Frequently asked questions about the hollow log shelf unit--Variation on a Hollow Log
The top and base separate for moving and set-up.
The top section sits without fasteners on the lower trunk portion. The top is sufficiently heavy which gives good stability. If desired, screws can be used to attach the two pieces together.

When moving, avoid using the two upper outside shelves as lifting handles. Always grasp the heavier trunk part. Obviously, 4 hands are better than 2- get help to ease the assembly.
As with all non-manufactured wood products, such as plywood or chipboard, place the unit away from heating and cooling sources, and direct sunlight. The wood will move with changes in humidity and temperature. This is normal. Notice in the photos that the top of the bottom, and the bottom of the top, utilize slotted screws to allow for wood movement.
