Would this shelf work for a standard size cookbook (like Betty Crocker Hardcover). Or is it only for "reading" books

If your cookbook is as big as mine, it should fit fine. I have two standard size Essential Cookbooks on mine the hang off a little bit but they are not inches off of the shelf, just barely off.

Fortunately, this shelf does not discriminate and willingly displays all varietals of books. Unfortunately, I think it was designed to support Julia Child and gluten-free cookbooks only :(

This large book shelf holds 20lb max. load and is 10 inches deep. I have hardcover heavy cookbooks and a couple of paperbacks on mine and it works just fine. Make sure you install it properly so it remains sturdy.

The book loving friend I gave this shelf to keeps the maximum load on it--4 good sized art books. It has shown a tiny bit of strain but is still in place.The answer is yes, it should handle a cook book easily. It's a very cool thing.

Absolutely! I have two in my kitchen specifically for cookbooks, Betty Crocker happens to be one of them, along with several other hard cover and soft cover of various sizes. I highly recommend.

I don't think this is designed to hold things like sheet pans. The sides are wide open and the pans would justfall to one side. The shelf is perfect for the things shown in the illustration.

it can hold a medium size cookbook, if it isn't too heavy or too bulky. of course, it cannot hold open the pages, so you need something to hold the page. i would consider it twice before putting any book on it. standing up, a very thin book can be inserted into the slot. for books i rather use a special stand.

I believe it would be fine for dishes. I purchased it for books and find it very suitable. Bear in mind, it is not an especially large cabinet so the dishes cannot be too big. It will serve you well and it looks lovely, too.

The shelf will accommodate a 10" book quite easily as that is the flat surface of the shelf. You might be able to put the 12" book on the shelf, but it would not rest flat on the surface and overhang/front of the cabinet might interfere.

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

The shelves adjust to different heights. I use two rows for cds. The rest are dvds but if you have books the same size as a DVD I don't see why not.

Shelves are 6x12 and are adjustable. Fits small cookbooks,or small decorative pieces

I gave the shelf to my sister but it would not be good for microwave or anything that heavy. It is best suited for plants or towels. It looks cute but is not that sturdy and not very big. I don't have the measurements but I know it would not be suited for heavy objects even if they did fit.

Hi Kathleen, I don't think it would hold cookbooks, unless they were the size of a paperback. The inside organizer does come out, and if you did that, you'd be able to fit some in there, but I don't think this is ideal for that use. Sorry! It is a beautiful piece. I use it to hold mail, coupons, office supplies, and things like that. The bottom drawer would definitely fit some cookbooks though! Hope this helps.Brandy

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

I think they should work well for that purpose. I used mine for my closet and liked that they fastened well on my shelves and are sturdy enough to support handbags and divide my stacked sweaters in my closet. They will also be sturdy enough to support your cookbooks. Just make sure you buy the appropriate size for your shelves. I bought a second set and didn't realize I was buying the larger size and had to use in a bigger space then intended because they were too tall for the intended space.

It's designed to hold DVD's/Blue rays. So as long as your books are about that size that would work.

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 !

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.

It is a MEDIA cabinet, so it's not meant for books. You could probably put lighter text books on it, but big ones will probably break it or cause warping.
