Steam Punk Wall Mounted Bookshelves
Williston Forge
Made of 1.5” thick panel steel pipe, the vertical supports attach to the wall with a metal disc and screws. This ensures the bookshelf remains stable and secure against your wall. Six wood shelves each can support up to 20 lbs.
Designer Advice:
This is a perfect open shelved wall mounted bookcase standing 85.5” tall with 24” wide shelves. The bookcase can be mounted in two ways. Two flat feet can stand on the floor with the corner pipe mounts attached to the wall at the top of the shelves. Alternately, the bookshelves can float off the floor by attaching the corner mounts at the bottom and allowing the feet to finish the top of the case. Two center pipe supports help carry the weight.
