What can I use instead of a bookshelf?
1 Answer

Instead of a bookshelf, you can use wall shelves, a cart, a mantel, a desk, a hutch or a TV stand. There are no rules regarding what you can transform into a book storage area, so feel free to get creative. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique, vintage and modern furniture.
