REK Bookshelf

In my opinion, there is nothing sadder than an empty bookcase (ok, I can think of a few things sadder). I've nearly filled all my current shelf space and taken to stacking books about the house in various piles in random locations until I have enough to fill at least half a new bookcase. The REK by Reinier de Jong is the perfect solution to such a predicament. "Book shelves rarely adapt to your collection of books and periodicals but here is one that does." The shelf is adjustable and provides compartments for all book sizes to insure that it always appears full. When you get more books, you just expend it. One word, brilliant!

My bookshelf{ves} is a chaotic mess. But I think I like it that way, something poetic about it.

But, anyway, that bookcase it pretty sweet. I kind of want one myself.

bookshelves filled with books are crack cocaine for me.

Feels like it must be powered by hydraulics. Awesome!

How great is this bookshelf and it collapses like IKEA packaging. I'm sure the price point is significantly more though :)
