I have a few bookshelves filled with books I love but I would not put them on display as shown in the picture, not for me.

Not for me.  I do like the arched French doors though.

Don't like this at all. Not at all functional. What happens in an earth quake?

Not for me, but if they were desperate for book storage I guess this is an option.

Not for me.  I don't need to be on a ladder to reach a book.  I can see some pretty greenery up there, tho.  How can anyone play that piano with the door right there?

I think it takes away from the beautiful arched doorway but then I'm not a book collector anyway.

very cute, and yes whimsical, but different and unexpected!

The look detracts from the beautiful door.

It’s different, and a way to save space, but I really don’t like this. As others posted, it really detracts from the beauty of the doors. The books become the focal point which IMO is not a good look.

It's certainly creative, but not practical....and I can picture the books falling down at random....
