Narrow Mission Bookcase Etagere - Cherry

Our exclusive Narrow Mission Bookcase - Cherry proves the best things really do come in small packages - or, at least, stylishly streamlined storage units that both utilize and save space to maximum effect. This modern Mission-style piece has a narrow footprint that slips easily into corners or behind sofas, and its spacious open shelves are fresh, airy, and ideal for books, photographs, and collectibles.

This attractively simple bookcase is crafted with a solid rubberwood frame and MDF shelves all covered with solid wood veneers. MDF wood is a dense, super-sturdy engineered wood that offers greater strength and is more warp-resistant than regular wood. A rich cherry finish warms the straight, Mission-inspired lines that make this bookcase eye-catching, and four open shelves make it practical. This Hayneedle exclusive coordinates with other pieces in the Mission collection.

The Beauty and Benefits of Rubberwood
Hailing from the maple family of trees, the rubber tree is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. This durable Asian hardwood is valued for its dense grain, minimal shrinkage, attractive color and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an "environmentally friendly" wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing cycle.
