Wide Bookshelf
Overview
A wide bookshelf is a broad open storage unit that spreads books, bins, and decor across more horizontal space. It works as a substantial storage and display wall in a living room.
Sizing & placement
At 48 inches wide and 72 inches tall with a deeper 14-inch shelf depth, it holds larger items and more volume than a standard shelf, and being wall-anchored it should be secured to the wall at that height. Leave browsing room across its full width.
Where it works
Best in living rooms, family rooms, and offices; modern, transitional, and traditional styles.
