Our Favorite Tall Wooden Bookcases - 7 ft. Tall and Greater

An extra tall bookcase can define a room by drawing the eye vertically to emphasize the room’s height while limiting the use of floor space.


Countryside Amish Furniture offers hundreds of solid wood bookcases fitting for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices, many of which come in heights greater than 7 feet. However, we decided to list our absolute favorites to help you shop for extra tall bookcases, all made-to-order by Amish craftsmen using your choice of solid wood and stain.

Like all shelving sold by Countryside Amish Furniture, you have the ability to customize this unit with your choice of solid wood and stain. However, this particular bookcase lets you select the height itself. Options span from a stout 4’ to an extra tall 7’. Plus, you can adjust the shelves and take your pick from various knob designs. 

The Lakewood Storage Bookcase offers more than its tall reach and modification options; its craftsman style with subtle flare will handsomely frame your books and prized possessions, while the base will help you keep clutter tucked behind wooden doors. Best yet, this bookcase has coordinating furniture pieces for different types of rooms. Place this extra tall bookshelf in your office, and you can buy matching desks and file cabinets. Position it in the bedroom, and you can choose from dressers, nightstands, and more.
