Bookshelves have become an unexpected topic of popular discussion over the last few months, and this has a lot to do with the work-from-home (WFH) revolution forced upon us by the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. Video conferencing apps such as Zoom and Skype turned into indispensable tools of the trade for employees attending virtual meetings, and we could not help but focus on the backdrops of the video calls, particularly if they included bookshelves or bookcases. Rating the backgrounds of conference calls became an internet pastime; Twitter accounts were created for this purpose, and they proved to be very popular among people who were previously unaware of the sheer design variety available in this particular office furniture piece.
Office Bookshelves Make Your Workplace Come Alive
A strategically placed bookcase or shelving cabinet can tie your office space together. Many office managers agree that bookshelves attract more attention than desks and chairs. Whether you wish to store books, manuals, picture frames, trophies, or decorations, they will always look better on the shelves of a stylish bookcase. Here are three of the most popular office bookshelves in our catalog:

▶ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size of a commercial bookcase?
Commercial bookcases most commonly come in widths of 30, 36, or 48 inches, with heights ranging from 29 inches (bookshelf height) to 84 inches (full wall height). Depth is typically 12–13 inches for standard book storage, with 15–16 inch depths available for oversized items. Choose height based on available wall clearance and access needs.
How many books can a standard bookcase hold?
A 36-inch wide, 72-inch tall bookcase with 5–6 shelves holds approximately 100–125 standard paperback-size books per shelf, or fewer large format books. Actual capacity depends on book dimensions and the weight distribution across shelves. Commercial bookcase shelves are typically rated for 50–75 lbs per shelf.
Are commercial bookcases adjustable?
Yes. Commercial bookcases feature adjustable shelves that can be repositioned in standard 1-inch or 1.25-inch increments using a pin-hole system on the side panels. This allows the bookcase to accommodate books, binders, equipment boxes, and other items of varying heights without wasting space.
Should I anchor a bookcase to the wall?
Yes, for any bookcase taller than 48 inches. Full-height bookcases (72–84 inches) have a significant center of gravity when loaded and can tip if bumped or climbed. Most commercial bookcases include a tip-restraint kit or anti-tip strap. Wall anchoring is a safety requirement in many commercial buildings and is always recommended.
What finish options are available for office bookcases?
Commercial bookcases are available in wood laminate finishes — including cherry, mahogany, espresso, walnut, maple, and grey — as well as painted steel in black, putty, and sand. Laminate bookcases coordinate with wood office furniture collections; steel bookcases work well in open office and industrial environments.
