Bibliothèque ouverte Celine 70 ", taupe antique

I am so happy with my Celine Bookcase purchase in Walnut! I knew that I needed to shop on wayfair so that I could filter down all items to my exact needs. And Celine delivered. Firstly, it was packaged so well. An overwhelming box but packed so securely that there was no damage. Assembly was easy and the drawer base was put together already. So the vertical rails and the shelves were the primary focus. Everything lined up perfectly and was easy to tighten etc. I love the walnut finish. It is true to the pictures online and coordinates beautifully with my furniture. There are less expensive options but I would imagine they would appear that way too. Not Celine, she has a rich finish and just looks like a quality piece of furniture. I thought I would try to add lighting, but after living with it for a couple of weeks it just is not necessary. I have a naturally bright space and the items I have placed on the shelves show beautifully. I recently downsized and really wanted this piece to have somewhere to put some of my sentimental items without overwhelming my combined living and dining space. This was the perfect solution. My only criticism is of the area pictured of the joinery that did not take the stain uniformly. It is on an exposed vertical rail, but not noticeable in my specific placement. I would not expect this on a quality finished piece. Maybe a fluke. It was not worth my effort to have a replacement rail sent. Other than that I am a very happy customer!
