Please note: this item has a NO KEY. We also do not guarantee locks as the mechanisms can become unbalanced in the shipping process. It's a good idea to plan to have them cleaned and serviced after delivery if a functional locking mechanism is important to you.
While this cabinet can be disassembled to navigate difficult stairwells or tight hallways, we strongly recommend shipping and installing in the home in one piece, if possible, to protect structural integrity.
There are a few age-related cracks in the wood and a slight bowing to the shelves and doors. The doors curve inward subtly but close beautifully and look fantastic when shut. We mention these details only for full transparency—none of it affects functionality or appeal.
This is a beautiful, towering bookcase with rich character, unmatched craftsmanship, and architectural elegance.
