I'm a huge fan of this ladder bookcase.  I purchased two for our bedroom, one for both sides of our bureau/TV because we couldn't wall mount the TV so it looked strange to have artwork on the walls sort of behind it, yet I had all this empty space on both sides.  This was pretty much exactly what I was looking for; I didn't want a bulky bookcase, I wanted something sleek and simple.  I don't like the actual ladders that lean against the wall- they're a little too rustic for my taste.  These were easy to put together and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.  I would purchase them again.
