As for wby suspended? I’m just trying to keep things off the floor, make it more open.

Are you planning to use a total of four threaded rods, one near each shelves corners?

You could use 7/8" diameter threaded rods, especially if the rods are visible; this would give a "sturdier" look.

I designed and built several bookcases, all my bookcases are made of solid wood, with center dividers to prevent the shelves from sagging.

All my bookcases are floor standing, but I salute your approach to design a bookcase hanged from the ceiling.

I'm using two rods (one on each side), centered front to back, and about 8" from each side.

A computer model showed that using the wood type (Poplar), thickness, weight, etc... the location of the rods (I think it was 8", but I'll need to check) will cause the shelves to sag very little with a full 100lbs on each shelf (which is unlikely since I only have about 250lbs of books).

Thanks, some people really like this idea and thought my creativity is great. Many of them want pictures of it's complete.

it reminds me of a HVAC or something hanging off of factory ceiling beams
