Jen S. asks: “Have you ever noticed that most bookends are really ugly? I think I’ve finally found a pair that I like, but the whole category of furnishing is due for a revamp. Or maybe truly stylish people don’t use them?”
These bookshelves sure are stylin’.

Hard to pick a favorite. Love the Opus– it has some whimsy without losing its practicality– and no bookends needed!

Opus is tres groovy. We have the Index (2nd item in 2nd row) and it is great; goes across D’s entire study. Of course, there’s no back, which is a pain for books, but good as a room divider if somebody was so inclined. Pricey, but we got the floor sample! Also have the wall pocket (2nd item in 1st row) – incredibly useful! OK, this is getting silly, but we also have the orange cubits (8th row) for our little orange loving guy – very cute but cubes are sort of limiting. And I love the IKEA Bergsbo – got some on Craig’s List in black. Yes particleboard, but quite sleek, and the glass doors are a nice touch. How do you feel about the Blu Dot Chicago? I think it would look good in your apt. You can stack books flat on the empty space in between the shelves…
