Corner bookcase alternative for small spaces, Digi Mart USA News: A standard bookcase is a tall rectangle that can leave one wall of a small room effectively unused. A corner shelf is one alternative, and the Tribesigns 7-shelf Brown and Black Corner Bookcase sold at Lowe’s is presented as a way to use that otherwise wasted corner area.
According to the manufacturer, each shelf can hold up to 40 pounds. The piece combines reinforced wood shelves with x-shaped metal cross-frames, which the publisher says adds to its load-bearing capacity and sturdiness and fits a rustic home design style.
The open-shelving design is described as feeling lighter than a standard bookcase.
Customers who bought the piece reportedly found it fairly easy to assemble alone, though the included wall anchor screws may not tighten enough and some reported missing assembly parts. The shelves are not adjustable, so buyers planning to store tall items should check dimensions first.
The publisher suggests the unit could be used beyond living rooms and bedrooms, including as shoe storage in a walk-in closet, for linens and sweaters, for pantry staples and small appliances, and in garages for sporting equipment, tools, paint cans or holiday decorations. Total weight in garage use should not exceed 350 pounds, and the publisher advises securing the shelf with wall anchors.
