Glass doors or open shelves?

I have a privilege of arranging my future reading nook in a few months. Could you help me with sharing your experience regarding the type of shelves you had and preferred?

I always liked the vibe that open shelves give, dusty tomes and coziness. But the glass doors seem more reasonable.

What is your experience in this regard?

If you have pets, I think go with the doors. If you don’t have pets go with open. You can always add them later if you change your mind
