I know, I'm sorry...
I wrote that after 2 martini's and I was a little more blunt that my usual level of blunt. My ire on the subject is not directed at those for whom english is not a native language. But lately I've been quite annoyed by the poor quality of english that is spoken and written by native speakers. It's as if the internet is destroying communication versus improving it.
My apologies, please carry on...

Olive, please, instead of apologizing, I think instead it is best to try to blame Al Gore for everything. I find the request on DA to identify the self unit versus the shelf unit a very instructive one.
All the new empty screamers only remind me of Cobain, while ruining my tweeters. Thank god for martinis.

I've just been looking at these shelving systems and it strikes me that these people have nothing no books on the shelves. That's awfully plebian. Do they only read design magazines, deposited in special magazine compartments of a nice coffee table? 🙂

Ya know, Lit up?
That's a problem I've noted with shelving units for a long time. Shelving is for storage but it seems to never get used that way.
I'm just as guilty, I have a BluDot Chicago unit that I intentionally used display of my Japanese testubin teapot collection. That's all I use it for. My book are stored behind doors in a closed shelving cabinet.

I have several "self units"....somehow, despite my best efforts, they always get loaded full of my stuff. Interestingly, these units are the one area of my home that are constantly changing and in flux. I guess I need to stop buying things.

OK, bentply
enough now...I apologized and explained myself. Reposting my every spelling error does not contribute anything other than to attempt to annoy me and prove you're more perfect than I am.

The Self Shelf
oddly, the "self shelf" is an existing product. It is a bracket in book- disguise, to create the impression of floating book storage. It was launched a couple of years ago.
.. but I prefer jesgord's 8 selves on shelves. Jesgord, are those things on the top shelves vintage wooden clocks ? They look very interesting.

The wood items on the top shelves are Evelyn Ackerman wood carvings. Examples are below

Are you talking
about Jesgord's condom holders by Lagardo Tackett? He swears he puts his loose change in them, but I think Jesgord is just a VERY busy guy.:)

Also, Olive
you will be happy to know that Scout managed to spell shelves correctly when he posted them for sale on ebay this morning.
