Spine Book Tower

Rating

I always wanted one of these to store those "look at books" that we usually put on the coffee table, but the towers that I saw were always too expensive for my budget. It takes up so little floor space and stores so many books. I was a little concerned when I saw the five-pound per shelf limit but the heaviest books are on the base and everything is fine. It was easy to assemble and my friends rave over the "book sculpture" in the living room.

I have been eyeing these spine bookcases all over the Internet. Many companys and manufacturers offer them in a ton of price ranges, most of them at least 60 to 80 dollars more than here. I bought this and placed it in my bedroom. I am very satisfied. It took my husband about 8 minutes to assemble and he had no problems whatsoever. All pieces were completely straight and perfect. The shelf holds a lot of books for the small footprint size. I would recommend this to my friends, that is if they don't already die wanting one when they see it. It's so much better than those cheap compressed pieces.

I purchased this book tower and received it within 48 hours. It was very easy to assemble and looks great. The base and spine are very sturdy which allowed me to fit 65 books. It fits very nicely in a corner at the top of my stairs that would normally be unused space.

I love this book tower. I have a space between two windows that would have been useless, instead I was able to get over 50 books in that space!!! It looks very modern, it's strong and very sturdy. Other stores carry a VERY similar piece for more than twice the price.The assembly is easy but there are a lot of screws (tool included). Also you will need a long area as it has to be laid down to attach the base.Mine had arrived damaged during shipping, I was able to assemble it while waiting for the replacement part and now it's good as new. I have to say this is pretty typical of overstock, they really resolve problems well. I've been buying from them for a while and have had either good experiences, or problems that got fixed, but never a problem that wasn't fixed.

Love it! Make sure you understand how tall it is. As another reviewer mentioned it's a little shorter than I anticipated but once filled with books it looks amazing. All my guests are perplexed and intrigued by this unique book shelf. I bought one but plan on buying another to create two seemingly precarious towers of books aside my sofa. Great price for such a distinct piece.
