I built some simple book cases in my daughter's room by using shelving board for the top, sides, and shelves. Holding it all together is a plywood backing. I glued and used small brad nails to secure them. Then I painted them. This was about 18 years ago and even though she has moved out, they are still in great shape. It allowed me to build them to the exact size we needed and utilize all the space.
I have two that are too tall and would like to cut them down and make them a foot lower. Any suggestions on if this can be done and what is the best way to do it?

I highly recommend IKEA for bookcases. They are inexpensive yet hold up great and they have a huge selection.
