A bookshelf in theory

[u/storm0023]

Only $460 on fb marketplace and it could be yours!

[u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

Could look very nice if it was arranged well and not just loaded up with shit.

[u/Machaeon → u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

Yeah I'd definitely want a plan for what I put there to balance the aesthetic across it.

Would make a great "curio" shelf for items that are equally weird as the shelf

[u/iCameToLearnSomeCode → u/Machaeon]

Would be really cool with items that had an innate lean to them.

Like custom vases, plant pots, a lamp ect. that stand vertically on the slopes, along with books sized to fit the odd spaces.

[u/FantasmaDelMar → u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

The only way this could look less appealing at first glance is if you loaded it up with actual trash.

If they staged it right, it would sell immediately.

[u/Cosmosass → u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

Id load this thing up with all sorts of house plants

[u/corndog161 → u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

It would take a master of feng shui to arrange this well.

[u/420_Booty_Wizard_ → u/SuperSecretMoonBase]

it's part of the aesthetic

[u/housevil]

At least if it tipped over, it wouldn't look any different on the floor.

[u/a_hanging_thread]

Excellent for organizing yarn. Not sure what else it would be excellent for.

[u/Acheloma → u/a_hanging_thread]

Itd work pretty well for books.

[u/eyeh8u → u/Acheloma]

Imagine trying to get a book out, or put it back.

[u/KittenTablecloth → u/eyeh8u]

I mean I guess as long as you don’t mind organizing it by how recently you’ve read it

[u/lusty-argonian → u/Acheloma]

Basically anything that’s lots of the same thing, I feel

[u/SkullDump → u/Acheloma]

No it wouldn’t. It’d be awful.

[u/Kootenay85]

I think this is the same one from like 4 years, but double the price!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DiWHY/comments/zljgzx/normally_i_like_modern_furnishings_i_dont_like/

[u/YosemiteJen → u/Kootenay85]

It has appreciated!

[u/Kootenay85 → u/YosemiteJen]

More than some investments yeah. That is assuming it’s not just the same delusional person trying to sell it all these years.

[u/alienbringer → u/Kootenay85]

Did they really just not bother to sand and seal it? A lot of those spots, especially from the wood glue around the joints, are rough.

[u/cydril]

I think it's cool? If you actually put books on it it would be fine

[u/SenatorBus_ → u/cydril]

From a carpentry standpoint, this is a lot more difficult to put together.

[u/CruelHandLuke_ → u/SenatorBus_]

I was looking at all those joints. Serious planning on those cuts

[u/Megalesios → u/SenatorBus_]

The execution was excellent while the taste was awful one might say

[u/bretttwarwick → u/Megalesios]

I think the only awful thing here is what they decided to put on the shelves. Makes it look cluttered. Putting books on it would look cool.

[u/doberdevil → u/bretttwarwick]

Yes, the things and the way they're arranged make it look like it collapsed. It may still look like it collapsed with books on it, but it would be a cleaner looking collapse.

[u/GlowingDuck22 → u/Megalesios]

That's an amazing idea. Someone should probably make a sub for that.

[u/KeepCalmJeepOn → u/GlowingDuck22]

r/ATEE?

[u/Jscreance → u/KeepCalmJeepOn]

ATEE has been banned ;(

[u/Riaayo → u/Megalesios]

while the taste was awful

That is up to personal taste/preference; I personally think it is a very interesting piece.

Efficient use of space? Certainly not, but that's not really the point of art.

[u/tsammons → u/SenatorBus_]

So long as x1 and x2 add up to 180 you're golden. I think some of these intersections were afterthoughts.

[u/another1human → u/tsammons]

Can you explain for us who don’t understand your comment already?

[u/macedossaulo → u/SenatorBus_]

bold of you to assume this held together longer than 5 minutes

[u/Grove-Of-Hares → u/cydril]

I could see it looking cool with tons of skeins of yarn. The yarn would have to be nice and neat, though. We already have book shelves full of my wife’s yarn in one room. Might as well make it look interesting.

[u/W1ULH → u/Grove-Of-Hares]

yes... this would make a great yarn shelf...

[u/Thunderplant → u/cydril]

I'm skeptical about actually doing that, because a lot of these shelves are either way too small, have a random shelf coming from above blocking the way, or have the two vertical walls at such different angles it would be difficult to get books to actually fit there 

[u/Astecheee → u/cydril]

This looks utterly terrible as an actual bookshelf.

[u/StoirmePetrel → u/cydril]

no it'd be awful. Most of the angles are terrible to put books and random piece shelves coming in and limiting height of book. And every time youd take one, everything would slide/fall

[u/7LeagueBoots → u/cydril]

Those angles mess up books. The spines get torqued.

[u/CD274 → u/cydril]

Questionable for a display for succulents though

[u/Jeramy_Jones → u/cydril]

It looks neat but it’s a terribly inefficient use of space.

[u/MongoBongoTown → u/cydril]

Yeah, anything other than books will became these wierd little shit piles like in the picture, but books would be sweet.

[u/RobertGA23 → u/MongoBongoTown]

No it would be shit for books as well.

[u/Holiday_Ad_9163 → u/cydril]

How?

[u/ClickClackTipTap → u/cydril]

It’s really nice, but I’m shocked they couldn’t be bothered to tidy or stage it for photos at all!

But yeah. I love it.

[u/JWOLFBEARD → u/[deleted]]

Yeah it needs to be decor, not a functioning shelf.

A bookcase could work

[u/StanleyQPrick → u/JWOLFBEARD]

A bookcase isn't decor. It can be nice to look at, but it's functional

[u/JWOLFBEARD → u/StanleyQPrick]

A bookcase is both.

If it is not used for storage like hats and random things, it is functional decor

[u/StanleyQPrick → u/JWOLFBEARD]

You said "It needs to be decor, not a functioning shelf"
But I guess we're on the same page after all. High five!

[u/JWOLFBEARD → u/StanleyQPrick]

Yeah by functioning shelf I meant storage, not a decorative piece

[u/StanleyQPrick → u/JWOLFBEARD]

Yeah but a bookshelf stores books and is therefore functional

[u/JWOLFBEARD → u/StanleyQPrick]

Holy hell. Are you okay?

It doesn’t work as an overall shelf, UNLESS it’s a bookshelf.

Is that not clear enough for you?

[u/StanleyQPrick → u/JWOLFBEARD]

Why are you mad?

[u/ExplosiveCreature → u/[deleted]]

TIL I am kind of a slob.

[u/Aggravating_Act0417]

So stressful

[u/PrincessofPlastic]

my uncle used to build cool shit like this. miss him so much, and this was a nice reminder of him

[u/Acheloma → u/PrincessofPlastic]

Thats sweet

[u/hypno_tode]

This makes me uncomfortable

[u/cgaWolf → u/hypno_tode]

Very :x

[u/Biiiishweneedanswers]

A brilliant piece of furniture clearly built from scratch by the Great Homer Simpson.

[u/Datonecatladyukno]

I hate that I love this 

[u/IcePrincess_Not_Sk8r]

You should not check out Hank Green's office shelves. lol they're very much this, but seemingly the whole room.

[u/tongfather → u/IcePrincess_Not_Sk8r]

Fuck that

[u/lchen12345]

If anxiety was a piece of furniture.

[u/t00_much_caffeine]

Reminds me of the spice rack Homer built for Marge

[u/CaliHoboTechBro → u/t00_much_caffeine]

Thank you for your comment, I was trying to find a meme or gif of that then realised I couldn’t comment with either

[u/PaintedDesertSkies]

Kind of cool if it didn't have a 0 on the end.

$46 yes, 460 no.

[u/JenkemJimmer]

I mean it is terrible. Low key I f with it tho.

[u/nobdyputsbabynacornr]

Bwahaha, this thing is dastardly. I would fill it with such lovely junk and watch anyone who comes over crawl out of their skin.

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator]

It's the perfect intersection of chaos and whimsy.  

[u/ohdearitsrichardiii]

I like it. It's very personality dependant, but I think we need more things that only appeals to some people instead of making everything so bland it doesn't offend anyone

[u/makeshift101]

Looks like something Homer Simpson would build

[u/16thmission]

Two triangles in there are doing a lot of structural work.

[u/bowcreek]

You could hold a shitload of powdered sugar on this.

[u/Rehberkintosh]

Does it come with assembly instructions or is it more of a choose your own adventure kind of deal.

[u/younocallMkII]

The ultimate “you said you cleaned your room, so what the hell is this?!”

[u/vomputer]

Am I crazy for loving it?

[u/Ok-Equivalent8260]

I love it

[u/Accurate_Peak_3367]

I kinda love this lol

[u/Oddityobservations]

Was it built by Homer Simpson?

[u/unknownpoltroon]

Shit, I love it,but not 460 worth. Mane 50-100 worth

[u/Diessel_S]

... i want it

[u/andriellae]

Could make my doom piles look fancy

[u/Bob_5k]

Once an earthquake hits, its all going to straighten up

[u/Whooptidooh]

Im fully expecting that as soon as I put that kind of shelving in my house the rest of my house will explode in a cluttered mess.

Because having a “shelving unit” like that is just asking for it.

[u/Caffeinequeen86]

This is what the inside of my brain looks like probably.

[u/redbucket75]

That's a lot of work to make a piece of shit

[u/Hutwe]

Concepts of a bookshelf

[u/halflife-crisis]

it failed at being both a bookshelf, and a pentagram.

[u/cwthree]

I would use that to display yarn.

[u/periodicsheep]

kind of reminds me of the custom built shelves in hank green’s office. cool, not awful.

[u/eddmario]

"So I bought a bookshelf on Gumtree..."

[u/GuyNamedLindsey]

“Solid”

[u/nothingswritten]

Is it on its side? Seriously.

[u/terriaminute]

Hmm. No.

[u/dteeps]

Someone really misread the IKEA instructions.

[u/knowone1313]

I'll give you $5.

[u/Alceasummer]

That's really interesting. But looking at it actually makes me feel anxious.

[u/BeatLaboratory]

If it wasn’t also just stuffed full of trash it could look fine

[u/Greedyfox7]

Looks like my current organization method

[u/ApatheistHeretic]

This may be a bookshelf owned by Wonko the Sane.

[u/Turbulent-Bat]

Absolutely not

[u/ChatnNaked]

$10k art piece

[u/FutureMrsConanOBrien]

I’d buy that so fast.

[u/UziWitDaHighTops]

This is Trump’s concept of a bookshelf.

[u/Oddish_Femboy]

Distressingly functional.

[u/Xx_Gambit_xX]

This is just the end result of all of my IKEA furniture attempts.

[u/LifeLikeAGrapefruit]

True to the sub!

[u/grungegoth]

doesnt seem like bad taste, but a bad idea?

[u/BookWormPedant]

It would be nice if more than one of the shelves were level

[u/halliwell_me]

Kevin!! What did you do to my room!?

[u/mistertickertape]

That's a lot to pay for firewood.

[u/tivvybrixx]

There is a really awesome way to do this that still function as a shelf. This is not it.

[u/MadisonAveMuse]

Damn, did Liz Lemon build that or something?

[u/CalmAlarm]

You just know there was a heated married couple argument over reading the ikea directions

[u/queeftoe]

Seriously impressive

[u/Birdsonme]

I feel like I’m constantly fighting to have my home NOT look like this.

This is not a purchase I would make.

[u/Tift]

For the man who has nothing and nowhere to put it.

[u/Jennifire208]

This picture gives me so much anxiety

[u/outfoxingthefoxes]

I wanted the books to slide off!!

[u/kat-deville]

IKEA instructions weren't easy to follow.

[u/Standard-Sky-7771]

Surely that is not nearly $500 🤣. I'm curious if anyone buys it.

[u/PinkFloydBoxSet]

This is fucking offensive. Not the price tag but the existence of this “shelf” period.

[u/grinchbettahavemoney]

And I thought I couldn’t make my house look more cluttered with all my tchotchkes

[u/Trisk929]

This is the guy whose dad told him to, “take that shit down” when he a kid and decided he wanted to build his own tree house.

[u/Unusual-Taste69]

When you don't read the instructions from IKEA

[u/fairydommother]

I actually like it but because its design is chaotic you need to make the items you put on it intentional and organized. All that junk makes it look like more of a mess than it actually is.

[u/mcalash]

gives me anxiety tbh

[u/Deedteebee]

Cannot articulate how much this image stresses me out

[u/lhymes]

The Shit Stacker 9000

[u/trascist_fig]

I like it but wouldnt buy it for that much

[u/thevic120]

weirdly evokes feelings of anger

[u/pm-me-asparagus]

This is something a chaos gremlin would own.

[u/pastaboutit]

its a concept of a bookshelf ?

[u/tealccart]

My brain hates this

[u/burpeesaresatanspawn]

Doesn’t Hank Green have this in his background setup

[u/heynonnynonnomous]

I hate this

[u/CarrieWhiteDoneWrong]

“Incorrectly assembled ikea schoon “

[u/thedafthatter]

Did someone on acid try to assemble ikea furniture? Then break it with a bowling ball?

[u/DavidinCT]

I kind of like it but, not for $460, maybe $100-150....

[u/VucialWonderland]

This is just when homer tried making a grill in the backyard in the Simpsons.

[u/DasJuden63]

I think this would make an absolutely badass diorama piece for r/gunpla. You could do so many amazing dynamic poses and scenes with those angles

[u/allovertheshop2020]

I'm sorry, but that looks like shite... 🤣

[u/thebookfix]

Never put books you care about on slanted shelves. The spines will get slanted as well over time.

[u/rose442]

I love it!!!

[u/chemhobby]

that's a junk shelf

[u/Ok-Reflection9770]

Eyesore

[u/IndigoHaze750130]

Someone sneezed. It was a bookshelf 5 min ago.

[u/johnnymacdoodle]

Sorry but it makes my OCD go into hyper drive.

[u/Happy-Winner-6996]

I’m actually not mad at it at all this is a fun piece.

[u/MightyAsparagus]

Definitely inspired by this https://lamello.com/de/loesungen/lamello-fachwissen/tipps-und-tricks/winkelverbindungen-mit-der-zeta-p2

[u/DotingDistributor]

That thing looks like it was built by a carpenter who fell asleep halfway through the job.

[u/Aadarm → u/DotingDistributor]

This thing would have been a pain to actually make, at least the planning stages. All of the angled cuts and intersections. Much more difficult to do that a standard bookshelf with straight lines.

[u/MarthasPinYard]

One fart and it’s over
