The Carlson etageres are tall yet sleek, the open framework and design feels airy, but the metal support detail adds a substantial feel. The most intriguing design detail is the LED lighting strip inset on the back of the vertical wood frame, when lit it illuminates just enough to cast a glow on the wall it is placed in front of. It is stylish without being glaring and it is unexpected in the most interesting way. The brushed champagne metal finish paired with the Sheer Dove wood finish can look contemporary or classic depending on the style of the room it is in and when these etageres are paired with the Carlson credenza they can function as a media wall system or work well as functional storage in a dining room.
