Librarian's Dream

Sometimes, you see a really cool and artsy piece of furniture and think, "wow, that looks awesome." You might even decide to purchase it. And then you get home and set it up, only to find that it really doesn't go well with all the other ordinary-looking stuff in your house.

6. WisdomTree

Why is there a girl up there? How did she get there?

7. Cardboard Bookshelf

Are the girl and the chair, with their red accents that match the bookshelf, included?

19. Yellow

I advise against cramming books on a shelf in this manner.

20. Bookshelf

The design my be creative but the name leaves something to be desired. And are those stairs behind it?

21. Ideas for the office

This appears to be a standard bookshelf.

22. Toto

Practicality concerns.

28. A bookshelf designed by Ron Arad

29. Wall of Books

Ceci n'est pas un book-shelf.
