Full details

The FDB Mobler B98 Bookcase is for individuals seeking a versatile and aesthetically pleasing storage solution crafted from sustainable materials. Its key benefit lies in its highly configurable design, allowing for vertical, horizontal, stacked, or wall-mounted arrangements to suit various spatial needs. A potential caveat is the natural variation in wood grain, which contributes to each piece's uniqueness but means no two units will be identical.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of the B98 bookcase?

The B98 bookcase is available in various depths. Please refer to the product specifications for precise measurements of each available variant.

Is assembly required?

The B98 bookcase is designed for minimal assembly. The primary setup involves configuring its orientation (vertical, horizontal, stacked, or wall-mounted) and attaching any necessary wall anchors.

Can I mix different depths of B98 bookcases?

Yes, the B98 series is designed for combinations, and mixing different depths can create interesting visual effects. Ensure stability, especially when stacking.

What does 'FSC-certified' mean for the oak wood?

FSC certification means the wood comes from forests managed responsibly, ensuring environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

How many compartments does each B98 unit have?

Each B98 bookcase unit is designed with two compartments.

Can the bookcase be painted or stained?

The bookcase comes with a varnished oak finish. Modifying the finish is not recommended as it may void warranty and could affect the natural beauty of the wood.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

Specific weight capacity details are not provided, but the bookcase is designed for standard book and decorative item storage. Ensure stability, especially when stacked or wall-mounted.

Troubleshooting

Bookcase is wobbly when freestanding

Ensure the unit is on a level surface. If stacking more than two units, ensure it is securely anchored to the wall.

Wall mounting is difficult

Confirm that you are using the correct wall anchors for your wall type and that the pre-drilled holes align properly. Consult a professional if unsure.

Finish appears uneven or different from expected

This is a natural characteristic of wood. Slight variations in grain and color are expected and contribute to the unique beauty of each piece.

Cannot stack more than two units safely

For stacking three or more units, wall anchoring is mandatory for safety and stability. Follow the wall-mounting instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The B98 bookcase can be configured in several ways:

  1. Freestanding (Vertical/Horizontal): Place the unit on its edge or laid down horizontally. Up to two boxes can stand independently.
  2. Wall Mounting: For a secure installation, use the pre-drilled holes to attach the bookcase to a suitable wall with appropriate anchors. Ensure the wall type is compatible with the chosen anchors.
  3. Stacking: Units can be stacked. For configurations of more than two boxes, secure anchoring to the wall is required for stability and safety.

Compatibility:

  • The B98 bookcase is designed to be combined with other FDB Mobler B98 units of compatible depths.
  • Ensure wall anchors are suitable for your specific wall material (e.g., drywall, brick, concrete).

Care:

  • Clean the varnished oak surface with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
  • Wood is a natural material; minor variations in appearance are normal and do not indicate a defect.
