Cold & modern is what I love. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 04:10:06 PM
What are these bookshelves worth to you? If *you* like them, and if there's nothing else that fits your requirements, and you're able to purchase them, I see no reason why you shouldn't.

Personally, I don't like the look of them; they're too cold and modern. I like warm wood effect bookshelves, gives them a more homey feel. But that's just me.


I need it to complete my room, and I don't want to buy something that isn't quite right. I'd rather wait a few more months to save, and then buy what I like. It's a major purchase that I've been gearing up for for a year.

I do have a few more options:

I like that it has champagne plating rather than titanium, but someone I asked had talked me out of it.

This one is ok, but it's MORE expensive.
