What are bookcase strips used for?

Bookcase strips are slotted metal strips fitted into cabinet sides to allow adjustable shelving. They pair with shelf studs (shelf pegs) to create strong, reliable shelf support—ideal for custom joinery, traditional libraries, and fitted interiors.

Flat vs raised profile: choosing the right strip

Choose from flat and raised profile options depending on your installation method. Flat strips are typically rebated into panels for a neat, flush finish, while raised strips are surface-mounted for quicker fitting and straightforward retrofits.

Shelf studs & accessories

Complete your setup with matching shelf studs in standard and heavy-duty options to suit different shelf depths and loads—perfect for everyday storage, heavier shelving, or display cabinetry.

Matching hardware & consistent finish

From The Anvil’s black finish works beautifully alongside the wider range of From The Anvil architectural ironmongery for a consistent look across furniture hardware and interior details.
