I would consider the Unifi gear, but I have issues with the form factor: how do you put that round thing on the top shelf of a bookcase or whatever?

The in-wall ones might work better for me though -- although I think it's silly to have to terminate an in-wall cable to a plug to plug into the back.

Is there a reason you cannot mount it on the wall just above the bookshelf? One of the things I really like about the Unifi gear is how just small and inconspicuous it is. It really helped sell it when I suggested it to my mom and other family members. Mounted most of the APs for them on the ceilings, but a few of them are wall mounted as well. The ceiling ones look nicer than any smoke detecter I have ever seen.

So I actually really like the UniFi gear for that when compared to some crazy Linksys gamer router that just looks... so over done.
