What's the ideal shelf spacing for different types of items stored in an office bookcase?

Different items need different shelf spacing: standard paperback books need 8"–9" of clearance; 3-ring binders need 11"–13" depending on binder thickness; 8.5"x11" hanging file folders need 14"–16" of vertical clearance; letter-tray stacks for paper need 12"+; trade magazines laid flat need 14"+. Most adjustable bookcases let you set shelves in 1" or 1.5" increments — always measure your tallest items before finalizing shelf spacing. Having extra pins on hand lets you readjust as your storage needs change. FindOfficeFurniture.com has bookcases with fine-pitch adjustability — call 888-719-4960 for the best deals.
