I love the idea of taking an easily available staple good and being able to customize it to make it more interesting/usable/applicable. The people at Ding 3000 have a few different variations on the Billy Shelf from Ikea. My favorite is the one that hikes Billy up on the left side to make all the books lean to the right, thus removing the need for bookends.

Striking bookshelves are modular and easily disassembled when necessary. And when you move, your books are already packed!

Here’s a bookcase for you that is relatively inexpensive and kinda neat-looking. A satin-finish steel frame gives this a modern feel without adding a modern price tag. That always makes me happy. Assembly is required, so have your toolbox handy when it arrives.

To be perfectly honest, when I first saw this, I thought, ” why would anybody need a floating-ish shoe rack?” (notice I said need and not want). Then the other night I came very close to tripping over a couple of silly shoes beside the front door. So, now I understand.

Available in two sizes; one that holds 6 pairs of shoes and also comes with a moveable mirror, or one that holds 3 pairs. Wall mounted, stainless steel.

I love this chest of drawers. It’s made of quickly growing bamboo, so that can make us all feel good about purchasing it. And another cool thing is that the drawers open with a push latch: press and they slide toward you.

What you see here is actually three units stacked on top of each other- so if you needed versatility in your modern storage needs this fits the bill just fine. The front panel has the rounded edges, but inside each shelf the compartment is square so you needn’t worry about your books and stuff not staying upright.

Made out of solid wood with a lacquered surface (matte finish).

Options/Finishes: Espresso (dark brown), White

each piece: 24″ wide x 10″ deep x 24″ high

Ordinarily, I would recommend putting a flat screen up on the wall without any use of furniture, but if you live in a very large space, such as a loft or warehouse, then something like this would do nicely to delineate between two areas.
Will accomodate flat screen televisions up to 60″. Available in three finishes: Teak, Cherry, and Espresso.

61″ W x 20″ D x 55″ H

Kinda fun, and definitely different from most of those ordinary shelves out there…for all your unordinary stuff. Available in green, espresso, or white.

Mounting hardware included
MDF with lacquer finish

The Units Collection allows you to configure a storage/display solution to meet whatever your needs are. The elements are available in different sizes, open or closed, on a chrome pedestal or on castors. Mueller furniture is handcrafted in steel sheet and available in multiple colors.

All elements come in two widths: 47.2 and 31.5

These are decent stackable “storage squares” for reasonable prices…Each Qube is available in burnt maple or espresso and is made with a sturdy laminate finish. The divider/shelf things are steel, so that’s kind of different and sturdy too. You could use them for all sorts of things: bathroom towels and stuff, organizing your office, living room, or the wine qubes for your dining room. And the Container Store says they’re easy to assemble.

Each cube: 26-3/4″ x 11-7/8″ x 26-3/4″ h
