How far down do the slits for holding the book go? Do they go all the way through the wood and if so, could something fall through it?

Yes the slits go all the way through. If something is thin enough it could fall through. I have the 6 inch Kindle hd tablet and before I got my new holder for it I was resting it in the slits and it was too thick to fall through. It is pretty thin but if you had a really thin book it might go through.

The slits do go all the way through the wood. Unless you have a REALLY skinny book, it would not fall through.

The metal bar does not go all the way through. There are slits in the wood in front of where the book rests. They are so thin that I do not see how any book or tablet could pass through. They are about as wide as a ink pen. Its a very well designed book holder. I gave it as a gift and it was well received

The slits under the book holder do go all the way through. However, the 3 openings are only about 1/4 inch wide and about 8" long. Conceivably, something could fall through if it was very thin. My I-pad works just great.

It would work with a book that's not too tall or thick. Thge ledge that holds the book in place is rather small and only about 1/4 inch high. A magazine would work well, though.

Don't really understand the question but I love my shelves....wood fits right in...shelves go around and above bay window and hold a ton of books with no problem. I did have to paint because walls and trim were a different shade of white

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!

Just to be sure you understood me or I understood you. The shelves in the doors have a lip that's like a thin bar to prevent things from falling out. This bar is attached to the bottom of the shelve and sits up about 1/2inch to an inch .

I don't think it would be a good idea to put screws through the wood. Also, might be too much weight for the wall with books on it.

The bookcase is not supposed to hang. It is designed to lean against a wall but needs to be secured to the wall do that it doesn't fall when a child tires to climb on it.

Yes, It has little pop up lip at the bottom that would hold a book secure. About a half an inch in depth

I'm not sure a book or magazine will stay open. There is a small notch that keeps the iPad in place so that it doesn't slip off but I don't think it's built to hold a magazine or book open.

It is open in the back but my son never mentioned that his books ever fell out. Having it open, gives you the option of turning the organizer around to put the pockets on the side in the center of the locker (or not.) I think the books and folders only stuck out an inch out the back. Most school lockers aren't very deep. Hopes this helps. :)

When you latch the lid on it is pretty snug. I use them to store collectible books and I feel confident that they will keep everything out. Hope this helps.

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

No, this all one piece with no slits. I use mine for vendor shows .I have not had any problems getting my product in & out from under the table.

The drawers will hold folders of papers laying flat with about an inch or 2 all the way around to spare. It's only about 6" deep. Folders and papers should be no problem. Heavy, hard back books may be too heavy. It's very light weight construction and it wobbles.

Yes, this book will definitely open if dropped on the floor, but that doesn't guarantee that the contents will spill out since the hidden pocket has a cover that you have to actually pull out. To me this item is best suited for hiding either paper items or items that are not that heavy. The compartment isn't deep, it is a shallow, thin compartment.

Although it looks quite unsturdy after you see for yourself how it all went together, even with the shelves full of stuff, it hasn't yet actually looked like it would ever fall over, although the heavy stuff is on the bottom. BUT if there are ANY small children or disabled or elderly people in the house, I would NOT recommend this bookcase. The top half WILL easily separate and fall on anyone who pulls on it a little too much. And it could separate and fall over if someone bumps into it too hard or falls against it.OR, as the previous answer states, you really should fasten the top half to the wall or something next to it. Whatever would hold it up best.

I never set it up to hold a book, so I don't remember if it did or not. I could never figure out how to turn a page with wet hands so didn't bother. My guess is that it didn't have a way to keep the book open.
