PrintedArt Fine Art Photography Collection I love the first one - very slick look! Plus, it's a very good use for all those frames once you take them off your pictures and hang them framelessly ;-)

jonauty My Favorite: BrickBox!

enord Lovely design look - certainly not for a serious book lover. None of these shelves would hold any substantial amount of books. Except for the metal ones they are also not sturdy enough for actual books. As a design statement with a couple of books they are certainly nice. But don't call them bookcases...

Actual-Size Architecture Make sure they hold all the books you'll want, but let them integrate with the space too! Here's a custom set I designed for my clients' 20'-long living room...

Rachel Newcombe @enord Whilst some of the options only hold a small-ish selection of books, there are others that hold substantial amounts, like the sliding door bookcase or large modular bookcase. All of them are well built, well designed and fully capable of being used to store books.
