When looking at the Ikea bookcases, we looked at the specs. Under the tab 'product information'. The one that's 11" deep is able to hold only 66 lbs. vs 93 lbs for the one 15 3/8" deep. 

We weighed the sefarim of a pile 30" wide. (The width of the shelf.) It's weight was too much for the 11" shelf, so we got the deeper one.  So far, happy.  2 years with the 'mesivta', no warping.

Are there currently any good deals on Seforim Shranks? I am looking for one the size that can hold like 5 sets of 20 volumes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the IKEA shrank above a good deal ( http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80245640/ ) ? Should I wait for a sale? I am no rush to buy.

TIA
I got exactly that some 4/5 months ago,  I couldn't be more happy!

Don't want to pay $129 in shipping. I am just going to buy it at an Ikea store next week.

I have three of these in 72" (espresso), and I'm extremely happy with them. They are more pricey than IKEA, but they hold seforim of all sizes extremely well.

If you do go with sauder from staples (which I have and highly recommend if you dont need anything fancy) you should wait till they go on sale which is every few months or so for about $100 and use %20 off coupons so comes out to be around $80 delivered.

I have one of those in my office and it's decent, but I wouldn't want to put a chosson shas on anything but the middle or bottom shelf.

Like this one a lot, but price is pretty high. Wonder if there's a way to replicate it.

I definitely agree but I would like to point out the shelves are all 1 inch as opposed to most nowadays which are 1/2 inch that was my reasoning when i bought them

Any recommendations for a sefarim shrank ? I need it to fit a large shas and have room for other stuff.

Billy shelves are also only 11” deep, so not really deep enough for the big (e.g. Chosson) Shas sets.
