What Makes Amish Bookcases Unique?
Amish bookcases stand out due to their rich history and tradition of Amish craftsmanship. Each wood type offers four or more stain colors. If our extensive range of stain options doesn't meet your taste or match your existing décor, we can customize our solid wood bookcases to complement your current furniture or a sample piece perfectly. This is an excellent option for customers looking to expand their existing furniture set, whether for the living room or bedroom.
The simple design of bookcases allows our skilled builders to make custom size adjustments based on your specifications. We can modify the length, height, depth, and shelf quantities within a few inches per design. Some of the solid wood bookcase styles we offer include:
- Two-piece full-shelf bookcases
- Two-piece half-shelf bookcases with doors
- Single executive bookcases with adjustable shelves
- Single solid wood bookcases with or without doors
- Various wall-mounted bookcases
- Swivel bookcases
- Bookcases with glass doors, drawers, and shelves
Our bookcases are crafted in styles such as Mission Heritage, Shaker, and a mix.
Specific Features of Amish Bookcases
Solid Hardwood Construction
At Amish Furniture Factory, our bookcases are crafted using only the finest solid hardwoods, ensuring both beauty and durability. The types of hardwoods used in our bookcases include oak, cherry, quarter-sawn white oak, maple, brown maple, rustic cherry, and rustic hickory. These woods are chosen not only for their strength but also for their unique grain patterns, which add character and warmth to each piece.
Durability and Longevity: Solid hardwood is known for its exceptional durability. Unlike particleboard or veneer-covered furniture, solid hardwood can withstand the rigors of daily use without showing significant wear. This durability means that our Amish bookcases are built to last, becoming treasured heirlooms that can be passed down through generations.
Aesthetic Appeal: Each type of hardwood offers a distinct visual appeal, from the deep, rich tones of cherry to the lighter, more subtle grains of maple. The natural beauty of these woods is further enhanced by our selection of stains, allowing you to customize the finish to perfectly match your existing décor.
Adjustable Shelf Options
Our Amish bookcases are designed with versatility in mind, featuring adjustable shelves that allow you to tailor the storage space to your specific needs.
Benefits of Adjustable Shelves: The adjustable shelves in our bookcases provide you with the flexibility to organize your books and decorative items exactly as you wish. Whether you need to accommodate tall books, display collectibles, or create a balanced arrangement, these shelves can be easily moved to suit your requirements.
Enhancing Customization: Adjustable shelves enhance the customization of your bookcase, making it a truly personalized piece of furniture. With the ability to change the shelf spacing, you can ensure that your bookcase evolves with your needs, whether that means adjusting for a growing collection or rearranging for aesthetic purposes.
Range of Shelf Spacing Adjustments: Our bookcases offer a wide range of shelf spacing adjustments, allowing you to create the perfect configuration for your space. This feature is especially useful for those who want to maximize storage while maintaining a clean, organized look.

| Measure Height Clearance | Measure Width | Measure Depth |
|---|---|---|
Measure from the floor to the ceiling where the bookcase will sit. Make sure there’s enough space for the bookcase to fit under any ceiling lights, molding, or fixtures.  |
Measure the space from one side of the designated area to the other. Ensure the bookcase fits without blocking any walkways or nearby furniture.  |
Measure how far out from the wall the bookcase will extend. Avoid placing it too far into the room, as this can block walkways or radiators.  |
