About craftsmanship and material

"— |" Bookshelf refers to the traditional craftsmanship of tenon, e.g. zongzi tenon, cross tenon, and double-mitered tenon, which renders the bookshelf firmer. It is made of Afzeila which is solid, anti-acid, and rot-resistance. The color of wood is brown or red-brown, and it looks glossy after polishing. The wood is never wax-polished or painted, so it shows the natural appearance of wood, and the wood can breathe freely. Please avoid leaving hot stamping, water stain, or any other stains while using.
