Will these "split" bookshelves with molding - fit well together side-by-side? I am looking for 4 or 5 for my library.

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.

Not sure,only bought one. Not impressed with the back,only cardboard. But would not cost much to replace with 1/4 plywood.

Yes, they will fit well side by side, and they are good looking. Enjoy!Faun Chidester

Yes they will. Once each shelf is assembled there is quite a bit of weight to it, though it doesn't seem that bulky. It is very sturdy.

I have mine spaced about 12 inches apart, but there are several options for each shelf. The bookcase was well worth the price.

I would say yes but you only have two shelves inside, so you want fit many unless you stack them up.

The shelves are not designed for book. They do not have the depth. CD's just fit. They are strong enough for what they were designed for.

They really are not designed to be placed in a bookshelf, in my mind I would use the L810 for a bookshelf placement and I think you would be much more happy with the end result (including the price difference).

I am at a beach house until next weekend and can give a better answer then but I have used them on standard shelving board which is not more than 1" thick, more probably 3/4". They are a snug fit on that. Ikea also has them and they specify 3/4". http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00220342/ I would guess 3/4" is a standard. Another option would be standard library bookends. Drill a hole and fix in place with a single screw. Wood partitions would be nice with 2 screws inserted from below but would be more trouble to keep moving around and would decrease storage space by their thickness..

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.

It should. To be sure that you don't have any shifting I would use flat metal mending braces on the underside of the shelves to keep the 2 pieces together.

I'm not home so I can't check, but it isn't any wider than the top (even though the picture makes them look like they're wider). They are about even with the edges of the top so it can snap into an additional shelf (if you use them for stacking)

I no longer have these, but as I recall, there is one way to stack them for nesting and another for shelves. I recall that the shelving arrangement snapped in place. I also used them in a small camper closet and they worked perfectly.

If you can lay them flat then I think the bottom two shelves will work, but the top two shelves are too flimsey.

I am not sure if they would hold books. I have one that is very snug on the shelf and the other isn't as snug and tends to wiggle too much. They are on the exact same shelf. I think the thickness is roughly 2". If you got 2 that fit a shelf snug, holding up books might be okay.

They are a bit tall, so depending on your closet space it should work. I use it for books so it's definitely sturdy enough for linens. It will also fit length-wise.

The unit is actually two separate pieces. If you're installing them directly to a wall or door (instead of hanging them with the over-the-door hooks), you can add distance between the two pieces to allow for taller books. Each shelf is only 5" deep. If you're wanting to store books in the same manner as a traditional bookshelf (with the spine facing out), it would fit only small books (like toddler cardboard-page books). Otherwise, you would have to place books with the cover facing out, and the books might fall right out when the door swings open and shut. I wouldn't recommend using it for a bookshelf.

If you lay them down, they would fit. Hard to guess exactly how many but would think around 25 or so. The bottom shelf isn't as deep so none would fit there.

yes, they will and it's hard to pull apart- I put one up and one down to fill shelf then extras on the tops of the ones that are upside down- otherwise the rim will break off trying to get them loose-if stacked inside each other- I had to adjust my shelves to fit the whole set-but it's worth it-we use the smaller more than the large so I put a a few large in another cabinet.
