Wow, just look at that perfectly ROUND bookshelf! Devastatingly awesome, in both design and execution. Trust me, when I saw it in the German Shelving Magazine “Kazlooster-Shalven”, I had to have it all any price. Unfortunately it’s not yet available, as the design has yet to share the plans with his investors. You know the story: genius inventor, blah-blah, can’t handle “reality”, flies too close to the sun, yadda and such as. Who cares about this German fellows mental state, I just want to be able to purchase his creation. Ah, well. in the meantime, 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 all of us. Perhaps one day we will see the perfectly round bookcase hit the market. And trust me, when we do, I let you know. And so on.

Look out video game fans.  Your prayers have been answered by the Shelf-Gods. Some really delightful designers have finally figured out how to harness the dazzling excitement of Russia’s famous video game TETRIS an refashion it into the rigid, purposeful structure of a shelf. Modern, so modern. But is it art?  Modern art, while sometimes bizarre and creepy, is also space-age and, in a word, modern. Modern! You have to take the good with the bad, just as in life: for every masterpiece like the one pictured above, you have to deal with a kooky wacko like Warhall. But it’s okay, because sometimes, when great ideas like modern art combine with the glorious simplicity of the shelf, something happens that is nothing short of magic. Magic! I was surfing the site called Stacks and Stacks, looking specifically for modern works of art in their shelves sections, and just look at what I found. In one word: perfection. In four words: Suchow Reversible Display Shelf. Don’t let you eyes fool you, this shelf is real, and is modern, and looks like this amazing modern art painting. Amazing.

The great charm of this unbelievably versatile Suchow display shelf is many. Many. It’s unique because it can be viewed from both sides, thus serving as a room divider as well! Imagine! Furniture placement can be so limited due to unsightly furniture backing; however, with this display rack you can admire collectibles from both sides! Modern! This display unit also makes a lovely baker’s rack or bookshelf. Lovely! Modern! Practical storage of items such as books and dishes can be stored; or decorative vases and sculptures can be placed on the shelves for admiration of both sides. That’s terrific! The rack is constructed of solid Chinese Basswood, with a black lacquer finish and two drawers the open on either side. The irregularity, or, dare I say MODERN design of the display shelves completes the piece’s modern theme! And how. 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.)
