Wood bookcases come in different designs and styles
Several types of bookcases in wood or wood composites are available. Freestanding or standard units come in a variety of dimensions, from squat, two-shelf structures to tall, multi-shelf towers in closed or open-back designs. Many nontraditional, eclectic, or functional selections are available as well. For instance, cube varieties include alternating or offsetting cubbyhole-style shelves in unique freestanding models, while corner bookcases for office settings provide a triangular, space-saving design. Other types include slant-back leaning units that provide a visual alternative to standard rectangular cases.
Bookcases for office interiors include all types of wood
Wood and wood-laminated units, including those with steel or extruded aluminum frames, come in any natural wood finish. Popular ones include oak, walnut, maple, cherry, and mahogany. The composite wood materials also provide different hardwood veneers or surface material that accepts a variety of finishes, whether with stains, paints, or enamels. Several eclectic wood colors are available besides light brown, dark brown, and black bookcase finishes, including shades like espresso, chocolate, and ecru, as well as colors like red, blue, green, and gray.
Some bookcases come in wood composites
Not all bookcases consist of only softwood, hardwood, or wood laminates. Sturdy composite wood bookcases are also available, comprising of such material as fiberboard, recycled paperboard, melamine, and chipboard. These engineered composites often come with high-gauge steel or aluminum frames to give them added structural strength for holding heavy books and material.
Bookcases in non-office settings
Wood bookcases go in workplace settings other than offices. Health care practices use wood waiting room bookcases to give patients literature on the practice or something to read before their appointments. Day care centers use sectional and small mobile bookcases to provide cubbyholes for kids and to make it easy to rearrange playroom settings. Wooden cases also belong in classrooms, libraries, coffeehouses, hotel lobbies, and any other settings where literature is part of the workday.
