Funky Chunky Furniture Ouseburn Alcove Bookshelf Bookcases

Product Details

Make the smallest spaces the most stylish with our Ouseburn Alcove Bookshelf. At just under 72cm in width, it’s perfect for those spaces around the home that just need “something” to make them standout. Place it in the recess either side of a fireplace, in a hallway, on the turn of the stairs, or even in the home office.

With fixings on the back to secure it to your wall you can choose to leave it empty, or fill it with your favourite books. Place it in your hallway as a statement wall feature, in your home office as handy storage, or even in your dressing area to store accessories.

Just like all our furniture and shelves, the Ouseburn Bookshelf is handcrafted and made to order in our workshop in the North East of England.

If you love handcrafted industrial furniture with a creative twist, our Ouseburn collection is for you. The Ouseburn Collection is inspired by an area of Newcastle-upon-Tyne where creative industries and vibrant neighbourhoods flourish in a former industrial area of the city.

 

Solid. Chunky. Unique. Durable. Rustic.

Finishes & Wax

Solid Rustic Timber

To make the Ouseburn Alcove Book Shelf we select top quality, unsorted, kiln-dried pine. Each Book Shelf is cut to size and finished in our signature rustic style. This leaves in lots of natural timber characteristics and features. Mother Nature’s own stamp of approval.

In this style you can expect to find splits, cracks, knots, shakes, waney edges, bows and twists, along with sanding marks in keeping with the rustic style. These are the qualities that set our furniture apart from the rest. And due to the nature of solid wood every piece will be different. Truly unique. One of a kind. Please note that placing your item near to a heat source can cause movement within the timber which may exaggerate these natural features.

Please note that all sizes and weights given are approximate. As we only use natural, solid timber, measurements can change slightly from one piece to another.

5 Fine Wax Finish Colours

To finish our solid wood Ouseburn Alcove Book Shelf we use your choice of one of our supreme wax polishes. The finish is professionally applied with the highest attention to detail. And as the wax soaks into the different grains and features, it enhances their look and brings them to life. The available colours are:

• Walnut
• Teak
• Smoke Pine
• Medium Oak
• Rustic Pine

When viewing on screen, colours can look different from one screen to another. This makes it less reliable than seeing the real finished timber before your own eyes. Because you want the perfect colour for your home these finishes are available to purchase as small samples.

Delivery & Returns

Turnaround & Delivery

As these Ouseburn bookshelves are handmade we do require some time for manufacturing. This will normally take 4 weeks. They will then be dispatched and will usually be delivered within 1-2 working days to UK mainland. (More remote UK areas and Northern Ireland could see an extra 1-2 days for delivery). It is important to open your delivery as soon as it is received so that this can be checked over, and so that the wood can breathe.

Orders with multiple items will be dispatched according to the longest lead time. To receive your quicker lead time items without having to wait, just place separate orders.
