      The National Shelf Organization Organization (NSOO) has standards and I’m sorry if you don’t agree with them. This video AND it’s flippant book shelf has been reported.

    Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves czcams.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

    My first thought, honestly, was "She's ****ing crazy!" But hey, I'm not the one doing all that work. And i admit it, I think it looks amazing. Aesthetic - nailed! I would totally want to spend time in that room. Kudos to you for having the creativity AND the energy to manifest it. Meanwhile, I too must find creative solutions to my current book shelf problems. In a nutshell, I have run out of room for all the new books I've purchased during the pandemic.

    There is something so comforting and cozy about the way these shelves look. They're beautiful but also kind of matte in a way that is really inviting. Rainbow shelves are also beautiful but I feel like they are too overwhelming for me to live with.
