Wrap Around Corner Shelves

wilma — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 19:06:21 GMT

What do you think?

I think it’s ok. It works in a modern or contemporary space. I think open shelving is more difficult to keep dust free and also more prone to accidentally knocking items over & off the shelves. I still prefer traditional built-ins, bookcases, & bookshelves.

I really like how it looks, but I agree you would really have to try to keep it dust free, and that would require dusting every couple of days, I bet.

Definately not for kids or grands. Looks dangerous to me actually to every age, especially at a party. I bumped my leg on the sharp corner just looking at the picture.

I really like it a lot. Especially the paint color instead of the usual white wall. Wouldn't like having to dust all that though.

Probably wouldn't work with cats in the house.

That would be a prime spot for dropping off clutter in my house, so no.

The house I grew up in had a supportative wall like that that seperated the kitchen and dining room. My mother had someone put a counter at bar height around it. Then she bought kitchen bar stools. We did not have an eat in kitchen and this was a great solution.

Love it! Like the color of the wood contrasting with the wall color.

I can picture my boys 🐈🐈 running and playing on these shelves!

Interesting concept

Looks like a cold room to me... I guess this isn't for me.

It's just Ok for me.

The room looks like a finished basement IMO.

Kind of cool in that particular space (which I don't love.)

Like but don't love it. After awhile rows and rows of shelving filled with books and trinkets just appear to be clutter to me.

I like it a lot, in spite of it being hard to tend to. Don't think it would work in my house. I hate dusting.

Creative use of space and I like the modern look. I can see this in finished basement area.

It's not something I would want in my house. I prefer a cleaner look where things are out of sight inside cabinets or inside closed cases away from the dust.

To many shelves. A lot of dust. When I see any room now I think of th dusting involved. It's my age for sure.
