A bookshelf or bookcase is either floor standing or fixed to the wall, and the right one depends on how many books you own and how much floor you can spare. The shelves on this page include a tall metal bookcase with drawers, a compact tree bookshelf, a mobile five-tier cart, a low kids bookshelf, and wall shelves in sets of 2, 3 and 6 plus a corner unit.
How to choose a bookshelf
Check the stated size and the weight each shelf carries before the colour. The tall metal bookcase is 90x30x180cm with six open shelves and two drawers, while the CARLA HOME tree bookshelf lists 17 x 60 x 27 cm and five to ten books per shelf, so it is a small unit rather than a full-height bookcase. Wall shelves use the wall instead of the floor, and their stated loads run from 2.5kg per shelf on the acrylic set to 15kg on the pine set of 2. Some listings carry a furniture tip-over warning, and the tree bookshelf lists an anti-tip wall anchor. Follow the anchoring advice on the product page.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a bookshelf and a bookcase?
Both words are used for shelving that holds books, and the titles here use both. Floor standing units on this page include the metal bookcase with drawers, the CARLA HOME tree bookshelf, the Keezi kids bookshelf and the mobile cart.
How much weight can floating wall shelves hold?
It depends on the set. The Artiss set of 3 lists up to 10kg per shelf if mounted to a solid wall, the pine set of 2 lists a 15kg capacity, the corner unit lists 5kg per shelf and the acrylic 6-pack lists 2.5kg per shelf. Wall type matters as much as the shelf, so check your wall before choosing.
Which bookshelf suits a small room?
Wall shelves take no floor space. The CARLA HOME tree bookshelf is also compact at 17 x 60 x 27 cm, and the mobile cart lists 125 cm x 35 cm x 26 cm with wheels.
Is there a bookshelf with drawers?
Yes. The metal bookcase lists six staggered open shelves and two drawers, in dark walnut and black.
Is there a kids bookshelf?
One option is the Keezi kids bookshelf, which has four tiers in white E1 MDF, with rounded corners and countersunk screw holes. Its listing describes a kids-friendly height at 66cm x 28.5cm x 63.5cm.
