Would this fit behind a door? We have very little space in my daughter's room, but we love our books!!

No. I believe it's too wide and heavy. Also there are quite a bit of parts to assemble so it maybe difficult on a door. It does hug close to the wall and slim which is why we bought it

The shelves adjust vertically. So as long as the books don't exceed the shelf depth, the book will fit. We use the shelves for paperbacks and they fit well.

We use it as a bookshelf in my son's room and it's completely full of books and holds up just fine. Not sure what you'd be looking to put on it but if it's clothes, it would work.

It is possible, but it will fit shortlly. I use a thin one and one or two books.

Not exactly. I use it for DVDs but my door has an offset panel that accommodates just enough space for DVDs. If the door was flat I don't think they would fit (with spines facing out.) If you have older wooden doors with paneling you have a better chance of it working but I think most newer doors wouldn't work. But then for 25 bucks it might be worth a shot anyway!I also cut some cardboard to fit along the bottom of the shelves so the DVDs wont fall through.

No, I found a wood box at Home Goods that fit in pretty well. The open end of the box faces front so it makes a shelf in there. The space behind the door needs something to split it up and make it more useful

Don't really understand the question but I love my shelves....wood fits right in...shelves go around and above bay window and hold a ton of books with no problem. I did have to paint because walls and trim were a different shade of white

It would work with a book that's not too tall or thick. Thge ledge that holds the book in place is rather small and only about 1/4 inch high. A magazine would work well, though.

The bookcase is at our lake house and we aren't currently there so can't measure right now. If I recall correctly, the first shelf sits quite low so might be problematic for you. We can measure when we return in a couple of weeks.

We tried to do this with small paperbacks. The problem is you can't see several inches of books because the sides towards the back of the cabinet are solid. The height of the shelves could be limiting. We also tried to put our DVDs in, which was our original plan, and it didn't work at all if you want to see inside to glass to find a movie. There's a lot of wasted space in the middle if you try to use the sides to view through the glass. Very cute design, but it's definitely not functional for us.

I wouldn't use this as a bookcase.... It's pretty deep and the the spaces would be difficult unless you are just storing books.

You could use this to hold books, however it is not considered a "book case". You can place books on the shelf and lower section behind the twin glass doors as well as on the middle and top shelves. Please note, you will need book ends if you wish to place books on the middle and top shelves as there aren't any end supports for them. The cabinet is designed for media type devices, but with some creativity will do a decent job holding just about any type of item.

I use this for shoe storage. With books, you might have to put it against a wall or something. Remember the depth of the box is only 4.5", this might be too shallow for wider books.

It sticks out less than 5 inches from the door. I rigged up solid bottoms for each shelf using foam core, cut to fit. If used as a bookshelf it would be necessary to turn the books face forward, although the unit seems sturdy enough to acomodate the weight.

It might look a little bit odd without them. The center shelf, sticks out about 3/4" further than the shelves behind the doors. Also, the sides of the middle shelf are not finished. So you see that 3/4" on the side that's unfinished without the door covering it. You could probably use a black sharpie on it though...

I'm currently using it as a bookcase. It's got 3 decent sized openings for books and then 2 smaller ones that are hidden behind the door that I still have books on but laying down. I love it though!

In my opinion this would not be good for book storage. They are very deep and the front tilts up to keep items in. Great for loose toys though!
