Unique Primtiques 80" Tall Dark Walnut Stained & Mountain Blue Bookshelf
Size: 11" x 46" x 80" high
CUSTOM ORDERS ON SIZE/COLOR ALSO WELCOME! (larger sizes may be a higher price, please see our other listings or message us for a custom listing...no additional charges for different colored paints or stains!)
ABOUT THIS PIECE: Made from Top Choice Douglas Fir Wood! I tapered the legs on this piece 11" at the bottom up to 9" at the top with a 10-1/2" w x 46" l top framework. I also used thicker, heavier boards on the bottom shelf, as well as thicker bottom shelf supports that sit on the floor, to help keep the piece balanced and from wanting to tip forward. I put a divider in the center of the bottom shelf not only for looks but a little more added weight at the bottom, again to help with keeping such a tall piece balanced correctly. Each shelf is a little bit smaller in width ranging from 11" at the bottom up to 9" at the top. If you would like us to build you a custom bookshelf like this one, or without the tapered legs and shelving, please message us with the size you need!

Scott D.

He has a great passion for animals and wild connection and love of the great outdoors! His vibrant, colorful art can be found all over the world and especially in many small coastal shops, beachside rentals and high-end coastal homes up and down the eastern coastline of the beautiful shores of the United States.
As a child he was influenced heavily by his family's outdoor camping and fishing trips as well as vacations to the Florida coastline. Scott has since returned many times with his own family and regularly goes on kayaking, fishing, camping and hiking adventures with his wife and children. Scott runs a full-time rustic furniture business called Unique Primtiques here on Etsy with thousands of sales and 5-star feedback. His tremendous love for nature and the great outdoors keeps him connected to his rustic furniture and home décor creations!
He started working with wood at a young age with his father in a small workshop and grew up in the hills of Brown County, Indiana deep in the woods on 40-acres helping his father cut trees and pull branches to brush piles for burning. He joined his schools woodworking shop classes in the 7th grade at the age of 12 and took woodworking & metal working classes through junior high and focused just on woodworking during high school 7th-12th grade. Scott was refurbishing vintage and mid-century furniture for locals here in southern Indiana and his creations and woodworking became overwhelmingly popular. He decided to leave his job in 2007 after his battle with cancer and start his own full-time woodworking business.

ABOUT UNIQUE PRIMTIQUES CUSTOM WOODWORKING: We sell primitive & rustic furniture from new, reclaimed and often times distressed wood. Expect knots, cracks, dents, dings, marks, discolorations. In most cases we make sure the piece has some of all of the above. All of our pieces are handmade one at a time. We love doing what we do and it shows!
Variations in size, color and texture are common occurrences in reclaimed wood and should not be considered as defects. Such features as old saw marks, nail or worm holes, uneven boards, sunspots etc. are what make these tables unique and special. While every precaution has been taken in our finishing process to prevent movement in the wood, fine splits, warping, wobbles may occur as the wood adjusts to new conditions of your home. Please realize that your computer monitor settings may show colors different than ours, some photos are taken on bright sunny days, others on cloudy days, some under inside artificial lighting, some on snow covered days outside. People see colors differently. What may look like aqua blue to myself may look like teal blue to you. We allow our customers to send us a paint brand name/color name and/or color code to use on your order at no extra charge and because of this we do NOT refund on any color issues as we will purchase and use the exact paint or stain color you tell us to use. All color changes must be in the payment note area during checkout, not in back and forth message threads, emails, phone convo's, texts or social media pages, to help us avoid any missed communication with a color change! Size changes must be approved by us first through Etsy messaging only and the left in the payment note area during checkout through the listing link you are instructed to use or through a special custom listing link created just for your custom sizing! Just message us through the listing link you like best with the size and coloring you need!
Our pieces are constructed of solid wood and have experienced the changing seasons, it is likely that you will see shrinkage and expansion . Sometimes you might even see small cracks and splits. Since we strive to have our pieces reflect the feeling of actual antiques, our customers must understand that our furniture could have the same tendency to warp, contract, expand, or split. These similarities between antiques and our furniture may not be desired but should be expected and tolerated. Our furniture is made out of a material that was once alive, and it will always have some seasonal movement. Normal problems such as these should not be repaired as they reflect the nature of such an authentically made reproduction. We build ALL of our furniture complete before painting/staining and taking back apart and labeling pieces for shipment. Nothing is ever cut and pre-drilled without continuing to be built complete, this way there is never a missing piece or misaligned screw/nail holes or wrong sized leg, major wobbles and so forth.
WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OUR RUSTIC, HAND-CRATED FURNITURE AND RUSTIC HOME DECOR. We sell high quality, hand-made items and try our best to make each piece like the photos of the previous one we've created but they are again HAND-MADE items, each one WILL be different in its own way and may not be an exact match to the photo. Each piece will grow to have its own personality, and will be UNIQUE in its own way! Welcome to Unique Primtiques!
