Five of the six shelves are angled rather than flat, so magazines and large-format books lean face-out and stay readable at a glance - closer to a display rack than a storage shelf. The top shelf stays level for boxes or a lamp. Shelves measure 34 x 12 in with 9.5 in between them and the base sits 4 in off the floor. Total capacity is 230 lbs across a 35.5 x 12 x 63.5 in frame weighing 46.5 lbs in engineered wood and metal. A user manual is included; anchor it once loaded.
