5 out of 5 starsMagnificent! n nI've literally been looking for the perfect book shelf for years, and with this, I've found it! Book shelves (particularly large ones) tend to either be soulless hulking boxes or ridiculously ornamented. This design is extraordinarily elegant, visually very 'clean', and in spite of its sheer size (and striking good looks) doesn't overwhelm a room the way a traditional bookcase its size would. It's simply sheer class, from top to bottom. n nThe finishing of the wood is unusual; simply planed smooth rather than sanded, which gives a more natural look and feel to the wood. It's nice. Caleb has an interesting vision; modern designs with traditional crafting. n nAssembly was easy; for each section, the top and bottom shelves screw into the side frames to hold everything together, while the rest of the shelves float. The top frame can (and should) be screwed to the wall. The screws in the shelves are deeply hidden (tucked into counter-sunk pockets on the undersides), so there's nothing to disturb the lines of the piece; no showing hardware! n nI had some concerns about the safety of shipping, but everything came packed so securely in thick cardboard armor that I think it would have survived terrorist attack, never mind mere clumsy delivery people. n nCaleb was great to work with all the way through, quickly answering any questions and providing good advice on finishing options, etc. n nSince it was a special order, it took about two months from placing the order until it was finished and shipped, but the wait was well worth it. n nIf you're eyeballing this shelf, give in to temptation. You won't regret it! n
