Lighting Optional soft lighting is available for each section. Lighting is located behind the top front sections and provides glare-free down lighting. This is highlighting the book case for decorating purposes. This lighting is also useful in Bookwalls used as entertainment centers, as it reduces eyestrain for television viewing. Light units are not visible from the front.
Standard Bookwalls include a veneered shelf front edge. A wider solid hardwood shelf edge profile is available at additional cost.

Note that the wood shown below are representative of either solid wood or veneer-core products. Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood that ranges in color tone from near white through pinks and reds. Its subtle grain patterns are enhanced by localized color variations of green, pink, or yellow streaks. Cherry is known and expected to change and with age, creating a beautiful patina.
Maple is a dense, strong, fine-grained, smooth wood that is mostly off-white in color with streaks of gold, pink, and brown throughout. It can also have mild, dark streaks. The tightly swirled grain is very muted and subtle. For this reason, natural and light color stains are very popular.
Red Oak is a dense, strong, course-grained hardwood with color tones from near white or yellow to pink, red, or brown. Oak has streaks of green, gold, and black mineral deposits, as well as other natural characteristics, such as pin knots and flecks. Its grain is often described as a prominent flame-shaped pattern that is beautifully enhanced when finish color is applied.
Red Oak is exceptionally hard and displays excellent resistance to wear, making it a popular choice for bookshleves. Straight grained with a coarse texture, this strong wood works well in bookshelves. The sapwood is white to light brown, while the heartwood displays a light reddish hue.

Veneer Grades Select Veneer is composed entirely of heartwood or sapwood and is matched for both grain, pattern and color.
Uniform Veneer is also composed of entirely heartwood or sapwood, but is matched for color only.
Natural Veneer is composed of both heartwood and sapwood and is generally less expensive than select or uniform veneers.
Paint Grade Veneer has a smooth enough finish so none of the wood grain characteristics show through the paint.
Stain Grade Veneer is meant to take a clear or tinted stain and still show the natural characteristics of the wood.
