In today's digital age, it's intriguing how much physical media still finds its way into our homes. I've accumulated a significant collection of books, video games, LEGO sets, and even some nostalgic DVDs, all of which are currently scattered across various bins in my closet. These items hold sentimental value, yet I lack a suitable storage solution to showcase them effectively. In search of the perfect bookcase that aligns with both my style and budget, I've turned to the Memorial Day sales for furniture deals.
Currently, numerous retailers are offering furniture discounts, but for bookcases, Wayfair stands out with its vast selection and budget-friendly options. While Amazon and Target also have enticing sales, Wayfair's extensive range of bookcase deals caught my attention. Here are some standout options I've discovered:

To streamline your search, utilize the site's filters to refine your choices by dimensions, material, and price. If none of the highlighted options appeal to you, these filters can significantly reduce the time spent browsing.
The featured bookcases include my personal favorites, each with its unique appeal. The geometric cases offer a stylish design but less storage space compared to the larger models. The Trivette Geometric bookcase, for instance, could be an excellent choice for video game storage, though it might not be as suitable for books as the Steel Geometric Bookcase. Meanwhile, the kids' bookshelf is perfect for my son's growing collection of baby books, though he'll outgrow them eventually. There's a lot to consider, making the decision both exciting and challenging.

Tips for Choosing a Bookcase for Your Home
While I'm not an interior design expert, my wife's profession as an interior designer has taught me a few valuable tips for selecting furniture. Beyond style, several practical considerations can guide your purchase:
Figure out where you want to put it
Before buying any furniture, it's crucial to determine its placement. This helps you pinpoint the necessary dimensions and choose a design that fits both practically and aesthetically. For instance, a large bookcase might overwhelm a small apartment, and you'll want to avoid clashing wood tones if placing it on wooden floors. Visualizing the bookcase in its intended space can streamline your decision-making process.
Figure out what you want to display
Next, consider what you'll be showcasing on the shelves. Will it be solely your book collection, or perhaps your 4K movie collection? Deciding whether to include other decorative items will influence the shelf heights and overall design you should look for.
Check the assembly options
Lastly, ensure you're prepared for assembly. Having worked at a furniture delivery company, I've seen how often people expect fully assembled pieces. Bookcases are generally easy to put together and come with the necessary tools, but it's wise to check reviews for assembly difficulty. Wayfair also offers professional assembly services for an additional fee, which can be a convenient option.
