I am really someone who has always turned toward more traditional furnishings.  However, I love this bookcase more than I thought I would and my neighbors who have seen it have been very intrigued, yes, intrigued that something like this actually exists and the price was a mere pittance.  Thank goodness I didn't unsubscribe when I first saw your e-mail and have since read about your up and coming business throughout the country or was it the world.  I don't care as long as you're in mine.  I know I'm gushing but I can't help it.  My friend had a bit of difficulty putting it together and ended up just looking at the picture on the box!  I have this in my living room.  I had originally been looking for an entertainment center and fell in love with this and another bookcase and piece of furniture that ties it all together for a different look altogether.
