John Lewis Calia Bookcase

How would we describe our Calia range of furniture? Well for starters, it's loved for its industrial aesthetic and strong welded iron details, which have a wire-brushed and distressed finish. But it's also loved for its natural charm. Individual slats of solid oak make up the rustic surfaces which have been thoughtfully chosen by skilled craftspeople. They ensure that the natural pattern of the wood grain, even with its unique irregularities, uphold the design and quality standards that we're known for. This ensures our Calia range offers a look that's as authentic as possible. With four shelves that increase in size towards the base, style this bookcase with your best accessories, favourite photos or even a plant or two. It's incredibly sturdy, built with the addition of oak veneers and it will look really impressive in your space. 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. More information can be found in the assembly instructions supplied.
