This is a bookcase I built for our new house. It covers the entire wall and I made five separate carcasses in the garage and then moved them into the room on a small pedestal base. I also decided to make it multi-dimensional with the center three cases slightly offset from the two ends. Some crown molding around the entire room finished the look.
All of the shelves are adjustable / removable. I originally was going to add some doors to the center three bottoms, but my wife liked it as it is and who am I to argue?
If you want, you can see several articles detailing the build on my blog here: Paul's Blog.

I like that you bumped the three center cases out, giving it a bit of definition, rather than a “flat wall” effect of running them across at the same depth.
I bet it really enhanced the room, nice work!
I also like the crown molding all the way around the room.
OK, now I have to go check your blog out for these.

great job on that bookshelf unit. I really like the contrasting depth of the units. I hope you don’t mind, but I may borrow some of the ideas you had/used. Again, great bookshelf!
