Love this bookshelf modern meets geometric. Now i dont recommend this but i bought two and flipped one upside down so that i can get them facing each other. They really stunning and make a great impression on everyone that walks in the room. So u dont need to flip it also if built as is its very sturdy but if you try to flip one over it can come apart since its not meant to go that way. Nevertheless I love them like this and i cant wait until I finish the rest of my living room
