I am looking for something that looks like this, but would go in my dining room and hold cookbooks. Would this work for that purpose?

You could use this to hold books, however it is not considered a "book case". You can place books on the shelf and lower section behind the twin glass doors as well as on the middle and top shelves. Please note, you will need book ends if you wish to place books on the middle and top shelves as there aren't any end supports for them. The cabinet is designed for media type devices, but with some creativity will do a decent job holding just about any type of item.

I think it would work! We are using ours in a bedroom for a TV, but could be used anywhere! The shelve is adjustable for different size books and it is very sturdy!

behind the doors the height is about 20 inches, so putting the shelf in the middle would probably give you enough space to put books. the hole for the cord isn't that big and there is a circle piece that you can put in there that would make it less open. I couldn't figure out how to put it in but it didn't matter for what I was using it for. It is sturdy and heavier than I thought it would be.

We used it for a drom room with lots of books. It has a pretty good strength, especially for lower shelves. More weight up top does tend to shift it back and forth a little. However, the shelves are fitted onto the frame which helps a lot. It should work well for cookbooks positioned up agains a wall.

I use mine to store hats, so I am not a really good judge, but I would think a more traditional bookcase would work better. Some of the shelves are not wide enough for a textbook.

I think it would work fine, I am using mine in a spare room I made into a sewing and craft room and it holds baskets full of items on every shelf including the top of the book case.

No it wont look good hence the word "book shelf" buy a "tv stand" usually you can find ones that say how much weight they can with stand.

I think this would be perfect for it. We used it in our dining room and I was impressed with how easy it is to work with.

I think it just might work well for kitchen items. The shelves appear quite sturdy. Also good for small box items.

I think it would be a great pantry I like your idea and if my kitchen wasn't so small I would use one for a pantry too. I use mine in my sewing room. It looks very nice and yes it is sturdy. Congrats on your new house.

I don't think so. I have a heavy casserole dish on the bottom shelf and smaller dishes and nik-naks on shelves above. I use it for display only. It is very pretty in my living room corner.

You could display a dinner plate or a larger platter. I just tried it out to make sure.

I have heavy books on mine and it's sturdy enough to hold them. I think that if it fits in your pantry, it would work.

I think this would work well. I'm very happy with these tiered shelves. They are sturdy and compact and don't take up too much space. I use them for spices, but essential oils would work. Each shelf holds 5 regular sized spice bottles, just to give you an idea size wise.

Mine is loaded with cookbooks and research books. Oh, and there's hardware to attach it to the wall, so it's very sturdy.

We use it as a replacement for a coffee table. You might want a skinnier one. I would take a look at the measurements for what you want.

I don't know how much room you actually have in your kitchen, Look at the dimensions given for the table and maybe use a tape measure to compare it for your kitchen. That said, these tables are made of heavy wood so pretty study. You might want to put something on the table to offset the heat from the cooker.

Aloha again!! Thought I would have a hard time finding it! But I found it and I think that this bookshelf would be better, because no matter how u put it, straight up or horizontally, u can put things on the shelf. Here the www. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003TPG9NU/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SL500_SY115&simLd;=1#If this do not work Let me know. Will send the info in another way!! Good luck and hope this help!!

It is holding my TV. So it probably is strong enough for a lot of books. But the shelves don't go flush against the wall (at least, mine don't), so the only problem would be the books standing up. You could lay them flat and pile them.It will probably hold a fish bowl, too, but I'd suggest putting it on the lower shelves.
