Wood Bookcases & Bookshelves

Offices with heavy books and binders need strong bookcases for storage. That's one reason so many places use metal bookcases to organize important information. If you need a strong system to organize your books, you can find a variety of options at Staples.

Shelf Heights for Libraries of All Sizes
Adjustable shelves allow offices to customize storage spaces based on book sizes. These shelves pop out of the main structure, so readers can create larger slots for over-sized books or smaller shelves for horizontal book storage. Many metal bookshelves have removable parts for this specific reason. Other bookcases have welded bodies that maintain the heights of their shelves under heavy weights. This prevents sagging and ensures that books remain in position, even when the unit is full. Brands like HON offer both styles of shelving, including some organizers with welded and removable levels on the same bookcase. Combination pieces have at least one welded shelf that stays in place while other shelves change heights.

Metal Bookcases Hold Heavy Weights
These units have metal frames that hold books without sagging, and they safely store other items as well. Many of these metal-framed bookcases have flat surfaces on top so that office workers can display awards and knick-knacks near their cubes. Metal shelves also resist spills. These durable office units don't warp, so they can withstand coffee drips and water rings without damage. Many offices use metal organizers and bookshelves to build more efficient cubicles. These setups allow workers to store important binders and folders close by, so they always have the information they need at their desks. Shelves also help with organization. These bookcases can display multiple weeks, months or years of printed data in one place.

Foldable Shelves for Transport and Storage
Those who work at conferences and other temporary work spaces understand the importance of folding bookshelves. These metal units offer the same strength as non-folding units, and they're designed for transport. Once the worker has unloaded books and other materials, these shelves fold inward to reduce space during storage. This allows them to stack in moving vans as well. Foldable shelves also set up quickly. When it's time to start the next conference, these units slide into their recognizable shapes and lock into position for strength.

Tall and Short Bookcases for Every Room
These bookcases come in several sizes so that they can suit any room. Tall bookshelves sometimes stand more than 80 inches high, and they make the most of their floor space. Because of their height, these units are central pieces for any storage room. Tall shelves come in narrow and wide widths, so they fit across walls or beside other furniture. Short bookshelves usually stand closer to 30 or 40 inches high. These compact shelves stand beside desks and create extra surface area for work and personal displays. There are also options that fit beneath windows. These units can be paired with taller units to maximize storage space without blocking views. Some of these shorter bookcases have especially strong shelves which hold more than 85 pounds of weight. Find the metal bookcases you need to organize your workspace at Staples.
