Buying Guide

It is quite easy to find low bookshelves with doors for sale, but determining which one to purchase can be hard, considering the several aspects that need to be accounted for. Learn how to get the best one for your home below.

The most convenient way of ensuring your low bookcase with doors has shelves that can accommodate your books and the decorative elements you plan on adding to it is by getting the unit with adjustable shelving.

If you pick a bookcase with fixed shelves, then you need to do some measuring so each shelf meets your requirements. You can start by taking the measurements of the biggest book you’ll display.

A library that consists of hardcover octavos has different needs compared to stacks of paperbacks. Make sure you factor in the headroom above book spines.

Low bookcases with doors are versatile pieces of furniture, so you should determine the primary purpose of the unit to get the one that addresses all of your needs. Will you display your collectibles and mementos inside? If so, then a unit with glass panel doors is right for your situation.

If you’ll be using the low bookcase with doors in hiding clutter, then choose one with solid doors. An enclosed bookcase will ensure you can easily hide away things your guests aren’t supposed to see. Not to mention, prevent you from always having to dust off the shelves and your books.

A low bookcase should not take the spotlight in a room. Instead, it should enhance the appeal or beauty of items that are displayed. That being said, your best bet would be a case with clean, simple lines. It's also important for your bookcase to coexist with the furniture pieces already present in the room. So, opt for the style that shows off or hide your treasures and match your room’s style at the same time.

Of course, you can still use a low bookcase with doors as a room’s focal point or center of attention. If you have a room with a monotonous color scheme, there’s definitely an opportunity for you to bring a pop of color to the space through the addition of a bookcase in a complementary color or design. So, consider getting a bookcase that will give your space a unique style or an accent furniture piece.

Books are heavy, so your bookcase must be made of a material that’s solid like hardwood and metal. Both materials will prevent the shelves of the bookcase from giving away due to the heavy weight.

It's also worthwhile to make sure of the stability of a bookcase, most especially if there are kids around. Children climb up cabinets as they see them as urban trees! Thus, taking safety measures like the addition of secure hooks will make your bookcase safe. Don't forego this aspect if you have kids to ensure their safety and to protect your investment as well.

Keep our tips in mind and you’ll certainly find a bookcase that will sit in your living spaces for years!
