Fifty-three inches wide is an unusual proportion for a bookshelf and a useful one. Most shelving goes up this goes across, which means it works along a wall where a tall unit would look top-heavy, behind a sofa as a low divider, or in a room with a low ceiling where a six-foot bookcase would feel oppressive. The width also means long shelves, and long shelves are where cheap bookcases fail. A 52.8 in span of unsupported board under a full load of books would bow within months. The steel frame carries the load at the edges and at intermediate points, which is why large shelves are rated to 44 lb and small ones to 33 lb, with a total static capacity of 386 lb across the unit. At 55.9 in tall on a 9.4 in depth, the unit is shallow enough not to project into a room despite its width. Particleboard on steel brings the assembled weight to 46.8 lb. Mixing large and small shelf sections rather than running uniform tiers gives the piece visual structure and means books, vinyl, and display objects each have a section sized for them.
