Barrister's Bookcase
Modular Barrister’s Bookcase plan with stackable sections, classic glass or wood panel fronts, and easy joinery—perfect for flexible storage.
Build a timeless Barrister’s Bookcase with a modular design that’s as functional as it is elegant. This project features straightforward joinery and manageable assemblies, making it ideal for most skill levels. Each unit consists of a cap, base, and interchangeable case modules with framed glass doors. You can stack taller or shorter case units to suit your space and storage needs—and easily add more sections later.
The beauty of this design is its flexibility. Inspired by classic legal bookcases, each section connects with a simple cleat system—no complex joinery or hardware required. This makes transporting and assembling the bookcase much easier, especially in tight spaces. Whether you want a classic glass front or a solid wood panel option, this project offers multiple ways to customize your build.
