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.

Baskets have been around since time immemorial. The stork brings a baby in a basket; the first settlers to the great Americas arrived in giant baskets; it’s very possible that the universe was in a basket before it exploded, or, if you will, banged big. A common, and as I read it, unfunny joke that is told around college campuses is all about someone who might be labeled “lazy” or “stupid”. This person would take Basket Weaving 101. Baskets. Laundry baskets. Grocery baskets. Collection baskets. Baskets abound. But today, I’m going to focus on 3 specific types of baskets. Don’t worry, SHELVES will appear here as well, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. First, let’s consider the Basket as DEATHTRAP:

This basket is usually a basket that has been designed for other purposes, but through a strange series of events, has become something entirely bad. Like, say, a magazine basket that harbors a giant tarantula that has a taste for human flesh. Or a hot air balloon basket that has caught the fiery remains of a bad morning out over wine country – and has converted itself into an express elevator to hell. This is the type of basket you don’t want any part of. Next, let us consider the Basket as WACKY CHILDHOOD FUN:

Easter wouldn’t be as Bunny-rific without the basket. The basket, in this case, is the perfect delivery device to bring borderline-lethal amounts of sugar and fake grass to children. Candy-colored and fun to look at, these baskets usually arrive only once a year, which is good, because calories. That childhood obesity issue is as sad as it is funny, but you don’t want any part of that, either. At least for the children. The poor, defenseless children, who need all the help they can get. A child who weighs 174 pounds in not is not wacky, nor is the child fun. But Easter is both wacky AND fun. Finally, lets consider the Basket as UNDERSHELF MESH:

Yes. Yes indeed. That’s a mesh basket, attached to a shelf. A SHELF. Shelves Blog. Whether you need more room in your closet, kitchen cabinets, or bathroom, this Undershelf Shelf Mesh Basket is a basket that is here to help. Especially if you have a shelf that needs the addition of a basket. This sleek basket slides easily onto the shelf, and guess what? You get instant storage space. That’s pretty cool. And this Undershelf Mesh Basket that I found on Stacks And Stacks is perfect, if you have shelf that you need to plus, as you would with a mesh basket that holds additional items. Perfection achieved. You’ll love the design, you’ll love the ease of use, and you’ll be given the opportunity to purchase the mesh shelf in either Small or large size. So, as you can see, baskets play a vital and robust role in today’s modern landscape.  And so on.

The Undershelf Mesh Basket.  Highly Recommended.

(NOTE TO READERS: The Author has never been to jail, does not condone going to jail, and hopes the majority of his readers are not currently serving time in the prison system.)

If there is anything worse than going to jail, anything at all, it’s probably going to jail and being placed inside a cell that has no shelves. Shelves on which to put your belongings. Assuming you have no contraband, most non-3rd-world prisons should allow you a few amenities such as books, cardboard jigsaw puzzles, and personal care items. Imagine for a moment, a dark moment, that the warden has provided no shelf for theses items. What then? Imagine still, you have a roommate in your cell. And they have items. Can you imagine the nightmare, if no shelving units are provided? All those items, no shelves, no luck. Obviously you should never have committed a crime in the first place, or at the very least paid for a better defense attorney, but now that you’re in a jail cell, trapped with no shelves, what is there to do? How can you get by? Shelves Blog reader Martin Burney has written to me many times about this very issue. (Martin was shot three times in the chest, recovered, and is now serving a life sentence in Massachusetts for attempted murder. That’s not a pretty story — but in the plus column, Martin is as obsessed with shelves as I am. Sometimes you have to look past the bad to see the good.) Well, Martin — and other unfortunates in adult correctional facilities the world over — I have the solution. Have a look at this fine Metal Wall Shelf from Stacks And Stacks.

It’s a triumph of design and simplicity, and your warden shouldn’t have problems with it: all-metal construction means that the shelf can’t shaved down into a shank, or used to tunnel out though a wall to undeserved freedom. And durable? You better believe it. This beast can hold up to 150 pounds, which is probably WELL OVER the amount of aforementioned personal items that you’ll be allowed, anyway. It’s convenient, easy to mount, and affordable. (Martin tells me he makes money from doing the laundry and working in the library, but it’s not much — and most of the prison economy consists of cigarettes and favors, anyway. I don’t think Stacks accepts cigarettes as a form of payment. Sorry, Martin. You’ll have to put on some extra hours cleaning jumpsuits.) For readers who aren’t in prison, I would also suggest this shelf — but maybe for the garage, or a home consisting of EXTREMELY modern and minimalist decor. Tough, classy, and easy to clean, the Metal Wall Shelf is what it says and does what it is. And so on.
