Each “book” front features tooled leather-style spines with gilt accents and classic literary titles like Vanity Fair, The Sea Wolf, and The Republic. The faux pages on the sides and back are hand-painted to resemble gilt-edged paper, giving the whole piece an authentic, library-worthy presence.

It’s more than a novelty—each “book” front actually conceals a drawer, offering hidden storage for bedside or living room essentials. Resting on four bun feet, the piece has a sturdy weight and a smooth top surface, perfect for a lamp, drinks tray, or bedtime reading.
