even a bedroom without disrupting the look of the room.
Available with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish or bronze aspen finish, the Aspen Mountain bookcase fits in with any rustic décor. The unit may also be purchased unfinished and stained according to preference.

Customer Feedback
Home is all about dependable comfort, a kind of welcome you don't find anywhere else. If there is one thing you can count on to last, its solid wood furniture. The most comfortable furniture in every room was made to be lived on, rather than looked at. I've found the best investment and timeless charm comes from log furniture. The living on it just adds to its character, and it works in just about every decorating style. For me, rustic decor makes perfect sense and log furniture is part of that look, no matter where you live or play.
