Tower Bookcases
For the small spaces where you want to put your bookcase for displaying either your books or just some decorative items, a tower bookcase will make the most of the available space.
Tower bookcases come in a wide range of sizes and styles, with the common theme being that they are generally taller than wide, most of the time they are 5 feet tall or more.
Manufacturers of tower bookshelves include some familiar brands like Craftsman, Stanley, Rush, Legare and Amanda. You can find shelves with simple open shelving, or some with doors, including those doors with windows that give a more formal touch.
Come in standard colors like white and black, and you can find some in a metal finish as well. Wood types include a fine cherry, oak, walnut, and pine. You will even find some unfinished so you can choose your own stain.
You can find a lot of uses for these types of shelves, including fire side book cases and childrens bookcases.
If you are interested in building your own, there are bookcase plans that show how to do that, some of which can be downloaded immediately.
