Favorite storage solutions from Hale Barrister Bookcases

For over 100 years, the Hale Barrister Bookcase has been a law office fixture, with its classic lift up, sliding glass doors, trusted with protecting law journals, books and law binders from dust and unauthorized access. Hale Barrister Bookcases have a very loyal following, including antique bookcase enthusiasts and brand new fans who love the versatility of the new bookcase styles and use them to store just about anything, from vinyl records to favorite wines.

Versatile Storage, Favored For Generations

A family business since 1907, Hale Barrister Bookcases are still made in the USA from North American hardwood and built with the same handcrafted quality. Unlike cheap, particle-board imitations sold by other furniture companies, Hale Barrister Bookcases are made from solid wood with a clever interlocking design. The fully assembled, stackable modular design has made the Hale Barrister Bookcase a perennial favorite for generations. The stacking glass door shelf sections, wood door shelf sections, and drawer sections can be re-arranged and re-configured in any combination, at any time, in any room.

Whether you purchase a new Hale Barrister Bookcase or repurpose an heirloom piece, here are some of our favorite storage ideas:
