Would hardcover picture books fit in the shelves? I would like to use this in a nursary.

The larger ones would need to lay flat, but the end shelves work great for that. I have standard size in the main middle section & "coffee table" flat on the ends. Recommend not using bottom supports-let it sit on the bottom shelf. More stable that way & it still looks great.

it depends on the size of the book. the oversize one will have to lie flat.

Paperbacks will definitely fit, but I wouldn't put much weight on it. DVDs are okay, but it is fairly flimsy.

I guess it depends on the textbook sizes. The good thing about this shelf is you can adjust the height between shelves, Most of my big bigger books I can fit, if not typically I just turn them side ways and stack them.

Yes, it can hold a normal hardcover or paperback book. I measured mine and here are the measurements: 10.5" x 8" x 3". It works great for us.

Large books won't fit, but I tried some hardcover novels (9.5"x6.5") and they were fine. The space is 11" high, but because of the angle, it's just a bit over 6" deep at that point.

I have a mixture of hardback and paperback cookbooks on my shelves and they are holding up fine. If they are average size books, I would say you should be fine. However if you are using them for college size text books on a full shelf, I might hesitate in the purchase. Also I am not accessing my books everyday like you may in a classroom. If you are working with small kids who might climb on the shelves than I would not purchase it for a classroom.

I would not put very many books on the lower shelves. They aren't as sturdy as the top. That is the one thing that I was disappointed about. Don't get me wrong, the shelves aren't flimsy but just not as sturdy as I would have liked. Its a great looking table. I only have a few decorative items on the bottom shelves. But I'm sure you could put a few on them.

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

No, I would not use as bookshelf, it isn't sturdy enough. The space between the shelves is 10 inches.

The shelves are nice and deep and can also be adjusted for the height of your books. They're made for average sized books but taller books may require you to adjust how/where you place your sheves which is great to even have the option. I hope this was helpful.

I use mine to store hats, so I am not a really good judge, but I would think a more traditional bookcase would work better. Some of the shelves are not wide enough for a textbook.

It depends on the size of the books, but with a standard book size yes it is great for a book shelf. I use it for all of my dvds and school books and it works great. My son has some childrens books for example, the larger picture books that I can't put in there vertically so I lay them flat and stack them and they fit. But if you're looking to store standard book sizes it'll work! And it looks awesome too.

I have paperback books on mine. The adjustable shelves are very thin. So I am not sure about them holding the weight of bottles. The main shelves should be fine.

Yes you would just have to hold the book horizontally. They slip in from the sides. I have pictures displayed both ways and put a page of vertical pictures together and 2 pages of horizontal pictures together.

I would certainly think so. I Have mine filled with heavy books. The shelves sit very firmly and I would find it surprising if they could not take the weight of LPs. As for size, I don't have any records to measure, but the shelves measure about 11 3/4" high. And of course the top one is open so no problem there. The shelf depth is about 10 1/4 ". Looks to me like they would fit, but you could measure an album to be sure. I really like these shelves a lot...bought 3 of them!

Yeah. I would say the last two shelves will. I'm using it as more of a decorative shelf. I would recommend a more sturdy shelf if you are just looking for book storage however.

It might fit some small books...the internal triangle shelf is about 14 (side) x 14 (side) x 20 (front) inches and each shelf is about 1ft height.
