Pearce Bookcase - Black

When you're an avid book collector, it's only natural you'll want to keep your collection on permanent display. We understand you'll want the books to take center stage - after all, rare books and first editions aren't everyday - but you'll also want to be assured each of those prized works is being securely stored. Our exclusive Pearce Bookcase - Black is the perfect solution. Durable wood and high-quality construction support books of all sizes, clean lines won't compete with artistic covers and spines, and open shelving keeps everything easy-access.

This contemporary bookcase is crafted with a solid rubberwood frame and MDF shelves and back panel 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 deep, rich black finish lends the bookcase a modern feel, but the beauty of its straight, simple lines is that they work in any interior - traditional, transitional, and contemporary alike. Four spacious shelves offer ample room for books big and small, and a couple of bookends can transform the top of the bookcase into an extra shelf for precious books you want to keep away from curious hands.

This Hayneedle exclusive coordinates with other pieces in the Pearce 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.
