How wide is the opening where you put books (on the flat shelves)? I see that the height is adjustable, but I'm wondering about the width.

Hi Kelly. I'm not sure I'm understanding your question correctly, so get back to me if this doesn't answer your question. If you're talking about the width of the books that you stack to see the spines (with the adjustable shelves), the width there is 15". The side to display the books is 22" wide. If you want some pictures, let me know how to send them.

Just a few inches .. Not at home to measure it but it doesn't hold many books upright without them falling over because there isn't a good angle to tilt back and keep them from falling out. But I still love this bookcase

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

Hello Don, The shelves are adjustable. The unit comes with 2 shelves and a standard "peg" system that allows you to adjust the high of the shelf. I hope this helps.

Yes, the middle shelf is adjustable. If you have the middle shelf set in the middle position both shelves can accommodate 12 inch books.

The shelves adjust vertically. So as long as the books don't exceed the shelf depth, the book will fit. We use the shelves for paperbacks and they fit well.

Hi, Stephanie. The shelves adjust by one inch increments, so the height is pretty much whatever you want it to be.

The open shelves are adjustable about every 2 inches. The inside shelves are only adjustable in 3 heights. Approx 6", 8" and 10" from the bottom.

I have not used it for books but it is study enough to hold them. The shelves are only around 6" deep so you would be limited to the size of book you could put in it.

Is that the description? I just measured mine, and it's nearly 7 inches high. Currently I have a hardback novel on it; the height of the novel is 9.5 inches, and the thickness is just over an inch - it fits nicely.

About 12 inches. I have dozens of books on mine. Vertical or horizontal will fit.

They won't fit easily enough to be handy getting them in or out if you are storing them upright with top and bottom shelves equidistant. There is a ridge on each shelf in the front and a skirt at the top that hangs down an inch or so from the top and upper shelf making the opening close to 12". They would have to be put in at an angle, to get the advantage of the 13-14 inch space behind the skirt. However, The middle shelf is adjustable, so you could make it work for one shelf and then put smaller books on the other one. I bought three of these, and they are good, solid pieces of furniture.

I'm not sure. I don't think that the book holder itself is wide enough. There are 2 side sections but maybe if the rack goes to the end like the photo, it will sit above the side dividers. I've never used it for that.

Yes, it really is 17 inches. We put small board books on the horizontal shelves and bigger books in the tall slots. Plenty of space. Depends on what you want it for. We put it on top of a piece with three big bins that all the toys go in. We wanted this piece for books.

It is able to hold books up to 2 inches thick. It is roughly 15 inches wide.

Yes, the shelves are adjustable and it is strong enough to hold books. I bough my over a year ago and I am delighted with my purchase.

You can adjust the height of the shelves and can store the books either vertical or horizontal. You can even not use the shelves at all or only use as many as you like.

Mine is two door and the shelves are at least 16" wide and adjustable to any height you want
