When should I choose a freestanding bookcase versus wall-mounted shelves?

Freestanding bookcases are easier to relocate, don't require wall attachment (except for safety anchoring on tall units), and work in rental spaces where you can't make permanent modifications. Wall-mounted shelving can carry heavier loads (the weight goes into wall studs, not the shelf unit), makes better use of vertical space, and keeps the floor clear. If you're in a permanent space with structural walls and need maximum storage, wall-mounted systems win on capacity. For flexibility and portability, freestanding wins.
