Our best choice for the best bookcases is the versatile and stylish ClosetMaid Cubeicals Organizer. It comes with a choice of 7 colors to appeal to all home decors, while the multiple styles and sizes on offer mean that there’s something for all living spaces.

Perfect for books, as you’d expect, the secure back panels allow each novel, self-help book, and graphic novel to fit evenly against the back to keep everything looking smart and easy to pick out whenever the mood strikes. This helps to eliminate clutter and guarantee that your home is, finally after all these years, tidy, neat, and organized.

If you’re hunting for bookcases with excellent value, there is none better than the Sauder 5 Shelf Bookcase. This option comes with 6 colors to choose from, including Cherry, Chestnut, and Salt Oak, giving your home a mature, sophisticated feel that will make you feel just as intelligent as the many, many renowned authors on the shelves.

As for functionality, it comes with 5 shelves, and 3 of these are adjustable to change up as you see fit or need to. This versatility is excellent for those who want to fill their bookcase with more than just books, so if you’ve got house plants, tall cast models, or even framed pictures, you can find the perfect setup to suit your needs.

A simple but effective bookshelf for the modern home or apartment, the Furinno Reversible Color Open Shelf Bookcase is no-nonsense and does exactly what you need it to do. There are 4 colors and 4 styles and sizes to select so you’ll find the ideal option for you, making it an excellent option for the home or office, or even both.

The engineer particleboard construction ensures durability, and it’s also stable on flat surfaces to prevent wobbling or even toppling over, which is always something you’d hope from a bookcase, regardless of how much you spend on it. The odor-free wood also prevents strange aromas in the home.

Another simple but suitable option is the South Shore 5-Shelf Storage Bookcase. This overall flat design makes it suitable as a corner bookshelf, but it can also stand alone in the center of the room if you’ve got the space. Furthermore, with 4 colors to choose from, it can become an attractive centerpiece that draws the eyes to your favorite books, whether you’ve read them or not.

The laminated particle board is reliable and sturdy, and it is also lightweight enough that it’s easy to move around if you switch up the room layout after a while. We’d recommend removing the books before trying this, though. You will also find versatile storage options, and with one fixed shelf and three adjustable shelves, you’re able to switch it up as you need.

Convenience is the name of the game with the Convenience Concepts Oxford 5 Tier Bookcase. Another great option for a corner bookcase, this is one of the more unique options that we’ve picked out because it comes with a drawer to store smaller items and keep that clutter to a minimum.

As a bookcase with drawers, or drawer, really, you’re given a brand new dimension of organization. It’s great for portable wireless chargers, cables, notebooks, and stationery, as well as anything else that you’ve not yet found a place for in the home. Besides this, the 5 spacious tiers offer plenty of space for books, ornaments, and more, so you may be able to organize your whole home on one single bookcase.

With a variety of colors and styles, it’s no surprise that the Nathan James Theo 5-Shelf Wood Ladder Bookcase is our Premium Choice for the best bookcase available. Unlike other options, it comes with a blend of materials, combining both metal and wood to provide excellent durability and dependability that you don’t always get from purely wooden models.

These materials work together to provide an excellent experience for storing your books as well as anything else that you can fit on the shelves. Keep in mind, however, that some styles are not as wide as your standard bookcase. Even so, with 5 tiers, there should be sufficient room for your mo0st treasured stories, and the style is versatile enough that it will fit alongside existing bookcases without looking out of place.

Another option that brings a fantastic combination of materials to create a sturdy and satisfactory style, the Vasagle Industrial Ladder Shelf 4-Tier Bookshelf is ideal for modern apartments and homes and offers plenty of storage options for almost everything you can think of, or at least, everything that will fit on a bookshelf.

It is available in 2 colors, Rustic Brown and Rustic Dark Brown, and, while these are not as exciting or varied as other options, it’s still a classic color that will suit any home hoping for that rural and traditional feel. However, keep in mind that the color does not exactly match the real-life color.

Compact and ideal for low ceilings, or those who just don’t have a lot of books, the Sauder 3 Shelf Bookcase comes in 7 colors excellent for matching, or indeed contrasting, with the existing home decor in whatever room you need to put it in.

There are 2 adjustable shelves that provide versatile storage options, and the engineered wood construction is both durable and lightweight, ensuring easy mobility should you need to, while also guaranteeing many years of standing proud in your office for guests to peruse your favorite books.

The OneSpace Essentials Bookshelf comes in a variety of colors that will suit any home office, bedroom, or living or dining room, and comes with a versatile setup to appeal to everybody, whether you’ve got 1 book, 5 books, or more books than you can count.

Constructed using sturdy particleboard, it’s easy to put together, especially considering the weight, and it’s also easy to shift from one side of the room to the other should you feel that the first placement isn’t quite right. Each shelf boasts a 44 pound weight capacity, and these come complete with heavy-duty peg support to ensure further confidence that your books and ornaments will stay secure and in place.

If you’re wondering why we’ve not included a bookcase with doors, you’re about to be pleasantly surprised. The Sauder Cottage Road Library has just what you need for a combination of showing off your favorite books as well as hiding your guilty pleasures, and it comes with 3 adjustable shelves and a storage cupboard to give you the best of both worlds.

Inside the cupboard, you can store games, notebooks, or anything that doesn’t fit on the shelf right now. Furthermore, the doors are secure and easy to open, fitting perfectly within the frame to keep it looking wonderfully mysterious and also reduce the clutter exposure.

Our final pick for the best bookcases is the Nathan James Telos 4-Cube Organizer. This offers a slight leaning bookcase style that gives you something a little different compared to other options, and while it’s a small bookcase, there is also plenty of potential to unlock within.

The 9 styles and color options ensure an array of choices to suit your home decor, and the multiple storage cubbies mean it’s more than just a bookcase, and instead something that will become a home for memories for the whole family.
