Review on Winsome Wood Leo Shelving: Small and Large Espresso Shelves for Stylish Storage by Detra Carter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fantastic, beautiful, functional

I'm a book geek. I love books and I love looking at them and presenting them in a functional and beautiful way. These bookshelves are great. I bought two of these items, three interior shelves, a 4 inch version. I assembled them (very easy; now that I've collected a few, I can assemble one from a box to a full bookshelf in 5 minutes or less). I liked the 2 versions with 3 shelves so much that I bought 3 versions with 2 shelves. Happy again. I've now bought an additional 2 3-shelf versions (complete and I'm happy with them) and 7 SEVEN! three versions of the Regal (2 assembled, 5 on the way), and I'm considering buying a few taller, thinner versions of the tower. I have always had many books and bookshelves but they are very attractive, well built, beautiful and designed to hold books large and small, curios, trinkets and anything you wish to display. Aesthetically, they're a really good balance between the essential and the serious, without being closed off and stuffy. This isn't steel-framed minimalism that's cold to the touch, nor is it a pretentious Oxford library. It's a wonderful balance. You are fantastic. I will upload pictures of them when the room is ready for people's eyes. And, Winsome, if you're listening, your product is great, and I'm wondering if you have a buy 14 get one free policy?
