Bookcases & Shelving — Expert Answer

Can I use a bookcase to store heavy catalogs and sample books?

Yes — oversized catalogs and fabric sample books can weigh 10–20 lbs. each. For shelves storing multiple catalogs, ensure the bookcase is rated at least 75 lbs. per shelf and choose a 16 in. deep shelf to accommodate large-format binders. The bottom shelf typically carries the heaviest loads and should be reinforced accordingly. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries heavy-duty storage bookcases — call 1-800-460-0858.
