Book weight
A bookcase is sized by the books, not by the wall. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
Tell us which. A tall case of heavy books needs a thicker shelf than a case of novels. Put the heavy books low. The case is happier, and so is the person who fetches them.
Paperbacks and art books are different loads.

A bookcase is sized by the books, not by the wall.
The bottom shelf takes the weight you do not want to lift.
Put the heavy books low. The case is happier, and so is the person who fetches them.
Book weight is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
