Even as digital media becomes the norm, I still own a surprising amount of physical media that needs a home. Books, video games, LEGO sets, and even some older DVDs are currently tucked away in various bins in my closet. Each item is meaningful to me, yet I lack a suitable storage solution to display them properly. I'm on the hunt for a good bookcase that fits my style and budget, which is why I've been checking out the Memorial Day sales for furniture deals.
Retailers are currently offering a wealth of furniture promotions. For bookshelves and bookcases, I've found Wayfair to offer the most straightforward browsing experience. Amazon and Target are also running Memorial Day furniture sales, but for this particular need, Wayfair provides the widest selection of affordable options. Below, I've pulled together a few interesting choices I've discovered so far, but there's an entire section of bookcase deals across all price ranges to explore.

You can refine your search by the dimensions you need, select the frame or shelf material, and sort by price. If the options I've highlighted don't appeal to you, narrowing your search criteria will save you significant time browsing what's available.
The deals I featured are just a handful of my personal favorites that I'm considering. The two geometric bookcases have the most interesting designs, though they offer much less storage than the larger models. The Trivette Geometric bookcase looks like a fantastic option for storing video games, but I'm unsure if it would accommodate my book collection as well as the Steel Geometric Bookcase. The kids' bookshelf would be perfect for my son's baby books, but he'll outgrow them eventually. All things considered, there are plenty of factors to weigh.

Tips for Choosing a Bookcase for Your Home
I'm no interior design expert, but my wife is an interior designer, so I've picked up some useful tips on selecting furniture. While style is a major factor, there are several practical aspects to consider before making a purchase. Here are some quick pointers if you're unsure where to begin.
Figure out where you want to put it
The first and most crucial step before buying any furniture is determining its intended location. This helps you identify the necessary dimensions and what design will work best, both practically and aesthetically, in that space. For instance, a massive bookcase that occupies half the room isn't a wise choice for a small apartment. If the shelf is going into a room with wood floors, you might want to avoid a wood finish in a slightly different tone that could clash. Knowing where you'll place the bookshelf helps you visualize the ideal fit.
Figure out what you want to display
Once you've chosen a spot, the next important consideration is what you'll actually place on the shelves. Will it be solely for your book collection, or primarily for your 4K movie library? You should also decide if you plan to add other decorative items or if it will be dedicated to media. This decision can influence the shelf heights you should look for.
Check the assembly options
My final tip is to confirm you can assemble the bookcase yourself before buying. I once worked for a furniture delivery company and was often surprised by how many people expect items to arrive fully assembled. Bookcases are generally straightforward to put together and typically include the necessary tools, but it's wise to read reviews about the assembly difficulty beforehand. Wayfair also provides an optional paid service to have someone assemble it for you.
