made a lumbber rack recently and used some galvanized welded mesh instead

may try this with a bookshelf but instead will probably go with some
stainless mesh

it gives it a modern look and is also easier to keep clean

the mesh can be expensive depending on what you get but it looks good


anyone tried using a mesh instead of wood for shelves








Probably not a good idea for books. The mesh would impress itself
into the bottom edge of the books. Mesh would be fine for hard stuff,
but not for softer stuff, such as books.
