Shelves - Bookcases & Bookshelves - The Home Depot

Question 1

Which bookcase orientation is better for storage in smaller spaces?

Accepted Answer

We carry both horizontal and vertical options, although vertical bookcases offer the best solution to make the most of your existing square footage. This is because they rise tall and slim to save floor space. They're also great for showcasing decorative items or a large book collection.

Question 2

I love the look of real wood, but I'm on a budget. What's a good alternative that still looks great?

Accepted Answer

Engineered wood options like MDF or particle board offer a fantastic blend of affordability and style! Many of our bookcases feature realistic wood grain finishes on these materials, giving you the look you want without the higher price point.

Question 3

Which colors are available for bookcases & bookshelves?

Accepted Answer

There are many colors to choose from, including white, red, and gold.

Question 4

How do I know what size and material bookshelf to choose?

Accepted Answer

Start by measuring your space and thinking about how much weight the shelves will need to hold. Solid wood and metal bookshelves are great for heavier loads like textbooks or large collections. Engineered wood options are more budget-friendly and still stylish, making them a good choice for lighter items.
