Milk Street True Hutch/Bookcase (Snow Storm)

Thick angular frames against simple spindles offer a contrast that we love. Textured surfaces against clean solid objects provide a strong feeling of cubism that would make Picasso and Klee proud daddies. Our Two-tone finish adds yet another dimension to shapes and elements that are simple, yet sophisticated. Cribs and Case pieces ordered in our Mud with Snow finish, offer solid wood frames, heavily sandblasted, to reveal the natural topography of the woodgrain. The unique characture of the tree used in construction makes each piece a one of a kind masterpiece! We chose to finish the True Collection using contrast in color and texture, pairing a clean, fresh white with earthy warm age and wear. Pure passion from mother nature herself! The True Collection comes to you in the perfect finish, Mud with Snow. After mixing hundreds of white formulas at the Valspar lab. Milk Street?s Snow is the best white you will find. While it may seem easily achieved, we believe white is the toughest color to mix. It must be clean and simple with no yellow or pink undertones to be found. Every True Crib is a one of a kind work of art. The unique distressing techniques and color mix offers total depth with a multifaceted brown grey. The woodgrain of our Mud finish shows like mountain ranges, with peaks and valleys all of which reflect light at different angles. It offers a perfect contrast to Snow. •Hutch/Bookcase? Milk Street?s 2-shelf hutch is finished beautifully on top so you can choose to use it atop our double dresser or set it on the floor and use it as a bookcase. On the base, or bottom shelf, four screw-on feet and mounting hardware are included with the hutch/bookcase to make it a truly substantial bookcase. We also include an anti-tip hardware kit to be used for added stability whether it is functioning as a hutch or as a bookcase. The underside of the hutch is covered with a thick felt to protect the top of your 6-drawer dresser. All of the shelves on our hutch/bookcase are adjustable and come with self-locking clips. We include a light you can affix to the underside of one shelf to enhance the display of decorative items on its shelves. This light can also serve as a nightlight for your baby or toddler. It can be recharged through the use of the included USB cable.A new addition to the hutch bookcase for 2019 is our clothing rod option. We want you to have optimal flexibility with this piece. Use some or a mix of all of our pieces included to totally customize your nursery. You will find a cut-out on the bottom edge of the hutch so you can slide wires through when choosing to put a TV or computer on the case top. This cut-out, while a simple feature, will keep electrical wires out of sight and reach of small hands. Make sure if you are using this piece as a bookcase on the floor that you install the front two legs at the correct height (slightly higher) as shown in the assembly manual. It should sit slightly higher in front, so that the bookcase leans back, keeping the weight of the bookcase against the wall. Just one more thing Milk Street does to keep everything as childproof as possible! •CASES All of our cases are artisan built out of solid wood construction. The cases in the True Collection do use MDF as one of our materials. In order to get a smooth modern look and feel, this material does work best. Our cases require no assembly. Corner blocks are added to case frames for reinforced stability. Drawer boxes are built large for extra storage space with 15mm thick, sturdy sides. Each individual drawer box is also built with corner blocks to add strength and integrity, keeping drawers squared up. English dovetail joinery is used to assure drawers last. This joinery technique assures the strongest durability and highest quality in your drawers (holds up to 100lbs). We make our dovetails themselves extra deep, adding even more strength to a technique known, world-wide, as the highest of construction standards! The interiors of our drawers are sanded multiple times, then clear coated on all sides with a smooth finish to assure nothing will snag clothing. We use full-extension, high grade metal drawer glides, mounted underneath drawer bottoms to assure optimum operation for the life of your case. These mechanisms are also self-closing, which not only keeps your nursery quiet, but helps protect tiny fingers from slamming drawers! The backs of all Milk Street cases are finished, and screwed on for longevity; never stapled. The bottoms of all our cases feature a cedar dust catcher to keep clothes dust free and also to help protect woolen items. Up to 30 sets of hands will touch each Milk Street piece before it passes final inspection. Each case, as well as the hutch/bookcase includes anti-tipping hardware and foot levelers with instructions for ease of application and use.
