It's all a matter of how much we you are going to put into it. I just finished a bookcase that's 5x6 and that took about three weeks. I went a little extreme with it though. depending on the measurements, you could order the fake rock background from exoterra and slip that into the shelves. my concern with your bookcase is that the doors slide into the top of each section so that limits what you can do with lighting or heating. what are the hxwxd?
