Bookcases

The problem with having a lot of books is you can't really go and buy eight bookcases if they cost a thousand bucks a piece. I mean, you can if you have tons of money, but...

Anyway, here are some bookcases we've looked at.

The Copenhagen from Room and Board. Super pricey, but lovely. $1099.
The Moda Loft bookcase from Room and Board. It's actually from their kids' collection. Still pricey, though. $799.
If we just wanted to fit as many books as possible, this could be a good option. The 9' Wide Classic Office Shelf from Smart Furniture. I won a gift card from them a long time ago, and I liked their stuff. Might be hard to match wood tones if we buy a desk or other stuff from somewhere else... Anyway, this configuration (they're highly customizable) is $795 with free shipping.
A little more browsing of the Smart Furniture site brought up this beauty. Very expensive, but big enough to fit a lot of books? Maybe not enough... The Lax Series bookshelf. $1980.
The Nornas pine bookcase is from Ikea, so we could afford a ton of them. Also has matching bench and sideboard, which could be useful. Also is real wood (stainable) and fits baskets like the Expedit. $159.
I really like this shelf from Target. The Klyne: $240.
A cool low option from Target. The Mudhut Asmara: $160.
Ooh, mid-century style: $180 from Target.
One more basic one from Target. Comes in multiple finishes. Carson bookcase, $114.
The Oxford bookcase from Home Decorators Collection. Multiple sizes and finishes, this is the largest.  $269.

  1. I like the Klyne as well. Also consider getting rid of most of your books?
