Overview:

Conceal Invisible Book Shelves are a clever way to literally float books on your wall. The ingenious design allows you to pile up to 20 lbs worth of books without being able to discern the support mechanism regardless of viewing angle. The books simply appear to be floating.

The Conceal Invisible Bookshelf requires at least one hardcover book on the bottom. But, then you can add soft cover books or any other decor item.

Features & specs:

  • Large size holds up to 20lbs
  • Hardware included with each Conceal Bookshelf

Step 3: Pile your books high!

Grab your romance novels, self-help books, and high-falutin' "smart" books and pile them high on your "magical" floating book shelves.  Once you have at least one hardcover book on the bottom of the Conceal Book Shelf, you can also stack paperback books, magazines, periodicals, timeshare brochures, etc.

Conceal Invisible Book Shelves can hold up to 20 lbs of books.
The final step is to pile the books high enough so that you cover the entire Conceal Book Shelf support.

A few customer questions we've answered

Q: Is the steel magnetic? Could I put it on a blackboard without screwing it in?
A: Unfortunately, no, although that is a cool idea!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What do you do if you want to remove the book that is inserted into the Conceal Bookshelf? Will it be difficult to remove it and put it back without disturbing the books on top of it?
A: To remove the bottom book, gently lift up the books stacked on top of it a little bit and slide it out. Piece of cake!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Would inserting the back cover into the Conceal Bookshelf damage the book at all?
A: As long as you exercise an appropriate amount of care while placing books in your Conceal Bookshelf, they won't be damaged.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Do you think I could keep a small gold fish bowl on this thing?
A: We don't suggest using the conceal bookshelf to hold a goldfish bowl. However, the large conceal book shelf can hold up to 20 lbs, so as long as your goldfish bowl weighs less than, you should be OK.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I'm pretty much in love with this idea. Does that make me a nerd?
A: No way. That makes you awesome.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: no question... just an fyi.... your initial picture of the shelf SHOWS THE BRACKET!!! not very invisible!!! the pictures in the directions are correct.... i love mine and am adding two more !
A: I guess our invisibility cloak wasn't working in that photo.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: Okay. I was wondering how many of whatever size I would need to fit all 7 Harry Potter books? because its invisible.... magic..... just thought it would look AWESOME!
A: That's a great idea! I'd go with the Large Conceal Shelf. It holds 20lbs and is more suitable for hardback books.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: what if i have less than the number of stacks of books? will it be visible???????? *GASP*
A: It takes about 4-5 medium-sized books to cover up the shelf's bracket and make it "invisible". We sure hope you have at least that many books in your home. If not, we suggest trucking it on over to the bookstore. Reading is fun!
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: I have some books that are 9" deep. Too big, I assume for the standard size. Are they too small for the large? Will a 9" book on an invisible shelf designed for a 10" book render it visible?
A: A 9" deep book will fit on the Large size Conceal Shelf. The bottom of the shelf itself sticks out about 6" from the wall, so the shelf will not be seen if the book is more than 6" deep.
Was this question useful to you? Yes | No

Q: What if I want to remove the shelf and reuse in my next apartment?Will the same screws be good to use? In case I lose the screws, can I replace them with similar sized ones?
A: Moving the Conceal Shelf is not a big deal. Simply unscrew, move it to the new location, and re-mount it. If you were to lose the screws, you could pick up similarly sized ones at a hardware store.

Q: This would be going into drywall with no studs, will it stay up with the 15lbs of books on the smaller shelf or fall down?

Was this question useful to you? Yes | No
