Can this unit be used to display books?

This is the worse book shelf. It cannot fit much. My books are still in boxes because it cant fit.

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.

Its deep enough but first you hve to put it together. The fittings don't fit, the wood glueing the sawdust plywood is too flimsey and if you are successful in getting it together it will fall down froim the vibration of a passing truck

I use mine for books. They are quite sturdy. Youwould be aable to put hundreds of DVD on them I would think

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

You can use bookends or weighted decor...I love the shelf... It was the perfect size for my space ...

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.

This shelf is pretty sturdy, so I would say yes. I use it to store all my textbooks (which can get pretty heavy).

I would say it's not the best option. It seems it would be a bit small for a cable box. Also, there is a back plate that you usually cover with the books that are stacked, that would probably be visible with the cable box. I would recommend just getting a small floating shelf instead. They work well and look good too. Also inexpensive. Hope this helps

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

Yes there is a shelf for a book or a tablet. However a thivk book would not fit. I out my iPod on the shelf.

Yes you can. That's the best part about it. You can use either the top or the bottom one, or both together as in the main picture. It's better if you plan on opening multiple books at a time as it offers more space to place your books. It's great IMO. I wish I had had this while in grad school or even before that.

yes, if it is supported from below with shelf brackets, but do not place a heavy load on every shelf. I would not hang it on the wall and fill with books, but on the wall with the fabric bins would work. I have two , one stacked on top of the other, but mine rests on the floor. I am ordering some to hang on my office wall to put lightweight items on.

Yes. It's awesome. I love it. It's sturdy and neat looking. I have books on mine, but I could certainly see it used as a board game storage unit.

I believe you could use this for paperbacks providing the height isn't higher than a dvd/blu ray disc packaging. Not sure about the amount of weight the shelves can take.

You can adjust the height of the shelves and can store the books either vertical or horizontal. You can even not use the shelves at all or only use as many as you like.

Yes, it would probably be fine. I have some books and things, but not too heavy. My biggest problem with the unit is that it kind of sways from side to side. The doors didn't fit well, so I have some shims underneath one side to stablize. They are hidden, but without them, the doors are not aligned. Hope this helps!

you could but it is really too large for that purpose. It is meant for ereaders etc.

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.
