So why haven't you seen a review yet? My camera broke. I wanted to provide photos of the bookcase in my house but my camera broke and the cheap one be bought to replace it takes really bad photos most of the time.
Anyways, with the help of my mother's camera, I bring to you, the review.
*Although I received the bookcase for review from CSN Bookcases, the review is honest and in no way affected by how I received the item.
I received the 4D Concepts Hanging Corner Storage in Espresso to review (pictured top right.) You can see what it looks like with books on it below. I didn't exactly get the whole thing in the photograph as I was in a hurry and I forgot about the little princess heart hanging on the wall at the top but you get the idea.
It came in a small box as each piece was disassembled and laid flat. It wasn't as easy to put together as I've heard others say theirs were but it wasn't impossible. It took me 10 minutes to figure out which way the connected but actually connecting them was easy and just required a simple screwdriver. It was hanging the bookcase on the wall that was difficult. I had my father help me. I wanted it in a certain place so it didn't necessarily go into studs but it came with plastic anchors. I don't like electric drills so I helped line it up and he screwed the holes, put in the anchors and then screwed the bookcase to the wall.
I love it though. I chose it because I didn't have room for another one to sit on the ground. I wanted to make good use of my corner space. If you put more than a few books on it or a bunch of paperbacks, you do need bookends. My corner bookcase is over my couch so I was a little worried about the bookend falling off and hitting someone, especially since I'm using heavy brass ones. However so far it hasn't happened.You can put your books on the case in different ways. I started out with each shelf different to show you the different ways but that photo was taken with the now broken camera. By the time I got a different camera here I had rearranged the shelves. I have my book spines facing out one wall but you could face them the other way. However then you see the back of your outermost book whereas this way you see the front. You could also stack them but it didn't look good that way. I also tried fanning them out in a quarter circle like the shelf they sit on but it didn't look as good as I thought it would.
I'm very happy with my bookcase, it is keeping my to-be-reviewed books and some to-read books handy but out of the way. It sells for $34.99 + shipping and taxes at CSN Bookcases, the place to buy bookcases. They ship to Canada or the USA.
Thanks again to CSN Bookcases for allowing me the opportunity to review a bookcase.
