Timber Vintique
Best seller
This bookshelf keeps the warmth, grain, and small variations of natural wood in clear view, with visible surfaces finished by hand.
Only the wooden bookshelf is sold.
Not included: books, bottles, electronics, baskets, and displayed collections; loose mounting or installation hardware; other non-wood accessories; decorative objects and styling props.
Wood grain, knots, edge contours, and color naturally vary from piece to piece. Product images show the expected character rather than an identical grain pattern.
These products are not waterproof. Their durable wood-and-finish construction is designed to handle ordinary accidental spills when liquid is wiped up promptly. Avoid standing water, soaking, submersion, and harsh cleaners.
SKU: MPK-WTB-10623
Exact dimensions for each size are listed on the option you select above. Most pieces arrive fully assembled; wall-mounted designs include hardware and a template. Measure doorways and stair turns before ordering — most pieces pass a standard 32-inch doorway.
Care: wipe with a soft, dry cloth and oil the grain once or twice a year to keep the surface nourished.
Your piece ships free in a protective wooden crate. Freight delivery comes with a scheduled window and tracking; white-glove service — carried inside, placed, packaging removed — is available at checkout.
Returns: 30 days from payment. Pieces need to be unused and in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup and walk you through repacking. Damaged or defective on arrival? We repair, replace or refund at no cost. Made-to-order pieces can be changed or cancelled while the build has not started.
Still deciding
The piece
Spanning 60 by 60 inches on the wall, the tree's soft, curving branches were drawn by our designers to double as shelves. An artisan shapes each limb from solid teak, sands every curve smooth for small reaching hands, and rubs a natural oil finish into the whole spread by hand — no film to chip off near a crib.
A nursery is the one room a parent reads the label on: food-safe, low-VOC, no formaldehyde. This has nothing to off-gas — solid teak, no particleboard core, no adhesive smell — so it arrives smelling faintly of wood and cured oil, safe for the toddler who mouths everything. It is the wall the room gets arranged around, and a handmade tree holding the books is a hard gift for grandparents to top.
Pajamas on, one book to choose. Small fingers walk the low branch, pull tonight's story, and the ritual that ends every day starts at the tree — the limb smooth and warm under a hand where a laminate edge would feel cold and hard.
Board books on the bottom limbs, chapter books climbing higher as the reader does. The tree keeps a visible record of how far they have come, and a dented corner from a thrown truck spot-sands out in ten minutes rather than staying a scar.
Afternoon sun crosses the nursery at three and the branches lay soft shadows over the crib wall. The room's quietest hour has its own slow show, and by a south window the teak deepens toward honey-amber over the first year rather than fading.
Every piece is made to order, and dimensions vary from one to the next. Need a different size for your space? Tell us your measurements and we'll build it to fit.

Along every branch, teak's tight, even grain follows the limb's curve, so each shelf reads as grown rather than cut — warm honey where the nursery light lands, no two limbs alike.
Teak carries its own natural oils. We hand-rub more into the branch faces and trunk, deepening the golden tone to a warm satin that never feels like plastic — a low-VOC oil, food-safe once cured, that opens smelling of wood, not chemicals.
At roughly 700 kilograms per cubic meter, with some of the lowest shrinkage of any hardwood, the mounted limbs hold their line under a growing library through dry winters and humid summers without loosening.
In a bright nursery window's sun, teak drifts toward silver-grey over the years — a surface change only, a paper-thin layer. A light sanding and fresh oil bring the branches back to gold whenever you like.
Teak stock is pulled one board at a time and matched by tone across trunk and branches, then kiln-dried so the wood has finished moving. Twisted or dull figure never makes the cut.
Each curving branch is traced from templates, then bandsawn slightly proud of the line, leaving material for the handwork on every curve.
Every limb and edge is sanded by hand through successive grits until each shelf feels safe and smooth to a child's reaching hand — no splinter, no sharp arris.
Oil goes on in thin coats, buffed between each. The maker checks mounting points, alignment, and finish before the tree is signed out.
One maker follows each piece from rough plank to the final coat of oil, and signs off before it is crated.
The Timber Vintique workshop
No two boards alike
Choose white-glove and the crew brings the piece inside, places it in the room, and removes every bit of packaging.
Each piece travels in its own wooden crate with corner protection, built to cross the country without a scuff.
You get a delivery appointment and tracking — not a truck that shows up unannounced.
30 days from payment. If it isn't right — unused, in original condition — we arrange the freight pickup. Made-to-order terms are stated up front.
