Bookshelf Scala -kd

The BOOKSHELF SCALA -KD is a vertical storage unit constructed entirely from solid mindi wood. Mindi wood, known botanically as Melia azedarach, features a straight grain pattern and a fine texture that accepts finishes evenly, resulting in a consistent surface appearance across the entire frame. The natural coloration of the timber displays light blonde to pale reddish-brown tones, which are preserved through a protective clear sealant that guards against moisture absorption and surface abrasion while retaining the wood’s organic tactility.

Measuring 45.00 centimeters in width, 33.00 centimeters in depth, and standing at a height of 188.00 centimeters, this tall bookcase occupies a minimal floor footprint while verticalizing storage capacity. The 33-centimeter depth accommodates standard hardcover books, binders, and decorative objects without protruding excessively into surrounding walkways or room layouts. With a total weight of 16.00 kilograms, the unit remains stable during normal use yet manageable for relocation or assembly procedures. The Knock-Down (KD) construction designation indicates that the shelving unit is engineered for flat-pack transport, reducing the shipping volume to 0.2800 cubic meters. This modular breakdown allows the physical components to be disassembled or initially assembled using standard mechanical fasteners, facilitating transport through narrow corridors, stairwells, or doorways where pre-assembled furniture cannot pass.

The structural framework relies on vertical side panels that interface directly with fixed horizontal shelves. The joinery utilizes internal dowels and metal cam-lock connectors concealed within the thickness of the mindi wood panels, maintaining clean exterior lines without visible screw heads on the primary display faces. The back panel consists of a fitted plywood insert seated within a routed perimeter groove, adding lateral stability and preventing the shelving bays from racking under asymmetrical loads. Each shelf is fixed horizontally to distribute weight evenly down the vertical load-bearing stiles to the floor.

The base of the bookshelf incorporates low-profile wooden plinths that elevate the lowest shelf slightly above floor level, protecting the lower mindi wood grain from direct contact with floor cleaning equipment or moisture. The top panel finishes the vertical run with a flat, flush surface, allowing the upper plane to be used for supplementary display or storage if ceiling clearance permits.

Maintenance requirements for the BOOKSHELF SCALA -KD involve standard wood care protocols. Dusting with a dry, lint-free cloth removes surface particulate matter, while occasional wiping with a damp cloth followed immediately by a dry towel preserves the protective clear coat. Direct exposure to localized heat sources or prolonged direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent moisture loss and subsequent movement within the solid mindi wood components. The hardware connecting the KD elements should be periodically checked and tightened to maintain structural rigidity over extended periods of daily use.
