  • Quality book tower at half the price of others

    I saw my first book tower in a retail store in black, and knew it was just what I needed, but it seemed very pricey. On checking Overstock I saw the same idea, but in silver grey instead of black, and at just over half the price. Now that I have it I realize that the color barely shows, and makes no difference. It was delivered in near record time. I assembled it myself, and it was quite easy, even though I had read a review that said it was difficult. Believe me, it's easy. I am very happy with the purchase and the transaction.

  • Decent copy of more expensive version

    I have been looking to get the vertical book shelf offered by stores such as DWR and Chiasso, but the cost + shipping surcharge was too much, in my opinion. I saw this version on Overstock recently and after reading the reviews, I ordered it immediately. Bottom line: It is a good quality product, but it lacks the same design aesthetic as the other offerings. It is not glossy powder-coated steel. Rather, it is textured steel with a light gray color. It also appears slightly more boxy and bulky as far as the footprint, which is larger. It only comes in one height; I would have preferred another 12-18 inches. Even so, it's a great buy for the price and $2.95 shipping, and once you cover it up with books, it mostly disappears.

  • Spine Book Tower

    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.

  • cool!!

    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.

  • Catchy

    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.

  • Beautiful and Great Quality

    I purchased the shelf to house my cookbooks in the kitchen, I did not want something too large or taking up a lot of space. This shelf is perfect for the job. I put a lot of heavy cookbooks on the shelf and it can handle it no problem. Very good quality.

  • Bookshelf is just as described

    I got this because I don't really have wall space for a bookshelf in here, but I keep accumulating books and magazines. This holds a lot of books and fits on one side of a wide archway we have between the living room and the den. Easy to walk up and scan the spines to pick out a book. It is not conventional looking or particularly attractive, but it fits an informal decor just fine. The metal is gray, and looks easy enough to scuff up and spray with any color you like. If I fill this one up, I will probably get another one.

  • A great way to store Books

    I already owned a competors, higher priced spined book tower. I wanted a match for it, but it wasn't in the budget! This is functional and an attractive way to display big picture books. The art on the covers of the book are displayed more on this unusal shelf and I really enjoy it.

Can this shelf be wall-mounted? Is the base removable? kwerling on Apr 6, 2013
Subscribe to Answers
Answer This Question

Thank you so much for your interest in the Spine Book Tower. The manufacturer tells us that it is wall mountable and the base is not removable but we all know that in America that this great country was built on things we were told we should and shouldn't do. The whole unit has to be assembled so if the base is just not put on then it is removable and you can do anything you want with your unit, it's yours and if you want it on the wall then it can be mounted on the wall. We hope this was helpful and have a great day. overstockcustomercare1 on Apr 12, 2013
