how thick is the shelf when it is closed?

The actual shelf is 1 1/2" deep when closed. However, the bottom of the springs (which hang lower than the shelf when closed) is 2 3/4" deep.

Right at 2 inches in the front, and 3 inches on the sides, due to the springs. And btw, I love it!

When closed (raised position) the rear (back wall) of the acrylic cookbook assembly sits 2.75" below the bottom of the upper cabinet, and 2" below the front of the upper cabinet. However, most upper cabs were constructed with a 1" reveal. The visible part of the closed assembly then nets 1". Because the visible end (bottom) of the assembly is clear acrylic, it is virtually unnoticeable, exclusive of the metal spring hinge assembly on either rear side --- which is also essentially unnoticeable.

You can barely see it. Maybe 1 inch( at a distance) if you are really looking for it.

It's about 1/2 inch thick, sturdy enough to hold a bunch of cookbooks, but i think it's laminate and I think it would NOT be a good cutting surface. It is nice looking, easy to put together, and a nice sturdy shelving unit.

about 1/8th inch, kinda thin but after you put it together it gets stronger

there is a small lip along the front of the shelf that keeps things from falling off, although it does still happen if you close the door hard.

It's almost an inch. It's pretty nice I am beyond satisfied with it. I had another bookshelf I bought from Walmart. It was flimsy and tilted from side to side from lack of support. This bookshelf is nothing like that. I am a happy customer. I use mines the long way fyi.

The shelves are about 5/8" thick, we use it for displaying computer software, but as bojack mentioned they would not be able to lean. We have that exact issue with our software boxes. Any movement of the case will cause the software to lean forward onto the glass so as soon as we open the case any forward leaning software comes tumbling out.

Must be closed, Mickey. Mine is set up in my office and the surface shelf space is approx. 18 inches deep.

60 inches edge to edge. Don't think twice about purchasing this item. Easy assembly and extremely solid! I have 9 components in lower two shelves, so plenty of room. Also very attractive appearance.

I'm not near shelves as I'm answering this but the size of box was about the same as the listed length and width of shelves once assembled. The thickness was approximately 4 inches.

Mary C. is correct about the material. I measured 10" between shelves, so there's a 1/2" difference. This should give you a pretty good idea.

Its pretty thin. The shelves themselves are not metal. They are some kind of composite fiber or maybe plastic. It might be a 16th of an inch (which I guess would make it a 16 guage.

I can't say exactly, but mine is loaded down with books and the shelves don't appear to be buckling even slightly.

the bottom of the open shelf is 19 inches from floor. The inside top part of open shelf is 25 1/2 inches from floor. So the inside height of the open shelf is 6 1/2 inches. It is a nice sturdy piece of furniture. Real wood. Door swings true and stays shut. I use it for a bedside table Easy for me to put together.Hope that helps answer your question.

The inside depth of the shelves from front to back with the door closed is 12".

It says in the description, the shelf is 12-inches deep. I am not at home now to measure it, but if you contact the seller they are very helpful and could answer your question. Or maybe a solution that would work!
