Product Description
Every shelving piece of the Oppen line has an open back. Paying homage to some of the best Scandinavian furniture designs, this piece has a clean and unfussy look to it. The thick solid wood shelves provide extra support but also match the substantial frame on the rest of the piece. The open back allows greater flexibility in positioning the piece in your home. It can be placed against a wall but it also can be centered in a room too.
Please note the materials in our photos on this website may look slightly different from the actual wood used in the final product. Before finalizing your purchase, we strongly suggest ordering some real wood samples using our sample ordering page.

This is an excellent short bookshelf, very heavy with sturdy shelves and looks great in our refurbished office. Our printer also sits on the top.

Love it!! Was hesitant to purchase since 57NorthPlank does not have a storefront but have not regretted it at all! The materials are of solid quality – and the piece has a substantial heft to it. The maple color is beautiful and would fit in a lot of different decors.

Nothing to put together and the shelf packaging was amazing. The bookshelf might be a little pricey but I think it is solid and well constructed.

Beautiful, clean piece. It’s sturdy. It’s already assembled and it’s the perfect size for our family room.

I got this shelf unit in maple for the living room under the tv and it helped bring some order to the chaos. The extra depth with the open back is nice for components and cords used by the tv. We had to move it slightly after delivery and the unit is really heavy. It is nice being able to adjust the shelves since we have put taller books on the bottom. Great piece!
