A tall bookcase does more than hold books. It draws the eye up, gives a short wall some architecture, and turns the corner of a home office into somewhere you actually want to sit and work.

The Essex bookcase carries the same two-tone Black and Whiskey finish as the rest of the collection, with warm wood shelving framed against a dark case so the things you display stand out instead of disappearing into the background. Legends hand builds the Essex collection in the United States. Exact shelf count and case dimensions for this particular model are still being confirmed with the manufacturer, so see it on our Sumner floor before you commit. Pair it with the matching Essex desk and file cabinet for a full office wall, or stand one on its own beside a reading chair.
