Anchor your living space or hallway with the Cleo Natural Ash & Black 3-Tier Wide Bookshelf. This expansive unit masterfully juxtaposes the pale, organic warmth of natural ash timber with the bold, architectural lines of a matte black frame. Drawing on the "Scandi-Noir" and "Japandi" aesthetics, the Cleo Wide Console offers a low-profile storage solution that is striking, modern, and structurally reassuring.

Key Features

  • Graphic Contrast: The sharp pairing of light ash wood against a black metal frame creates a high-impact, architectural look that draws the eye without overwhelming the room.

  • Expansive Display Surface: The wide, open-tier layout provides substantial space for oversized art books, media equipment, and curated ceramic collections.

  • Softened Geometry: Designed with smooth, rounded edges to ensure a safe, child-friendly profile that softens the unit's linear structure.

  • Versatile Functionality: Functions effortlessly as a low-line media unit, a welcoming hallway console, or a sofa back feature to zone open-plan spaces.

Why Choose the Cleo Ash & Black Wide Console?

The combination of natural ash and black is a defining feature of the "Modern Industrial" trends currently popular in Australian homes. The black frame acts as a silhouette, framing your display items like artwork, while the light timber prevents the piece from feeling too dark or heavy. It offers a sophisticated edge that works beautifully in monochrome or neutral colour schemes.

Styling Tip: Play up the graphic nature of the unit by arranging books by colour, specifically whites and creams, to pop against the black frame, and add a black planter with lush greenery to tie the look together.

How to care for your new Cleo Bookshelf

For Timber & Veneer Surfaces:

Always clean with a soft, damp cloth — never use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Wipe up spills immediately using a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel.

Avoid direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure may fade the finish or cause discolouration over time.

Use coasters, placemats, and protective pads to prevent marks, scratches, or moisture damage from hot or acidic items (like citrus).

For Metal Components:

Mild, non-abrasive cleaners can be used safely on metal parts. Be sure to wipe off any residue with a clean, soft cloth.

Avoid applying acidic substances, such as lemon juice or vinegar, directly onto metal or timber surfaces.

General Tips

Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Keep out of direct harsh sunlight as this may cause fading.

Safety & Care Guidelines

At Seek & Ramble, we carefully design and build our furniture with stability and style in mind. However, for added safety, and as per ACCC guidelines, we strongly recommend securing storage furniture using the included wall anchor straps.

Installation Tips

For the most secure attachment, we suggest consulting a professional tradesperson or your local hardware store to ensure the correct hardware is used for your specific wall type.

If you’re living in a rental property, chat with your landlord or property manager before installing wall anchors.

Important Safety Considerations

Furniture stability can be affected by uneven or soft flooring — make sure surfaces are level before placing your piece.

Avoid placing heavy or objects that may be tempting to children on high shelves, which could encourage climbing.

Please prevent children from climbing or pulling on furniture to prevent tipping.

WARNING: Tip-over incidents involving children have resulted in serious injuries and fatalities.

To reduce the risk, this furniture should be anchored to a wall using the included safety hardware.

Sydney pick up available on request.

We ship all furniture in Australia from our Villawood Warehouse.

At Seek & Ramble, our goal is to provide quick and easy shipping at an affordable price. All our products are packaged for transit and will be handled by professional third-party delivery carriers. We have partnered with all the reputable couriers you know to ensure you receive your order, safely and on time. This may result in your order having multiple shipments from separate delivery partners. Speed of delivery depends on the type of product, product availability, and proximity to metropolitan areas.

We use Flat Shipping rates to make shopping easier.

Furniture

  • Australia – Flat Rates available in the shopping cart.

Before you order, it's important to double-check that your item will fit in its packaging through all doorways, staircases, and elevators. We provide product dimensions as well as carton/box size on our site so take a look before placing an order – otherwise, unexpected delivery charges may apply!

SPECIAL OFFERS (E.G. FREE SHIPPING)

Free shipping may be offered at specified times and on specified products during special sales events. Where free shipping is offered, it will only be available on the selected products and to selected locations.

TYPES OF DELIVERY

By default, we provide Basic Shipping.

Basic Shipping

Get ready for your order to arrive! Depending on the delivery location, it will be delivered by the courier without any unpacking or assembly. When it’s time to ship, we'll send you a notification with tracking details so that you can follow along and know when it's almost here.

It will only go as far as the ground floor—so if an elevator or staircase is involved in access, they won't come up but leave the package at the entrance instead. In case no one is available to sign the receipt of goods upon arrival, they’ll drop off a card outlining alternative arrangements.

Note: The delivery person will not bring the items into your home. Unboxing, assembly, and rubbish removal are also not part of the service.

We can organise other delivery options as requested. These may incur other charges. Feel free to contact us for more info.

RECEIVING ITEMS

We take the utmost care when delivering your order - please inspect it carefully upon arrival and report any damage or faults within 2 business days. To ensure a replacement, repair, or full refund of an item due to defectiveness, Seek & Ramble reserves the right in its absolute discretion to determine whether such is needed after considering necessary factors. If you do encounter these issues with items from us just shoot us some photos and we promise, we'll respond within 48hrs!

ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE

‘Estimated Delivery’ lead times shown on each product page indicate the estimated date range you can expect the item to arrive at your delivery location.

Dispatch of your furniture order will be next business day (Wall Art – 2-3 Days as these items are made to order)

This lead time includes time taken for stock movement from manufacturing locations to our warehouse (this includes factors such as whether an item is made-to-order), and last-mile delivery to your door.

Please note that lead time dates are an estimate and may be subject to potential unforeseen delays if any.

SCHEDULING AND TRACKING OF SHIPMENTS

Stay up to date on your shipment's journey until it reaches you! We'll email you once it leaves our warehouse and provide the tracking information from Australia Post or Startrack. If you have requested another service or carrier, they will contact you directly with a delivery time frame so that everything arrives safely at your door.

DELAYED SHIPMENT / DELIVERY DUE TO UNFORESEEN SITUATIONS

At Seek & Ramble, we understand that events outside of our control can lead to unforeseen delays in shipment. In such cases, we reserve the right to reschedule your delivery according to the availability of time slots but unfortunately cannot guarantee any specific times. Any loss or expense incurred as a result will not be accepted by us. Seek & Ramble shall not be liable for any consequences, or any loss suffered or expenses incurred (whether direct or indirect) due to the delay in the shipment/delivery of the goods and no such delay shall entitle the customer to treat this agreement as being repudiated by Seek & Ramble or to any comparison.

REDELIVERY FEE

Need to make a change to your delivery date? You'll need to let us know at least 3 business days before it's due – otherwise, you might have an extra fee coming your way!

UNABLE TO ACCESS REQUIRED AREAS

If you're looking to add something large and heavy to your house, make sure that it'll fit into the space first! Check out product dimensions on our website before you order so there won't be any surprises - like extra charges for failed delivery because of size issues.

MISSED DELIVERIES

We want to make sure your package reaches you safely, on time and in the right place! We'll send a notification or our delivery partner may contact you - that’s when it's time to double-check your address. Be there during the allocated slot or let us know if something comes up so we can reschedule ahead of time with no extra charge. No-shows are sent back to base camp for restocking; however, re-delivery will cost you an additional fee!

SIGNING OF PROOF OF DELIVERY RECEIPT (POD)

Before signing your Point of Delivery (POD), make sure to check all the details! Confirm that it's actually intended for you, that everything in the order was delivered and most importantly, ensure there is no damage. Otherwise, Seek & Ramble won't be able to authorise any claims afterwards - so do a thorough inspection first!

Checklist:

  1. Before signing off on delivery, be sure to inspect each carton for any visible signs of damage.
  2. Confirm the items you received match up with what's listed in your order and POD - so that can you ensure everything is as it should be!
  3. In the case of serious damage to a carton – or if the property has been damaged by delivery – make sure to take pictures right away then mark further details onto your POD: photos will help document exactly what happened from start to finish!

After you’ve gone through your entire shipment and documented any issues, you may obtain the driver’s signature or initials next to your notes about the damaged items on the POD.

*Please do not dispose cartons until the issue is resolved.

FAQs

How much weight can each shelf hold?

Each shelf is designed to comfortably hold up to 10kg, with a total maximum load of 30kg for the 3 tier bookcase and 50kg for 5 Tier. For best results, we recommend evenly distributing weight across the shelves and placing heavier items on the bottom to maintain stability.

What is timber Veneer & Manufactured Wood?

Manufactured wood, also known as engineered wood or composite wood, refers to a type of wood product that is created by binding together wood fibres, particles, or veneers with adhesives under heat and pressure.

Manufactured wood offers several advantages, including increased stability, uniformity, and resistance to warping and shrinking. Timber veneer surfaces in furniture involve the application of a thin layer of real wood veneer onto the surface of a furniture piece.

Veneers are slices or sheets of real wood, typically obtained from a log through a process called slicing or peeling. These veneers are then applied to the manufactured wood substrate or other surfaces using adhesives.

Timber veneer surfaces provide the appearance and feel of real wood while offering a natural wood aesthetic with variations in grain patterns and colours.

Is the Cleo bookcase easy to assemble?

Yes, the Cleo range is designed for straightforward assembly. It arrives flat-packed to ensure safe transport and includes clear, step-by-step instructions. Most customers find that the bolt-together metal frame and pre-drilled shelves allow for a quick setup.

Will the Cleo 3-Tier Console fit in a narrow hallway?

Yes, the Cleo 3-Tier Console is specifically designed with a slim depth profile to suit Australian hallways and entryways. It provides ample display and storage space without obstructing the walkway, making it a practical solution for narrower thoroughfares where floor space is at a premium.

What is your change of mind return policy for the Cleo bookcase?

We want you to be delighted with your new furniture. If the Cleo bookcase doesn't quite match your space, you can generally return it within 30 days of delivery. Please note that to qualify for a refund, the item must be returned in its original, undamaged packaging and must not have been assembled.
