What is the size of a bookshelf?

You can make your bookshelf any size you'd like, but a standard size with even proportions is about 12 inches deep, 30 inches wide and 48 inches tall . That's big enough to hold books and magazines, but not so big that it won't fit where you want it to.

What is the spacing for shelves?

As a reference, standard shelf spacing is between 8 to 12 inches . If you want to house entertainment equipment in the same unit, you'll need shelves from 18 to 20 inches deep (for most systems). Customize bookshelf spacing to accommodate the height of your stereo, speakers, and accessories.

What is the length of the bookshelf in inches?

Standard shelf spacing on a typical bookshelf will range from 9 to 12 inches . Depending on the types of books stacked, the standard bookshelf depth should be between 10 and 12 inches while the width is from 31 to 32 inches. You can also find other bookshelf widths of between 24 and 48 inches.

What is a good depth for a bookcase?

Let your display items guide the dimensions of your shelves. “I would recommend at least 9" depth (quite shallow, but fine for novels) and up to 16" depth (I've not come across a coffee table book that doesn't fit a shelf that deep),” says Noz Nozawa at Noz Design.

What is the shelf standard for a bookcase?

Shelf depth for a general purpose bookshelf is usually 10 to 12 inches . Shelf spacing will generally range from 7 to 15 inches with 8 to 12 inches being common for bookshelves.

What size are built in bookcases?

Most functional built-in bookshelves average 72 to 80 inches tall . Measure the width of the wall where the bookcase will go. If your bookcase will be on a wall that includes windows or doors, subtract the width of those windows or doors — including any trim — from your measurement.

How wide can a bookshelf be without sagging?

The eye will notice a deflection of 1/32 inch per running foot so that a fully loaded (70-80 pounds) bookshelf that is 3 feet wide, should sag no more than 3/32 inches. For most shelves made from 3/4 inch stock, a practical span is 30 to 36 inches .
