Pearce Bookcase - Cherry

It's true that books are one of the heaviest things to move, but once you crack open those boxes to reveal every story you love, the pain is worth it, isn't it? And you don't have to store them in a heavy piece of furniture when you have our exclusive Pearce Bookcase - Cherry, an open, clean-lined piece designed to slip easily into any decor. Your books will fit neatly on each airy, easy-access shelf, instantly making your collection both a conversation piece and the work of art it is already.

This simply attractive 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 rich, warm cherry finish lends the bookcase a homey feel, but its straight, simple lines work in any interior, traditional, transitional, and contemporary alike. Four spacious shelves offer ample room for books big and small, or a few well-placed plants and photographs.

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.
