I am looking for something that looks like this, but would go in my dining room and hold cookbooks. Would this work for that purpose?

I have many cookbooks and they usually average between 15-18" tall. You would have to leave one of the shelf levels out in order to use it for that purpose. You may want to look for a different choice for that purpose.

It is holding my TV. So it probably is strong enough for a lot of books. But the shelves don't go flush against the wall (at least, mine don't), so the only problem would be the books standing up. You could lay them flat and pile them.It will probably hold a fish bowl, too, but I'd suggest putting it on the lower shelves.

It should be okay. I use it in the kitchen to hold a lot of different cooking sauces and oils which are quite heavy.

Aloha again!! Thought I would have a hard time finding it! But I found it and I think that this bookshelf would be better, because no matter how u put it, straight up or horizontally, u can put things on the shelf.

You're looking for a kitchen wrap organizer (http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kitchen+wrap+organizer). You could use this item for that purpose; it's probably sturdier than you need, but it'll look pretty.

Hello, I use mine to hold my cookbooks, I do not use bookends at all, and I have a ton of books on the shelves. You can set up the books, such as some stacked and some standing, so that bookends are not necessary. These are sturdy good looking shelves that do not disappoint. Very easy to put together also, and look very nice in the room. Get lots of compliments on them. Hope this info is helpful to you.

While not it's primary purpose, it would be sturdy enough to write on, and would hold supplies inside better than just a flat lap table. Why not try it! Best of luck!

Hi Nancy...I think it would work well. My husband has it on a small table next to his reading chair and keeps folders with information on the bottom 2 shelves. On the top shelf he keeps his Kindle and a notebook. Even though there is a bit of weight on each shelf the shelves have never seemed to sag. I think it is a pretty good little shelf unit and unless you put a huge amount of weight on each shelf I don't see a problem. I hope this helps.

I think it just might work well for kitchen items. The shelves appear quite sturdy. Also good for small box items.

This table is quite tall. About as high as your average kitchen counter. So I do not think this will work for that application.

No it wont look good hence the word "book shelf" buy a "tv stand" usually you can find ones that say how much weight they can with stand.

You could use it as a shoe shelf, but in my opinion that would be overkill. This unit looks beautiful lined with books and knick-knacks. Used for shoes would downgrade the innate beauty of the unit. Find something else!

Yes it will. It will also hold standard size Betty Crocker cookbooks. We have really enjoyed using ours.

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!

I think it would work! We are using ours in a bedroom for a TV, but could be used anywhere! The shelve is adjustable for different size books and it is very sturdy!

Yes, it would be great for that. I just checked and a standard wine/liquor bottle fit with room to spare on the top and bottom shelves. You would be able to fit a lot of bottles in this cabinet.

It probably wouldn't work particularly well as a dining table, because there are hinges on each side and the table might buckle somewhat under pressure. You really can't sit on it, for instance. Still, it could work if you were careful. You could put a piece of plywood underneath to give more support.
