John Lewis & Partners Calia Bookshelf

Made predominantly from solid American white oak, our Calia range of furniture has a natural, rustic look thanks to its wire-brushed, distressed finish. Each piece is made from individual wood slats that are carefully selected and sorted by skilled craftsman. They ensure that the natural pattern in the wood grain, even with its unique irregularities, uphold our design and quality standards, to offer an authentic and tactile look. This industrial-inspired, functional bookshelf is designed with four shelves that increase in size to the base. Supported by a robust, welded iron frame that's finished with a durable lacquer, it's a striking feature piece for living rooms and ideal for showcasing your best home accessories. Worth knowing Oak is a natural, living material, and part of its charm is that it develops over time. This means that surface splits may start to appear with the natural movement of the wood. Knots will vary in size and location and a subtle colour variation can also be expected. These distinctive qualities give the range a unique feel, as no two pieces will be exactly the same. To keep your furniture looking its best, we recommend periodic oiling and oiling before first use. This is applicable to the Oak version only, as the Dark version has a lacquered finish.
