This free standing wall unit is made of birch and has black lacquered columns. It shows similarities to the designs of Wilhelm Lutjens for Gouda Den Boer. A beautiful item in its simplicity and transparency. Over time some disformation has occured to the shelves and therefore it can be somewhat unstable. Wall mounting it with a little wallplate would be advised. It is in a good condition with some signs of age and use. All has been sanded, lacquered and is all as new and fresh for many more years of use.
