I'm paying attention. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 07:12:15 PM


Or if they're not wood, they're going to be more industrial than stylish.

I like the Carter Continental one above the best with your current furniture actually (the one with the champagne plating). Why did you get talked out of that one?


I'm looking at it more, and I do like. Also, the Simplicity description focuses on its practicality and ease of assembly, while Carter Continental goes on about the aethetic appeal of the "opulent contrast between the two finishes." Even though with Simplicity, I get 2 pieces, I'm starting to lean towards Carter Continental now.


ETA: I know from what you've said in the past that you take your books very seriously too, both in how you treat them and how you want them displayed. Which is another reason you're more willing to spend more $$ on this than other people are willing to for bookshelves. That doesn't make it wrong for you to do so, it just helps explain why your price range is higher. I'm all about helping you justify buying these :D


I also really care about how my room looks. I'm not spending a lot on rent, but I want the inside to look polished and cool, to be very me.

I found your feedback to be very helpful.

They look nice, but there's no way I'd pay $950 for them, personally. Nate - 04/11/2009 04:54:50 AM 522 Views
i'd never pay that much for bookshelves. seriously. temeraire - 04/11/2009 06:25:31 AM 470 Views
Yes, by about a factor of 10. Tim - 04/11/2009 09:25:22 AM 498 Views
I don't think that cost $20 to make. Aeryn - 04/11/2009 03:55:57 PM 509 Views
Was it made in the US? Tim - 04/11/2009 04:52:07 PM 517 Views
Unless they are handmade, it probably is pretty close to that snoopcester - 04/11/2009 05:11:50 PM 494 Views
