Panel Furniture Shelves

There are two basic types of wood panel furniture shelves, double-faced or single-faced. Which of these you choose of either one whether you chose one style or a mixture of both will depend on both your room layout and exactly what you plan to store on the shelves. Single-faced or wall-type shelving units cannot stand alone. They must be anchored to a wall for proper support. Double-faced or aisle-type shelving can stand alone so that the amount of shelving your project needs can be placed anywhere in your room

Hardwood shelving is available in four different heights, 42, 48, 60.5 and 82 inches in height. 42 and 48 inch high shelves are easy to reach shelves are ideal for almost any shelving need. 60.5 inch shelves are also ideal for areas where visibility is a must for your free standing units. Finally, 82 inch high shelves are ideal for any area where floor space is limited and a higher storage density is required.

Panel furniture shelves made of hardwood are available in depths of 10 and 12 inches. The biggest factor in choosing one over the other is the type of books or others objects you will be shelving. Wider books and other kinds of objects will probably require a deeper shelf. Custom sized shelf widths are available but are usually two to three times the cost.

Most panel furniture are available with an optional back to prevent your books, trophies and other media from being pushed out the back. Backs are finished on one side and are available in an economy version board that is painted light or dark or in a plywood matching wood grain version.

Optional partitions to separate each side of the shelving unit are available. Partitions are finished on both sides and are available in an economy version board that is painted light or dark or a plywood matching wood grain.

Most panel furniture shelves under 65 inches in height can be ordered with optional high-pressure laminate tops to prevent scratches and wear from visitors and family members. Shelving is the easiest way to conveniently store frequently used items or to show off treasured items.
