Best Bargain Heavy Duty Bookcase

Whether you're squirreling away books, stacks of magazines, art objects, or household goods, you need solid, good-looking storage. Metal shelves are too industrial-looking for most homes and offices. You could have a carpenter build custom shelves, but this is expensive. And most generic bookcases sold in big-box furniture stores are flimsy and ugly -- the shelves gap at the sides and start to sag soon after you load them up. The best wall storage system is a heavy-duty bookcase, with sturdy sides and extra-thick shelves that prevent sagging. But solid wood and veneer bookshelves are costly. The best affordable heavy-duty shelving unit is the Basyx Heavy-Duty Signature Series Bookcase.
