Wooden bookcases are great, but they are pretty much all the same. Many are made with different woods, and some with different inlays or moldings, but in the end, they are just shelves. How about instead you do something different, like a wooden cube bookcase. Now you can show your library in a more modern and clever shelving medium. See collection for details.
Our Picks
Versatile wooden cube bookcase
Foundstone™
Available in a dark oak, oak or white finish, this monochrome bookcase has the potential of working with… pretty much any decor style! Its eight cubes offer plenty of storage. You could even utilize the top surface for some plants or decorative pieces.
Designer Advice:
Rather than filling it up straight away, take some time to plan the look of your bookcase. A popular option consists of a curated but alternating style. For instance, have some books in the top left cube and a selection of items on its right. The cube underneath the books should also have a breezier selection of small pieces. Then, more books on its right. You get the gist!
Compact wooden cube shelves
Ebern Designs
Only 12” wide, this wooden cube bookcase is a real lifesaver in small rooms and corners. It consists of three cubes and a versatile top surface. As for colors, choose among six finishes ranging from neutrals to accent hues like pink.
Wooden cube bookcase with drawers
ClosetMaid
This bookcase relies on a 47.56” x 35.91” design in three finishes. However, you can choose to place it either horizontally or vertically. Out of its twelve cubes, you can also turn up to six of them into closed storage sections with drawers.
Designer Advice:
Traditional wooden cube bookcases are a fantastic opportunity to showcase your most aesthetically pleasing items. Some drawers or baskets, on the other hand, can accentuate or even break their symmetry. Plus, they’re a handy option for messier collections and small or more utilitarian bits and bobs.
Square wood storage cubes
Whitmor
This 24.84” x 24.84” design is full of possibilities! You can rearrange its four sections (one cube and three rectangles in two different sizes) however you prefer. Either way, you’ll obtain a top surface at a practical height: particularly perfect next to your desk.

Tall cube storage unit
Artistica Home
Reaching a whopping 88” in height, this wood cube shelf will become the main accent piece in your living room. It’s divided into eight standard cubes, but its design breaks free from the most traditional lines. The light wood finish is also delightfully contemporary.
Designer Advice:
Don’t run the risk of creating an overwhelming feeling in your living room! If possible, place your tall cube storage unit next to progressively smaller pieces. This will help you create a sense of verticality that’ll translate into a more spacious-looking wall section.
Large cube bookcase
If you’re not a fan of the most predictable cube bookshelves, you’re going to love this asymmetrical design. Its fifteen hutches include both square and rectangular sections. This will make it a breeze to alternate books and decorative items tastefully.
