Are the sides completely flat so I could put two of these bookcases flush next to each other with no gap?

I don't think there will be a gap since the sides are flat and it would be flush but only if it's on hard floor and not on carpet.

I would say having two of these bookcases would work just fine side-by-side with no gaps. I really love my bookcase and am using it in my dining area to hold all my many cookbooks. It really is very nice looking and very solid.

They are "OK". I wouldn't fill them with books and whatever weight is on them needs to be evenly distributed from the front of the shelf to the back, especially on the lower shelves. With just the one upright piece on either side instead of two, balancing the weight is more important.

I think there is some composite wood. I have mine full of books and papers. It is very sturdy and the shelves are not sagging at all. My whole case is loaded! It would be great for a bookcase in my opinion!

Yes, the sides are flush. Would look great two together. The actual width is 35 1/4".

You cannot put the bookcase on opposite side. The top of desk is rounded at the corner in front of bookcase.

They are made to sit flush with each other and I have two units like this installed next to each other with no problem. They give you a clamp at that installs over the top to keep them together at the top. They look nice as a wall unit.

Yes they will I have 2 and if needed they can go side by side. The molding does not go over the ends so it is all flush.

Both halves cannot be placed flat. As the pictures shows it, the back is upright. I keep winter boots, shoes, etc. there along with a re-purposed milk crate that gloves and other assorted winter items get tossed into. This has been one the best investments that I've ever made. The quality is commercial grade...extremely sturdy. The bottom shelf is used more than I thought it would be. Love it!!

Possibly but not all the same shelf . You would have move them when you are ready to use them. They could not be " ready for use"

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

Yes. Very nice bookcase for the price and only takes few minutes to assemble. Instructions are simple and easy to follow.

No, the shelves need to fit into the upright posts. I placed two units side-by-side, with parallel shelves at the same height, thereby creating more or less the effect you are looking for.

Unfortunately not. When I built it, the instructions and everything was designed for the bookcase to be on the right side.

Each shelf has a lip, about 3/4" high. However, you could always intall a shelf edge-down, to avoid having the lip. Then it would be flat.

Unless you put a book at each end that is deep enough to span the opening, you will probably have to use bookends. There is no side support.

The spacing is whatever you want it to be, as there are cut-outs all up and down the vertical sides for the supports.These are handsome bookcases that I've been very happy having purchased.James GoodridgeDenver, CO
