Modern Bookcases and Shelving

There's nothing quite like unwinding at the end of a long workday, sipping a glass of wine, and delving into your favorite book. If you're a regular reader, chances are your collection has grown significantly. The solution? A bookshelf! It's the perfect way to keep your books organized and elevate your space.

 

But don't fret if you're not an avid reader; decorative bookshelves are versatile and serve multiple purposes beyond book storage. They can become a canvas for enhancing your living room's decor or a functional spot for housing family photos and DVDs. Before you rush out to purchase a new bookshelf, there are a few key factors to consider, such as the type of shelves and the material that best suits your needs.

Bookshelf + Bookcase Types

When it comes to decorative bookshelves and bookcases for your home, you have a variety of options to choose from. Let's take a closer look at these choices:

1. Standard Shelves: The most common and traditional choice, standard shelves feature a sturdy set of horizontal platforms for your books and items.

2. Cube Bookcases: Cube storage bookcases consist of square shelves that neatly stack on top of one another. Some even offer removable sliding drawers, providing convenient storage for a wide range of items.

3. Etagere Style Bookcases: Etagere bookcases are characterized by their light, open design, perfect for showcasing decorations. They are an excellent choice if you want bookshelves that can beautifully display plants and ornaments in a way that ensures they are easily visible and accessible.

Bookshelf, Bookcase, Cube Storage Materials

Once you've settled on the type of bookshelf or cube storage that suits your needs, the next consideration is the material. Here are some popular material options to consider:

1. Wood: Wood is the most common and timeless choice for decorative bookshelves. It exudes an elegant and robust quality, making it an ideal fit for your living room.

2. Metal: Metal is often used for the frame of the bookshelf, offering an open and airy design that showcases the items on the shelf. This minimalist approach leaves plenty of open space to display your possessions.

3. Glass: If you seek an elegant and luxurious ambiance, glass shelves are an excellent choice. Glass creates a sense of sophistication while providing a transparent appearance that seamlessly blends with your existing decor, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your space.

Eurway Urges Safety: Anchor Your Furniture!

Attention: Avoidable Furniture Tip-Over Accidents! Protect your loved ones by securing your furniture to the wall using tip-restraint devices, preventing potential harm to children from unsecured furniture. Some furniture pieces can become unstable and tip over, posing a risk of injury or even death. Properly installed tip-restraint devices are an effective means to prevent furniture tipping accidents and ensure safety.

Securing Large Furniture: What's Essential

What's at Stake: Depending on your wall material, the required materials and tools for securing large furniture may vary. These can encompass mounting straps, mounting baskets, wall anchors, screws, toggle screws, nuts, and bolts.

Identify Your Wall Material

• Drywall or Plaster with Wood Stud: Simply use a screw, directly into the stud.
• Solid Stone, Brick, or Masonry: Employ a wall anchor and screw.
• Drywall or Plaster without a Wood Stud: Utilize a wall anchor and screw.
• Hollow Stone, Brick, or Masonry: Opt for a toggle screw for secure installation.

Securing Your Furniture

1. Attach the tip-restraint device securely to the furniture.
2. Secure the tip-restraint device firmly to the wall.
3. Adjust the tip-restraint device as needed to ensure a secure attachment.

Safety Guidelines

• Ensure the secure anchoring of large furniture to the wall. Unsecured furniture can pose concealed dangers.
• Always store the heaviest items on lower drawers and shelves.
• Prohibit children from climbing on drawers or shelves to prevent accidents.
• Regularly inspect and confirm the firm attachment of tip restraints.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the specific tip restraint device.
• Depending on the weight of the product, it may be necessary to use multiple anti-tip restraining devices for added safety.
