Why it's best:
The best affordable heavy-duty shelving unit is the Basyx Heavy-Duty Signature Series Bookcase, available in several configurations, from 3-shelf to 7-shelf, and in three colors (cherry, oak, and mahogany). While they're made from composite materials, their finish -- especially in the darker colors -- looks fairly indistinguishable from solid wood, and is scratch resistant. The adjustable shelves are 1-1/8-inch thick, far stronger than most of the competition. They come with a thick, fully-laminated back panel and a 5-year warranty, and are a snap to assemble.<br /><br />These handsome, rugged bookcases cost far less and hold up far better than most others on the market. If you want extra-sturdy, nice-looking, affordable storage, they're definitely the way to go.
