Can you use it as a bookcase?? Will it fit my books?

The back walls have three hole pattern, to adjust the shelf. You probably could only do a row of short paperbacks and a row of hardbacks (top to bottom),.23in. tall 18 in. across front 11 in. deep !

We cancelled our order because it kept being delayed on delivery where we would not have received it until 4 months after ordering. I'm sure it can, but there's no way to tell without seeing if someone knows the shelf sturdiness.

Hey don't waste your money on this I have it and It stinks You have to put it altogether It smells like toxic for months and no books really don't fit and u wouldn't want to bc u would be afraid it breaks

You could, but it would be awkward, since the shelving space is triangular.

I wouldn't recommend this to be use as a bookcase, it's very small and narrow inside, also it has a terrible smell. I had it for almost 6 months and the smell never goes away, I just donate it to goodwill.

It might fit some small books...the internal triangle shelf is about 14 (side) x 14 (side) x 20 (front) inches and each shelf is about 1ft height.

It is very small. I can get a few DVDs in at an angle. But not likely very many books. It is best suited for small curios.

The shelves are triangular so you could not probably use for very many books.

It's got triangular shelves. Not very good for books. Also, ours smelled of gasoline. Had to leave it outside for a month.

You will have to get bookends - the sides are open. It's a really nice bookcase with a nice height between shelves. I really like mine.

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.

Not at all I bought three of these for my LP, CD and DVD collections as well as all my books. Great bookcases for the price and look pretty nice too in my mna cave!!

I would say yes, it probably is sturdy enough for books, but not ideal. It has no back on it & the top shelf is quite narrow, but it is pretty sturdy. I am only using it for towels & decorative items in my bathroom. It's perfect for that.

The shelves are rather wide. if you use it for books, you will need bookends and maybe something on the shelf, like a piece of plastic becasue they could fall through. The unit is extremely sturdy and can hold a ton of books.

It would fit one shirt nicely, possibly 2 really crammed; I put one 'oversized' book in mine, one that won't fit in a 9 x 12...it could hold 2 'normal' sized books, 5x7 or a little bigger, but not much

In my opinion this would not be good for book storage. They are very deep and the front tilts up to keep items in. Great for loose toys though!

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 was not impressed with these shelves. you can go to containter store and buy them. they fit over about and inch plus shelf. there is a lttle wiggle room but if you force it it will break (as mine did) where its sautered together. it should hold books but how well will depend on how the rack fits over the shelf. hope this helps.

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.

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.

Depend on your book case ,but I think will be ok . The one I have I gave it for present to set on the counter

I can't speak to using it for books. I bought it for DVDs only and it has been great for that purpose. Because of the small depth of the shelves, I would be reluctant to put certain types of hardback in it, especially large ones because the space simply isn't there. It is an attractive piece of furniture. Am glad I bought it to hold DVDs.

Yes. It would be sturdy enough to use as a bookshelf. The space between the shelves is just about 12". Hope that helps.

I imagine that one could use it for paperback books within certain size limitations. It is possible to vary the distance between the shelves to accommodate height differences--e.g., VHS tape, cassette, or CD/DVD heights--the shelves are 5 inches deep. I just used a couple of my "regular" size paperbacks to test this out (the kind found on the typical bookstore or news stand) and they are typically 5 inches deep and fit OK. However, don't expect to get premium size books in here such as computer books or Dover large scores.

Yes. Great bookcase! Came fully assembled. I love it! Worth every penny and then some.
