Bookshelves are traditionally basic in shape. Tall and rectangular or squat and square, shelving is most often designed with functionality in mind. While it’s important that bookshelves are able to support the weight of many volumes, it’s also nice to have a shelving unit that enhances rustic décor. With its unique shape and solid construction, the Teak Wood Red River Shelf from Groovy Stuff is just such a unit.
Teak furniture has characteristics absent from other wood furniture. Deep brown and red tones in the wood bring warmth to a room, and a tight grain gives a uniform look to finished pieces. The Red River Shelf is especially interesting in that it departs from the classic boxy shelf shape, instead employing a rounded look made possible by its wagon wheel base. This feature creates soft lines and a pleasing appearance, making it the perfect place not only to store books, but also to show off favorite sculptures or photographs. Two horizontal teak shelves provide plenty of room for these uses.
Materials used in reclaimed wood furniture like the Red River Shelf have already seen time in the elements. Time spent outdoors means that the wood has already gone through many seasons of changing weather, making it more rugged than other woods. Teak also possesses natural oils that keep it from decaying or becoming damaged, so the Red River Shelf may be used outdoors without spoiling the look of the piece.

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.
