This was purchased to hold paperback books.  The shelves are the right depth for standard books and trade-size paperbacks fit fairly well with just a small amount of overhang (about 1/2 inch).  I was able to fit nearly 100 paperbacks on the seven shelves, knowing ahead of time that there would be more shelves than I could use (two shelves left over).  It is a sturdy unit and I plan to purchase several more in the near future.

Pros: Great value, easy assembly
