A guy from work offered me a pair of old-style flat-faced bi-fold doors, with each section 16" wide. I shortened them to 65" so that they'd fit into a closet off my workshop (under the basement stairs), then, with some 1"x4"s, made them into a bookcase for my train magazine collection (and a lot of other junk). 
I used all four sections, with one sitting directly on the floor to help distribute the not-inconsiderable weight. An upright 1"x4" at each corner and the midpoint makes it very strong and stable.
Because of the location, I couldn't get a full-width view through the doorway:
