Have you ever had the need for a bookcase in your home? Everyone certainly has, but how about a book case that can be broken down in mere seconds, transported, and then reassembled with ease? Yes, it’s possible, and I’ve discovered how.

The world of folding bookcases was unknown to me, perhaps it is to you. But once you research the incredible benefits of a terrific “folder”, you’ll be amazed you hadn’t heard of them sooner. Everyone should consider adding a folding bookcase or two to their homes! I selected a classic 4 tier corner bookcase for my condo, and it’s worked wonders to add visual flair and intrigue to my standard, run-of-the-mill decor. It actually worked so well, I’ve decided to use them in every room in the house. I’m creating a library comprised of folding bookcases!

Folding Bookcases

They are so strong! My 3 tier folding bookcase, which I purchased at Stacks and Stacks at a very reasonable price, is constructed of bamboo, which is just great. It looks like regular wood, but it’s just really so much better. What is so great about collapsible, folding bookcases is that they are always generally readily available in many different colors, and constructed of many different materials, perfect for all the different rooms in my home!

Next, installation! It’s incredibly easy. When I installed my folding bookcase, I thought it would fall apart — how could something that is folded flat ever become a bookcase that could carry my have tomes and noels — but it did. Boy did it! In fact, you’re free to place anything you want on these powerful bookshelves, from houseplants to picture frames to candles! The options are limitless!

I did not think it would be possible, but I added a folding bookcase to my home!

You can too.

Folding Shelves

Last time I moved, I had all my stuff shipped freight across the whole country. After three days sleeping on a yoga mat at my old place, a week in a tiny hotel room with no kitchen and three more days on the floor in my new apartment, I was yearning for peace and comfort in familiar surroundings.

When my things finally arrived, I didn’t care that I had to unpack and organize for hours on end, I just wanted to recreate that tranquil harbor I had back in New York. Unfortunately, some things didn’t make it in one piece. I suspect they had my stuff come on a six-horse carriage over the mountains, through the rocky deserts and across a few rivers.

It took two weeks, you know. Of course, I had shipping insurance, but those guys were sly. They specifically listed all particle board items as not covered due to “inherent weakness of materials.” That took care of my now three-legged computer desk, my cracked entryway table and my two bookcases, which were completely destroyed.

So much for getting a break on shipping costs.

I was mostly devastated about the bookshelves, because they had tons of storage space and once looked pretty sleek. I soon realized that I was definitely going to move out of this always cold and damp apartment in no more than a year, so I needed to find a solution to the moving issue once and for all.

I did some research and decided to opt for collapsible furniture made of solid wood. While big wooden dining tables, armoires and futons would generally cost an arm and a leg, things like folding shelves were refreshingly affordable at Stacks and Stacks and still looked like a million bucks. I now appreciate the ease with which I can rearrange my living room without having to ask anybody for help. I also love the fact that I finally have some quality pieces to my name. Last but not least, when the time comes to move again, the experience will be a lot more pleasant.

Are you like me, with a residential garage that is filled the the brim with clutter, detritus, riffraff, miscellany, various Christmas ornaments, and boxes of newspaper? Your garage should be pruned, organized, codified and harmonized as soon as possible. The myriad of boxes are not going to magically store themselves.

Which brings us to shelves.

I created a new system for myself, in the interest of policing a garage that has gone beyond the pale in terms of stagnating boxes, and I’d like to share it.  I call it, quite simply, “stacking, packing, and racking”.  Feel free to use this discipline to help yourself out in a classic garage-related storage space quandary.

The first rule of “stacking, packing, and racking” is make sure you have a proper vessel for the items you intend to organize.  It is sheer folly to attempt a re-arrangement of clutter, either cursory or in-depth, without a proper containment unit, a final resting place if you will, for the aforementioned clutter.

4 Shelf Steel Storage Rack

Trust me, after my experience this weekend, the very best solution is to purchase a rationally priced 4 shelf steel storage rack. I ordered one from Stacks and Stacks, easily constructed the item using the simple instructions, then began regulating my overpopulated garage.

I have to tell you, this storage rack is an unyielding dynamo, a real steel triumph of power and rational self-interest. It won’t bend to the confines of an over-stocked wall, nor buckle under the weight of innumerable boxes.  With each individual shelf capable of shouldering a weight capacity in the range of 800 pounds, you can certainly bet your bottom dollar this unit is going to set your clutter straight.

I used a personal philosophy called “stacking, packing, and racking”, found an honestly amazing steel storage rack, and perfectly organized my garage.

You can too.

I read an article today that chilled me to the bone. It froze me with fear. It covered me with a frost of dread. It turns out all of man’s innovations like chimney smoke, factories and gasoline are ruining the environment. All of these innovations are melting the polar ice caps. The actual ice that makes up the north and south poles. These ice shelves will then raise the ocean level, killing us all. After the water rises, and dry land becomes the most precious commodity on the planet, bands of thieving, dangerous nomads will sail the globe, attacking the survivors. It will be a living hell, an unbearable living nightmare, a nightmare in which the living envy the dead. We as humans will have effectively ruined the very place we were born, destroying our place in the universe forever. The good news is that until then we can still order shelves for the home, shelves not unlike these terrific deluxe 4-level floating wall shelf from Stacks And Stacks.

Forget all that doom and gloom — go ahead and make a bold statement! This amazing shelving unit is constructed of sturdy northern hardwoods, the very hardwoods that will disappear when seas rise. This display shelf offers simplistic design while providing a space-saving solution for collectible and photo display. It’s basically a nic nac shelf is that is attractive and functional at the same time, giving you the best of both worlds! Spaces in between the shelves are of differing sizes so you can display anything from small figurines to hardcover books in the same convenient area. And as long as you still have a home with walls, it can safely hold a total of 25 lbs. Best of all, you can order the unit in either Unfinished wood or these killer finishes: Natural, Walnut, White, Dark Cherry, Black, Chocolate, Honey and Mahogany! And until the end of days, it’ll make a great addition to your home or office! And so on.

How many broken New Year’s Promises are floating out there right now? Broken, forgotten, failed. How many pertaining to the generic but absolutely essential act of “house cleaning? How many poor souls tried to achieve basic organization, even a rudimentary cleaning and dusting routine, and came up with zero? So many, I’m afraid. So very many. It’s heartbreaking, sad, and ultimately needless. I can show you, in 3 simple steps, how to not only keep your home clean, but possibly bring much needed discipline and order to your life on a whole.

1. Finish the Job, No Matter What. Cleaning the home, especially the closet, takes a commitment to excellence, and the will to succeed. It isn’t going to be easy, but through mental toughness, raw determination, and brute force, you can tackle any mound of dirty laundry; any mountain of 12 year old bills; clutter. You must lock in. You must not give up. You must continue until every last unclean corner is dealt with. This is war.

2. Never Be Weak. Your mind is going to play all kinds of tricks on you. Don’t listen to it. It’s going to make you think you’re tired; that there are more pressing matters somewhere on the internet; that a new episode of Bones starts in five. Nonsense. Your house is filthy, and it must be cleaned. There is only you. All that matters is you and the mess. The mess you made. Are you weak? Don’t be. The mess isn’t weak, I assure you.

3. Have fun with cleaning! People always forget to let a little sunshine into their lives… SMILE! While you mop the floor, you can sing a song; while you organize boxes, you can dance (carefully, depending on box weight). Have fun! Always remember that cleaning is a great way to burn extra calories and have a great time moving around the house. And the best part? When you finish, there will always be the promise of more cleaning to come!

A great way to implement your new skills and respect for a clean home is to make a wise investment in a superior closet shelving system (you could go after Kitchen Shelves, or Laundry Shelves, even Garage Shelves, but I’d say right out of the gate, the Closet is most important.) One such system is available as we speak from Stacks and Stacks. This Wooden Closet System has everything you need to not only organize, but stack the odds in your favor for a clean, mess-free future. Look at the luxury! 100% wood, available in maple and mahogany finish! It’s a closet organization system that’s elegant and refined — and believe me, after you get your home in shape, you’re really going to appreciate this type of grace and charm. The shelves measure 12″ deep; excellent for storing and organizing. What else? Get ready: Three 12″ x 24″ shelves, Three 12″ x 72″ shelves, Five Wardrobe Bars, 9 Bar Spacers, 4 Angle Brackets, and All Hardware Included. You really can’t go wrong. And you shouldn’t. Time is of the essence…
