Review on πŸ“š Versatile Regency Flip Flop Folding Bookcase - Medium Oak, Perfect for Small Spaces and Portability by Steve Yang

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality nice finish

My home library has had an impressive array of wall to wall and floor to ceiling bookcases for many years, severely lacking in shelving space, didn't want to give more Books gone than I already had so I thought about getting an extra set of bookshelves. I also have a kitchen/breakfast area that has a long extension counter, presumably designed to accommodate several people on stools or high chairs in front of it. My husband and I have never found a use for this feature. Actually it was just a hazard as sometimes I forgot that part of the table top was over my head when picking something up off the floor or something and broke the back of my head getting up. In fact, the space under the tabletop extension, which is approximately 100 inches long, almost perfectly accommodates three Regency collapsible bookshelves measuring 34 inches high and 30 inches long. I attached one at each end and a third in the middle, leaving four and seven-eighths of an inch between the shells. (They can also be stacked across from each other and look right.) The top of each bookcase protrudes less than two inches from the bottom of the countertop, and there is only a 3/4-inch gap between them. I chose medium oak. Color because it goes well with my Merillat cabinets and hardwood floors. The slats on the back and sides of the drawers are obviously structural supports, but the back slats also keep the books from moving too far, and the side slats eliminate the need for books Holder. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. The visual effect is such that you can assume these bookshelves were part of the original structure of the house and I don't have to worry about banging the back of my head against the wall. Countertop extension never! As for the strength and durability of these items, only time will tell.
