January 15th, 2010 — Classic Shelves, Do It Yourshelf: Shelves for You, Eyepoppingly Cool Shelves, Floating Shelves, Glass Shelves
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.

There are Glass Shelving with Stainless Steel Cables and there are Cable Corner Shelves. And sometimes, just rarely, there are Cable Corner Shelf Glass Shelving with Stainless Steel Cables. Now, as long as we’re discussing things that are special, things that are rare, I think we need to discuss the special and rare find that was found last year off the coast of the Paopicca Islands in Beruta. Here, under 22,000 feet of water, discoverers discovered a strange stone tablet, which at first glance looked to date back to the Platomopeptaimain Era. No so. Upon further study at Canceworth university in Motan, scientists and researchers found that this tablet was in fact not of this earth. The stone-like composition’s only distant cousin would be moon rock, and even then, distant cousins. No, this tablet was not of this earth, and it changed modern science and religion forever. As you no doubt know, the design of this strange stone tablet is instantly recognizable the world over, and now it has been immortalized in this outstanding Cable Corner Shelf Glass Shelving with Stainless Steel Cables from Stacks and Stacks dot com.

I think it’s safe to say they hit a home run. By taking that crazy space design and transferring it to a shelf, they’ve created magic. Clear glass corner shelves give run-of-the-mill humans many beautiful storage options, in any room they see fit. Perfect for storing toiletries in the bathroom, displaying collectibles in the living room, and providing a place for plants and other items throughout their homes! And unlike the rock tablet, the Cable Corner Shelf mounts with only 1 screw and holds up to 50 lbs! Each glass shelf is 3/8″ thick with a polished edge, another innovation — making the shelf far more interesting than the tablet. It also features stainless steel cable and aluminum fittings, and includes mounting bracket. Take that, space rock. You can add style and function to your home with this beautiful glass corner shelf. What can you do with space tablet? Not much. And so on.

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.

Since I was a young boy, let’s say 2, no, let’s say 1, I’ve loved shelves and shelf organizing. They are my life. My mission. So many people here on earth wander aimlessly, not knowing their reason for being. Suckers. For me it’s simple. Thanks to the miraculous invention of the common shelf, I will have a purpose in my life, until my life ends. And when it does, I have left specific instructions to Jennifer, my sister, to place my cremated remains into an urn — and place that urn onto a shelf. And there I will sit, for as long as my relatives carry on, hopefully passed down through the ages. Resting on a shelf. It will be a just reward for my lifetime spent in service of the shelf. I often wonder where and when my life will come to a close, if I will have done enough organizing, if I have spread the word about shelf organizing to enough people, and what type of shelf I will end up on. These are deep, deep thoughts — but necessary ones. I enjoyed Cremation Urns Dot Net’s take on the subject: “Go with your heart.” Radical, but correct. They speak very highly of keeping urns on shelves, and give helpful examples in their “Options for display inside the home” section. Now, no one can control the future, but if I could actually chose the shelf in which to be deposited, I would definitely chose this BLOMUS Wall-Mounted Glass Shelf from the website Stacks and Stacks.

It’s a stylish way to spend the afterlife, and having lived a stylish life, that’s the afterlife for me. This Wall-Mounted Glass Shelf is a sleek wall-mounted glass shelf unit that gives you functional storage and display options. This frosted glass shelf is accented by stainless steel mounting - which makes it pitch-perfect ideal in the bathroom for towels and toiletries, in the bedroom for accessories, or in any room for collectibles or supplies. Or my relatives wall, for my urn and earthly remains. But, of course, more importantly than all of the functionalities, this shelf is classy. It’s a reflection of me, actually, and it’s a good fit. I’ll have to pass that info on to Jennifer soon, because you never know how much time you have left. And so on. Sometimes.

Sometimes, you need to call into question the fine art of naming objects. The ones that are locked in, like Banana, or River, or Tree, we can do nothing about. These items were named millions of years ago. But what about more modern names? Like when a company decides to name a superior, dynamic and contemporary shelf something that just doesn’t fit? Look at this incredible Floating Glass Wall Shelf I found at Stacks and Stacks. What comes to mind when you look at it?

Take a close look. Look carefully at its fine tempered glass; its elegant silver painted metal clips; its smooth pedestal platform. What springs to mind? If you said “peach”, you’d be crazy. As crazy as the creators of this impeccable, amazing glass floating wall shelf. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY NAMED IT. They somehow think this stylish beauty in some way resembles a peach. Poor job, fellas. Very poor. To be fair, I’m not too excited by my creators naming me Richard Parker, but I don’t look like a peach, either.

Stacks and Stacks wisely chose NOT to call this masterpiece a “peach”. They correctly label it a Floating Wall Shelf with Double Clip Support. Seems to fit a little better, eh? No question. And let’s not forget that this floating wall shelf features glass that is .31″ thick. Temper the fact that it was named “peach” with the fact that it features .31″ tempered glass. Alright, I know you’ve been thinking it. And I’m with you. Let’s come right out and mention the obvious — this Floating Glass Wall Shelf looks nothing like a peach. It looks like the U.S.S. Enterprise. And so on.

December 23rd, 2008 — Cable Shelves, Glass Shelves

We’ve all seen them. Suspension bridges. Bridges where the main weight-bearing elements are hung beneath suspension cables. It’s a tried and true triumph of physics and design, and the basic principle behind the mighty suspension bridge has now been miniaturized. Thankfully, mercifully, and I should add, innovative-ly, the technology is being utilized for SHELF HANGING purposes. Safe, secure, stylish — I have to say I am pleasantly surprised to see that while the basic and timeless hallmarks of the wall shelf remain intact, a bold new level of visual interest has been achieved. Well done. Very well done.

CABLE SHELF BRACKETS. There they are, packaged and ready to go. This cutting edge technology has now been made available to the general public, and can be ordered via our friends at STACKS AND STACKS. The BRACKETS are at once modern and timeless, and are able to accommodate any shelf from 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick shelf. (Glass works best. Tempered glass even better.) Needless to say, the cables are tough, durable, and ready to work. How tough? Stainless steel with aluminum fittings tough. The BRACKETS can support up 100 pounds if installed correctly into a wall stud, depending on the style of shelf you use.
If, for some reason, you don’t have the prerequisite glass shelves handy, please don’t fret. Once again, the team at STACKS AND STACKS have come to the rescue. Available now: RECTANGULAR GLASS SHELVES that come complete with the CABLE SHELF BRACKETS. Everything you need, all in one place. (Which also could be said for STACKS, but there’s no reason to call attention to the obvious.) Highly Recommended.

Wedge shapes are part of the natural world. We come in contact with them each and every day. Imagine your life without them – no pizza slices, no pie.


A wedge shape is not only an integral part of the world’s geometry, it is a delightful way to bring a shelving option to a corner that lacks pizzazz. A wedge shape is a great way to maximize empty space, a space exactly like a corner. And it’s the wedge shape that fits the corner perfectly, as if the wedge was made specifically for the corner. Wedge, meet corner. Corner, meet the amazing Floating Corner Shelf.

If you enjoy a shelf constructed of delightful tempered glass and tough metal, you’ll enjoy this masterpiece. Here at ShelvesBlog, we find the “floating” design to be the most eye-catching of all wall shelves. They’re strong, yes. They hold anything a regular shelf can, sure. But by giving the impression of “floating”, they challenge your perceptions of gravity. It’s an illusion, of course. This Floating Corner Shelf is a master of illusion.
If your home has the zest of modern décor, and you’re in the market for shelves, I would say it is an absolute must to consider the Floating Corner Shelf. Not only is it terrific looking, not only glass, not only “floating”, but it’s a wedge. Wedge shapes are part of the natural world. Make this Floating Corner Shelf part of your world. Recommended.
