4 Tier Bookshelf 1.8M WIDE

The American white oak trees that provide the timber for just about all our products grow to around 25m, but many of our products are less lofty in their ambition. Showing off the glory of this sustainably grown hardwood is the limit of their aspirations. Among the exceptions are our taller bookshelves, which stand 1.4m.

While they may not have the stature of the trees that birthed them, they retain the innate strength. Whether you load these slender shelves with weighty volumes or use them to display a treasured collection, they will be unbowed. Our bookshelves arrive flat-packed but assembling them with the help of the tools we supply is as easy as falling off an oak log.

The key structural shelves have fixed positions but others can be moved up and down to suit your needs, with the help of factory-drilled holes. As you’ll have noticed, our bookshelves come in a range of shapes and sizes but share the same design ethos, just like the oak trees they come from. Where nature leads, we’re always ready to follow…

Our Oak:

We only use sustainably harvested American oak to craft our furniture. Timber is an inherently sustainable material - trees are (ideally) an infinitely renewable resource. But many manufacturers rely on monocropped pine, or other woods, due to cost and ease. This practice destroys soil and the surrounding ecosystem. All our oak is grown and harvested in indigenous forests on the east coast of America. Trees are felled only once they’ve reached full maturity. Then they are drawn from the forest in minimally invasive ways that preserve the surrounding vegetation. It’s all about delivering a truly sustainable and stunning product.

Manufacturing Process:

Carpentry and joinery are two of the oldest crafts on earth, and furniture making ordinarily requires a huge amount of skill in order to deliver truly exceptional results. Unfortunately, these traditions are largely dying off, particularly in the global South, making great wooden furniture hard to come by at reasonable prices. At Houtlander we want as many people as possible to have access to beautiful, well-crafted furniture which lasts a lifetime. This is why we’ve combined expert craftsmanship with 5-axis CNC technology, allowing us to create perfect curves, joints and furniture features in an affordable and replicable way.
