This video will show you how to build a bookcase. Not only that, but I prove that even a beginner can build it, and it will be a very strong bookcase. This how to video will step you through the process. Those cheap particle board bookcases are fine as they are very low cost, but you can build a much stronger bookcase very easily and it will last for many years. This bookcase is intended to be college furniture for my son. The best thing about this bookcase is that it is strong and easy to build. Watch this video to see how to build a bookcase - Strong and Easy.

A few people asked for plans. While I don't have plans, below are more detailed description. I hope with these written details and the video you can make your way through the project. It took a while to get these as my son had the bookshelf over 100 miles away, but I went to see him for his graduation...

Okay, I'm back from my son's graduation and I have measurements. He did not have great lighting so it was tough to see but I believe I have the measurements now. This will be a longer post as I'll give you the measurements, then my sugguestion to make your life easier.

My son wanted the overall dimensions to be 4' x 4' so here are the measurements as I built it. One thing you should definitely do is only you have the sides, top, and shelves cut, measure those for exact measurements for the face frame and back braces rather than go for my measurements. Plywood is not exactly 3/4". Same thing for once you get it assembled and ready to cut the face frame.

Also, I was able to maximize my plywood because I was painting it. If you are staining it you may not be able to maximize as much as you'll want to pay attention to grain direction to make it look nicer.

Feel free to to use the comments for any questions you may have.

Sides
48" x 14"

Bottom, top, and 2 middle shelves
46" x 12 3/4" (This allows for the 3/4" back brace and the 1/2" back panel)

Brace for bottom back
46" x 1 1/2" (about 4:11 in my video)

Braces for 2 middle shelves attached to back
46" x 2"

Face frame
1 1/2"
Sides: 48"
4 shelves: 44 1/2"
Definitely measure these to the actual assembled case as yours will certainly be different by a little

Back piece of 1/2" plywood (could use 1/4" just fine - I used 1/2 because I had it already)
46" x 47.25"

Sides and top
48" x 14"

Bottom and 2 middle shelves
48" x 12 3/4" (This allows for the 3/4" back brace and the 1/2" back panel)

Brace for bottom back
48" x 1 1/2" (about 4:11 in my video)

Braces for 2 middle shelves attached to back
48" x 2"

Face frame
1 1/2"
Sides: 48"
4 shelves: 46 1/2"

I truly did my best to give accurate measurements here. Good Luck and let me know how it goes!
