For sure! Samples of specific finishes can be supplied per request, otherwise fittings can be purchased from the website as a sample.

Our standard finish for our brass products is a brushed finish. This means that the brass is live, and has no coating or wax. Live brass will patina over time and should be handled with care when first received as the oils from your skin will patina the brass quickly. Learn more on our Product Care page.

The shelves on The Origin Shelving Unit are adjustable. All units come disassembled for flat packing purposes and shelf height can be determined upon assembly and installation. Please be aware that the set screws do leave a mark on the tube, which might be visible if you adjust your shelf.

Once we receive your order, we will request a quote from our vendor and let you know the additional cost. Sizing is based on the width and depth provided in the shelving customizer. We use a standard 3/8" thickness tempered glass.
