Get a grip on your reading
The Book Stop is a hardwood wall shelf with a clever sliding stop that grips your books in place. Push near the top to slide it easily, press your books together and release for a satisfying, reliable hold. A little upward force releases it. Press it tight enough and it’ll even flatten worn‑out books.
Simple, rock‑solid assembly
It arrives in pieces you assemble yourself with dovetail joints, precision‑cut with a taper so they ease in and tighten as they go together. The result is a rock‑solid shelf anyone can assemble without tools.
Two keyhole slots on the back make it easy to hang level on standard screws or anchors. Made entirely from sustainably sourced North American cherry or black walnut.

What struck me about the Book Stop as I was assembling it was just how smooth the wood was. It's like glass. I didn't know you could do that to wood. Assembly is satisfying. I used a smidge of wood glue to really hold it together, but the joints were so snug I didn't have to.
I love the Book Stop. I love that it's actually two shelves, not one. My cat also loves the Book Stop. He looks up at it often. At first I thought he was puzzling out how to get on top of it. But now I think that he, like me, just really appreciates quality woodwork.
