DIY Bookcase (If You're a Builder, That is...)

They had help figuring out the dimensions of the pieces, and had a manufacturer cut the boards to the specs. Her husband, a builder, helped with the assembly, which took 16 hours.  

 

What do you think of the end result?

Neither would I!  I'd have a hard time getting up after having to sit on the floor to see what was on the lower shelves!

It's interesting, but I would not want it.

Makes me dizzy to look at it.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I think it is unique and fun, but wouldn't want it in my own home.

 

I think it would be especially fun for children and their books.

I like it, but I would be afraid it might make me dizzy.  Also, I wouldn't want to have to get a ladder to get some of the books off the shelves.

I think it's absolutely ingenious!  I am a right angle person (as opposed to circles and swirls, lol!).  So you can imagine what right angle boxes in a circle/swirl is doing to my brain!!!

 

I still love it but don't know if I'd be able to live with it and still think it's ingenious!!  Woman LOL
