Vintage Oak Adjustable Library Shelving – 12' Wide

Description : Large-scale vintage oak library or institutional shelving unit with more than 20 adjustable and removable shelves. Rows of closely spaced adjustment holes allow the shelf heights to be configured for books, architectural samples, retail displays, records, collectibles, or general storage. Paneled end posts and a molded plinth base give the piece a substantial architectural appearance. The wood shows surface wear, scratches, dust, finish variation, and other signs of previous use consistent with a salvaged piece. The sectional construction is especially practical, allowing the unit to easily disassemble into manageable components for moving, transport, and installation.
