Quick answer: Choose freestanding or wall-mounted based on your wall, anchor any tall tree bookshelf to a stud, put heavier books on the lower and wider branches, and leave about a third of each shelf empty for plants and objects so the tree shape still reads.

Unique grain
Wild wood like the wild mulberry tree bookshelf brings color and figure that no two trees share.
Frequently asked questions
Do tree bookshelves need anchoring?
Yes — anchor tall pieces to a wall stud with the included or a standard anti-tip kit.
How many books fit?
It depends on the model; each listing gives shelf sizes so you can estimate capacity.
How do I dust the branches?
A soft brush or microfiber cloth reaches between branches; re-oil once a year.
