The Multi Use Woody Bookshelf comes in multiple size options (heights, widths, depths) to suit different needs and spaces. Each shelf is made from solid reclaimed wood and is engineered to hold heavy books, decorative items, or storage boxes securely. Although the exact size you choose will determine capacity, each shelf can typically support 30-60 kg depending on span and load distribution. If you need a very heavy load (e.g. large encyclopedias or heavy pottery), we recommend choosing a smaller shelf length or adding vertical supports.

Yes — this bookshelf is crafted using reclaimed teak or similar solid reclaimed wood, salvaged and repurposed for its strength, beauty, and sustainability. The finish options often include natural, raw, lightly stained or lacquer-sealed surfaces, sometimes with custom finishes available on request. Because reclaimed wood has natural variations (knots, grain patterns, prior distress), no two pieces look exactly alike — which adds to the rustic, vintage charm.

Absolutely. One of the main selling points of this piece is its versatility. Most orders can be customized in terms of total height, width, depth, number of shelves, and finish (wood stain, natural raw, distressed etc.). The adjustable shelving also allows you to adapt shelf spacing so you can store tall items, stack books, or display decor. If you have specific dimensions or design requirements, be sure to reach out before purchase so the artisans can accommodate your request.

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the bookshelf:

Dust regularly with a dry soft cloth.

Clean spills immediately with a lightly damp cloth; avoid excessive moisture.

Use wood-safe polish or wax occasionally (depending on finish) to refresh the wood’s natural sheen.

Keep the shelf out of direct sunlight to avoid fading, especially for stained or lightly finished wood.

Place felt pads under decorative items that might scratch.

These care steps will help preserve the natural beauty of the vintage wood and prevent warping or cracking over time.

Since each bookshelf is handcrafted from reclaimed wood and potentially customized, production time is typically 3-6 weeks depending on size, finish, and artisan workload. Shipping timelines depend on location, but The Vintage Realm usually offers international delivery. Be sure to check shipping rates, customs, and import duties for your country at checkout. For custom orders, additional lead time may apply.

The sustainability benefits stem from:

Use of reclaimed wood, which repurposes aged material and reduces demand for new timber.

Handmade craftsmanship helps minimize industrial waste.

Long lifespan due to solid construction, adjustable shelving, and durable finishes — meaning the bookshelf won’t need frequent replacement.

If you prioritize eco-friendly furniture, this bookshelf delivers on style and sustainability.
