I was trying to count the number of ways a person could uses shelves in the home, while cleaning out my shelf library, and I was deep in thought. There are two concepts that trouble me, while giving me peace at the same time. ONE: the fact that there is an UNKNOWABLE number of ways to use shelves. TWO: the fact that if you begin cleaning and organizing, THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO CLEAN. These two concepts share equal ground, and that ground is INFINITY. Infinity. It’s almost too hard a concept to wrap your mind around, a concept that would take an infinity to understand completely. But here we all are, trying to get by, everyday we go about organizing and finding new uses for shelves, while the great and all-consuming concept of INFINITY rests just out of sight. It’s always there. And it always will be. I’ll just have to accept that. But you know I won’t accept anything but the finest in shelves, and I’ve found just that at Stacks And Stacks.

This is infinity terrific Wall Shelf Slash Display Ledge from Stacks And Stacks. And besides the simple fact that it holds 50 pounds (50!), it comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes! A not completely, but ALMOST infinite number of choices! Look here: natural, white, dark cherry, black, and honey — that’s a variety of finishes, it is. Not to mention this shelf comes in your choice of lengths: 20 or 24 inches. And that’s really special. So if you, like me, are having trouble reconciling the nature of infinity and the universe itself, it’s nice to know that some things never change. Like the durable simplicity of a great shelf. And a great shelf this is. To infinity and beyond, and so on.

Often I’ll find myself looking at blank wall, staring actually, for hours on end, wondering how I can improve on it. To improve on it without overdoing it, mind you, without killing what makes a bare wall attractive in the first place. As I was staring at my living room wall this afternoon, it struck me that the wall needs support, in the form of a glass shelf. Then it struck me that as a matter of fact, the GLASS SHELF would need support in the form of metal hangers, to remain a hanging shelf. Then it struck me that I need support in the form of psychiatric counseling. But first things first, I need to find a glass shelf to fit this wall.

Perfect. After looking at shelves designed for garages, some for laundry rooms, some for kitchens, and some for the closet, I found the perfect wall shelf at Stacks and Stacks. It’s called the Glass Shelf with Metal Support, and it’s going to really add some dynamic flair to the blank wall. And functionality. This Glass Shelf is available with a Brushed Nickel or Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I neglected to point you in the direction of the Brushed Nickel version; Oil Rubbed Bronze is not well-suited for wall hangings. The Glass Shelf may slip. So be careful, home improvers, and enjoy this Glass Shelf, and your new non-bare wall.

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.

And until the end of days, it’ll make a great addition to your home or office! And so on.

Now that my board games are secured, I was taking a good long look at my garage on a whole. I live my life at an exceptionally high level of organization and cleanliness, but, to be fair, this garage is a disgusting mess. A disaster. Way too many boxes (albeit color-coded and stacked according to contents), power tools and automotive canisters organized by weight, National Geographic Magazines, and an array of paint cans containing the entire spectrum of Dutch Boy colors (just in case I need them). With all of that going on, I’m going to need some powerful shelving to beat back the clutter. And I found a winner over at StacksAndStacks.com.

In the past I’ve covered the best in shelving categories for the home, from the Garage to the Closet, the Bookcase to the Kitchen, the Laundry Room to the Wall. But what I’ve found here is Industrial. The Industrial Duty 5 Shelf Storage Unit. It’s a powerhouse, a sturdy dynamo, and it’s ready-made to meet the needs my overstocked garage demands. For me, the garage; for you, perhaps the office or home, because the Industrial Duty 5 Shelf Storage Unit will do it’s duty anyplace you need it to serve. Like all good modern shelving units, this tough customer features sturdy steel posts and beams with smooth, rust-resistant baked-on enamel finish. And they the treat particle board shelves. They do. And you’ll want that in a shelving system. Untreated shelves are the bane of shelving professionals, and critics like me: they should be outlawed. It holds up to 2400 lbs, and it assembles easily with rubber mallet in 30 minutes. (Ever wonder how many things you could DIS-assemble with a rubber mallet, in half that time? Me neither.) And that’s all it took to get my garage back to manageable. The Industrial Duty 5 Shelf Storage Unit. Highly Recommended.

(I also found this terrific Free Standing 4-Bike Rack, but that’s another story.)

They say winning isn’t everything. And that is true, but only to a point. Because sometimes you just win – and sometimes you win a trophy. (Losers tend not to win trophies, not only because contests seldom hand out trophies to losers, but because losers wouldn’t have the drive to win even if they won for losing.)

If you have any proficiency at winning, you’ve certainly racked up a few of these personal treasures in your day. Large, small, gold-plated or plastic, it really doesn’t matter – because you won. And there is nothing more uplifting than seeing the fruits of your victory up on a shelf. It’s almost as good as the actual moment you won, except you have the luxury to do it anytime you wish, without any effort.

Ah, the trophy shelf. It’s a time-honored tradition for winners both young and old. Any room of the home is perfect for a trophy shelf. Some winners actually have trophy ROOMS, with multiple shelves.

Well, I’m going to ask you to join the movement, sign the petition, and do whatever it takes stop what could be the worst measure Congress has ever voted on. Next week, they decide the fate of Measure S. 9035768 — THE MEASURE THAT WOULD MAKE LEGAL THE USE OF ANTI-GRAVITATIONAL DEVICES! To make cars fly. For jet-packs. To lift Costco pallets. To assist U-Haul customers. And to COMPLETELY DESTROY THE SHELVES MARKET. This measure would effectively END the need for shelves. Why would you need shelves when you could just FLOAT your books, or groceries, or laundry? Why use shelves when there is no gravity to allowing shelves the dignity to do what they do best? Why indeed. They would be as outdated as 8-Tracks, as pathetic as Pagers, as useless as TV Antennas. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re looking at the systematic destruction of shelves and the shelf-related industry. It would cast Shelves Blog into the horrible pit of quaint parachronisms, to die a death with the Yo Quiero Taco Dog, Break Dancing, and Dane Cook. So please, I’m implore you, get out there, do anything you can, ANYTHING, to stop them from voting yes on this abomination. We CAN’T be allowed to have access to anti-gravitational equipment, certainly not with the ease of buying an iPhone. This technology would spread like California wildfire, and before you know it, the only place you’d find shelves in in a Natural History Museum — BEHIND the glass. Well, there is still time, time to stop them from making perhaps the biggest blunder of modern times, and time to head over to Stacks and Stacks to purchase what could be the last shelf you’ll ever need. Like this awesome Pair of Display Wall Ledges in White.

How much wood was used by NASA in the last 30 years?

No kiddin.

And so on.

The Pair of Display Wall Ledges in White. Highest Possible Recommendation.

With all good things, there is dark side. Even the best of things has a dark side. For my money, there is no greater invention on this earth than shelves. I love them, and can’t imagine getting through a day without them. But image being short, or wheelchair bound, or 6 years old — and you wanted something form the top shelf. Ooops. Now shelves aren’t so great. Now shelves have become the enemy. Now you wished the item you wanted down had never come in to contact with that high shelf, or at the very least, you had never been born, at least born small, or born to use a wheelchair, or too young to be tall. Nothing in this world is worse than an itch you can never scratch, or being short. Or having no shelves. Or having shelves, but not being tall enough to reach them. Thank goodness science is drawing up plans to release a shelf with an elevator-type set-up, pitch-perfect for moving shelves up and down for the vertically challenged. It’s going to change things for the better, and it can’t come soon enough. What can really change your living room for the better, though, is this fine Glass Shelf - 24-inch Wall-Mounted Shelving from our pals at Stacks and Stacks!

Let’s be clear. Books are dumb. They really are a waste of time. Not just because the internet has rendered them useless and boring (you too, newspapers, ha-ha), but because on a whole, they are uninteresting, slow-moving, flat, dull, use-your-own-imagination time-killers. But, having said that, I defend books, for one reason and one reason only: Bookshelves. That’s right. Bookcases. Shelves for books. Glorious. Incredible. Wonderful. It is SOOOOO GREAT to be able to have shelves and books just lined up on them — organized, classified, categorized in order — by title, author, or whatever wacky system you may utilize. Bookshelves. Bookcases. Wonderful. So while I’m 110% for DVDs and CDs and BluRays, I’m about 32% for books. And we’re speaking here about books on shelves. Not books in general. Books in general I would give about 6%, and that’s just because I love those great joke books. I admit, I have more than a few of them. Call it a weakness for “Dead Baby” jokes, but alas, I do have books. Joke books with Dead Baby jokes. I would use my favorite Dead Baby joke here, the one about “How many dead babies does it take to fill a shelf?” — but it’s probably not appropriate. But what is very appropriate is to tell you about a really humdinger of a shelf, a BOOKshelf, that would be terrific for books, joke books, baby books — any kind of books you can imagine. Let me tell you about the Bookshelf - 2 Shelf from Stacks and Stacks. Prepare to be impressed.

It’s almost too good to be true: both strong steel exterior and shelf construction together with a solid fiberboard back, making these bookshelves the best value on the market today. Attractive, plastic snap-in radius corners make assembly easy and add to the overall strength of these bookcases. Shelves adjust at 1″ intervals during assembly. Generous 12″ deep shelves accommodate 3-ring binders and large publications. Shelf count includes fixed bottom of bookcase. You can choose printed steel in Medium Oak or baked enamel finishes in Black, Gray or Sand, if the spirit moves you. Comes in a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 shelf unit. Easy assembly with quick-lock fasteners, which make this a triumph for the short and the tall among us. Perhaps one day evolution will weed out the short, and the tall will no longer be tall as there will be nothing to compare them to. Until that day, we will have step-ladders. And whiners. And so on.
