Finish. Malta is offered in walnut wood veneer or white lacquer.

The Malta bookcase is a low run of eight open cubbies, 72 inches wide and 34.5 inches high, that shows off books, baskets and objects without the weight of a tall shelving wall. Its waist height lets it stand behind a sofa, under a window or along a hallway without dominating the room. It is built in MDF, finished in walnut wood veneer or high-gloss white lacquer, and delivered assembled. The grid of square openings gives a Modern or Scandinavian room a calm, architectural rhythm.

Care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe spills right away with a slightly damp cloth and dry the surface; avoid standing water, abrasive pads, ammonia and silicone polishes. Keep the piece out of strong direct sun and away from heat vents, which can fade veneer and stress lacquer. Wood veneer varies naturally in grain and tone.
