Can a bookcase be positioned next to a desk to serve as a monitor stand or riser surface?

A 42"–48" bookcase positioned beside a desk creates a useful side surface for a secondary monitor, printer, or phone. The surface height is close to desk height (most desks are 29"–30"; a 42" bookcase top is obviously higher), which makes it better for a printer or reference stack than a second monitor, unless you're using a monitor arm. Lower 30"–36" bookcases might work as an elbow-height side surface. This is a practical and low-cost way to expand your workspace without buying a credenza.
