The Gwen Shelf, artisan-crafted at James & James, features a robust steel frame complemented by sleek solid hardwood shelving. Purpose-built to showcase your favorite books and unique decor accents, it epitomizes a blend of industrial resilience and sophisticated design, making a compelling statement in any room.

All James & James items are made to order, customized to the specifications you select.

Crafted from solid Knotty Alder Hardwood and clear-coated raw steel for lasting durability, our furniture is built for everyday use and ready to become your next heirloom. Every piece is hand-finished in the color of your choosing, then sealed with a polyurethane finish to further protect the surface. Surface area knots are filled for a smooth finish, while all other knots are left open and natural.

For added safety, we recommend securing the furniture to the wall, as all inherently top-heavy furniture can tip if misused. Please note that hardware for securing is not included.
