I understand the concept behind angled shelves. There’s no reason they absolutely have to be parallel to the ground to hold things. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a lot (or any) big empty walls and extra room to hold odds and ends. I’m hoarder and I need more efficient use of space for storage, so these type of arrangements never appeal to me, no matter how artfully done they might be. This looks forced to me, and yes, everyone’s a critic. See Taylor Hamilton for more.

That’s a lot of stacking. Do you have to take all the books down in a pile to get the one you want? Or do you have to sort of shimmy it out and hope the books above it don’t fall? It’s not a comforting shelf.

yeah that person could have had 12 decks, 11 sets of wheels, and one set of trucks OR a shitty bookcase.
