The Indestructible Bookcase

Built entirely from humble 2x12s, this ultra-durable bookcase was designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of family life. Featuring strong joinery like box joints and housed tenons, it combines clean lines with surprising toughness—no flimsy backing, no shortcuts.

A chalk paint finish gives it a soft, modern feel, while its structure is anything but soft. Ideal for kids’ rooms, busy homes, or anywhere furniture needs to pull its weight.
