The Wood Bookcase is hand-made in Brooklyn by me, Steven. I have a love for craft and a deep respect for the natural quality of wood. This piece is: Beautiful. This hearty bookcase features American Black Walnut and African Sapele. I personally select each board for integrity and beauty. This makes our furniture truly unique in today's manufacturing culture. Generally, furniture makers will just call their lumber yard and take from the top of the pile with no regard to unique beauty or integrity of the board. I'm equal part artist and woodworker, so every piece I make is unique - it has never been made before. Sturdy. Rest assured this is a very solid piece of furniture, you can overload it with as many books and electronic devices as you can find. I use only hardwood and traditional joinery, so unlike manufacturers, our furniture is made to last. Spacious. Each shelf space is 13" deep by 12" tall by 34" in length, which is plenty of room for a least 200 books or a even 1000+ albums. These dimensions are also customizable - let us know what you need! Ergonomic. The whole bookcase stands at 70" inches tall by 14" inches deep by 39" inches in length. Each shelf showcases a natural curve around your living space, minimizing sharp edges that can bruise or lead to splinters. Affordable. It may seem like a big investment, but because our furniture will last throughout your life (and live to see your grandchildren), it's a wise investment that saves you money over time. No more new IKEA furniture every 2 years, or Crate and Barrel furniture every 7. It will last FAR longer than any manufactured furniture could, saving you money in the long run.

Keep Furniture is a Brooklyn-based small business (run by me, Steven Bennett). I make high-end furniture at an affordable price. Each piece is custom made from start to finish. I hand pick every piece of wood, and work with you along each step of the process to make something that feels personal to you that you’ll want to keep forever. I use locally sourced, sustainable hardwood.
I believe in making unique, ergonomic, minimalist designs that showcase, above all, the beauty of the wood. Furniture doesn’t have to be all rectangles and boxes.
Looking for a custom piece that you can’t find anywhere? I can make it happen.
