- Additional Information
- The beauty of handmade character oak furniture is that no two pieces of furniture are the same there will be slight imperfections in the oak and differences in colour, which give the oak character.

Rustic solid oak Wood is a natural product and the finish and colour is never exactly even, that's what makes character rustic oak furniture the perfect option for your home.

- How to Measure Your Living Room for Proportional Fit
- 1. Wall Width Measure the wall where the bookcase will sit. Leave 10–15 cm clearance on each side for breathing room and styling flexibility.
- 2. Ceiling Height For tall bookcases, ensure the unit sits at least 20–30 cm below the ceiling to avoid visual crowding and allow for top-shelf styling.
- 3. Depth & Flow Allow 60–90 cm of walking space in front of the bookcase, especially if placed near seating or doorways.
- 4. Visual Mockup Use masking tape or cardboard to outline the bookcase’s footprint on your wall and floor. This gives a real-world sense of scale and helps avoid surprises.
- 5. Styling Considerations If pairing with other oak pieces (like sideboards or cube units), align heights and spacing to create a cohesive rhythm across the room.
