Collection: Bookshelves & Bookcases

Choosing a bookshelf

• Space: An L-shaped corner unit makes use of a dead corner. A ladder shelf needs little depth in a hallway or small living room.
• Weight: Books are heavy, so keep them on the lower shelves and save the upper ones for lighter items.
• Style: S-shaped and geometric frames work as decor as much as storage. Black metal with wood gives an industrial look.
• Kids: Low cube units with a cushion or reading bench, plus a bin organizer, put books and toys at a child's height.

Frequently asked questions

Should a bookshelf be anchored to the wall?

Yes for tall units, especially with kids or pets at home. An anti-tip strap screwed into a stud keeps the shelf from falling over.

Open bookshelf or display cabinet?

An open shelf keeps everything within reach. A glass-door display cabinet keeps dust off collections and dishes while leaving them in view.
