Free Range Bookcase

A rugged self assembly bookcase of a fixed height and depth, made in three widths:

Small: 500mm
Medium: 1000mm
Large: 1500mm

A combination of sliding dovetail joints on the shelf ends and wedged tenons on the top and bottom rails keep the bookcase uprights locked together.

For larger widths a degree of bow is to be expected when fully laden with books, this is intended and entirely within what the shelves will comfortably accommodate. Each shelf of the large model will hold upwards of 200 lbs or 90kg.

Shelves which gently smile should not be the exclusive preserve of second hand book dealers. The first of these bookcases was made for an art historian whose shelves groaned under the weight of his books, a degree or two of bow is something to be admired.
