Is this good as a bookcase?

It definitely could be. But I recommend ordering extra shelves for that. It comes with 2. One for each "cabinet".

I wouldn't recommend it for a bookcase. Only has one divider and the dimensions are not conducive for books. We used it as extra pantry space for our rental. Also the quality is good for the price.

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

It isn't great quality, but for the price it is. I tried to move it to another spot in the room by pushing it across the floor while full...it ended up splitting at the seems. I keep it as a toy chest..

It's really too deep for books and the shelves are too tall. I use it as a pantry, & it's great for that. I could see using it as storage in a bedroom or living room.After reading the other responses, I'd just like to say I'm happy with the quality for the price. I was very careful to follow the instructions when assembling it, and I have had no problems.

I think it can be used as a book case, it has plenty of room to store many things.

it would hold books, although you would have to allow for the height of each book between the shelves .. it's sturdy enough ..

Yes, but it was very easy. This bookcase looks great in my office and I highly recommend it.

The bookcase listed does require assembly,but for the most part, it is well laid out in the Owners manual. The exception was the door hinge holes needed some rework but wasn't that difficult.

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

No, I would not use as bookshelf, it isn't sturdy enough. The space between the shelves is 10 inches.

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 use the product to keep Vinyl records in it, which can be quite heavy. I use it as a standalone case and would probably not use it as a wall mounted bookcase. The reason is that it is made out of fiberboard with a not very high quality laminated wood grain. I would be concerned that if you attempted to mount it on the wall, that the fiberboard would brealk under the weight of the books.

We use it as a bookshelf in my son's room and it's completely full of books and holds up just fine. Not sure what you'd be looking to put on it but if it's clothes, it would work.

Yes, it can. Instructions spell out well how to assemble with bookcase on either side.

It depends on the size of the books, but with a standard book size yes it is great for a book shelf. I use it for all of my dvds and school books and it works great. My son has some childrens books for example, the larger picture books that I can't put in there vertically so I lay them flat and stack them and they fit. But if you're looking to store standard book sizes it'll work! And it looks awesome too.

I wouldn't try it, myself. The weight question would be borderline at best, and I would think there would be too much danger of the top one sliding off because of the materials and the way they are made. (Plus I think it would look funny.) I own this model as well as the taller bookcase... Have you considered just buying one tall one instead of stacking? I think you would he happier with the result.

The space between the shelves is about 11 inches. I would think it could definitely be used as a small bookcase. It is actually serving as one of the legs of my custom built computer desk. The baskets are also very sturdy. I keep tons of office supplies in them. Hope this helps!

Probably, but I would suggest that the bookcase be used on a solid floor, rather than carpeting, for the best stability, when putting a tv on it.

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.

Yes. We have two in an "L" shape. We have a dresser under each. It will depend on the height of the bookcase.
