How tall is it, and will it fit under a ceiling?

It stands 70.8 inches tall, just under six feet. Check ceiling height and any ceiling fixtures before placing it upright.

Does it need to be fixed to the wall?

A tall MDF bookcase should be anchored to the wall, especially in homes with children or pets. Use the included or suitable anti-tip hardware.

The main material is MDF, a dense engineered wood. It is stable and paints well but should be kept away from moisture and direct water.

The door section hides clutter that open shelves expose, but open shelves are easier to rearrange and usually cheaper for the same height.

Dry indoor rooms work best: living room, office, bedroom or hallway. Avoid bathrooms, basements and other damp spaces where MDF can swell.
