This desktop wood bookshelf sits on your table and leans a row of books, folders and magazines against a slanted frame, with the spines facing you. It stands only 14.5 cm high, so it stays under a monitor shelf or a low window sill. A student with a short stack of textbooks will manage with 33 cm, while a run of binders will want the 40 cm length. It is part of our Gifts & Decorations collection.
Key features
-
Slanted frame – books rest at an angle, so titles stay readable and the row is less likely to slump
-
Open sides – nothing boxes the ends in, which makes it quick to pull out a single file
-
Two lengths – 33 or 40 cm of shelf for a short stack or a longer row
-
Three finishes – white, natural wood or dark brown, to sit alongside your desk
-
Bolted joints – the crossed legs join with visible bolts, as the close-up photo shows

Frequently asked questions
Is this a floor bookcase?
No. This wood bookshelf is a small tabletop rack, 14.5 cm tall and 33 or 40 cm long, made to stand on a desk, a table or a shelf.
Will the desktop bookshelf fit on my desk?
Measure the length you have free and allow up to 24 cm of depth. The desktop wood bookshelf comes in 33 or 40 cm lengths, and the height stays at 14.5 cm in both.
How many books fit on this desktop bookshelf?
That depends on how thick your books are, so compare your row with the length: measure the stack spine to spine against 33 or 40 cm. Photo 3 shows the kinds of items it holds, such as books, files and magazines.
What wood finish is the dark brown desktop bookshelf?
The dark brown finish is sold by the maker as cassia siamea, and the frame is listed simply as wood. We do not state a species for the white or natural versions.
