Estante is about the entire shelf as a whole.
Anaquel is about a single shelf or board on which items are placed.

Be sure to review the thread on estantería before you can consider this topic fully covered.

And if you call a shelf anything but "repisa" here they will either correct you or not know what you are talking about.
