Pearce Bookcase - Oak

Two things happen as kids turn into teens who turn into college students. One: They accumulate a lot of stuff. Two: They form clear opinions on what they like, no matter how much stuff they already have. But if among their vast and varied collections is our exclusive Pearce Bookcase - Oak, you can be assured of one solid fact: Growing kids will always have a neat, neutral place to tuck away the toys that become mementos and the books and photographs that portray the here and now.

This traditional but slightly modern 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 light, natural oak finish and straight, simple lines lend the bookcase a clean feel, making it appropriate for any room decor - say, the child's room that transitions to the teen's room. Four spacious shelves can bolster books, games, toys, photographs, and fabric bins filled with seasonal clothing and spare linens.

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.
