It is quite an ingenious design, and looks terrific creating an illusion of books floating along the wall.

It's such a simple, elegant design, was really easy to put together, and deceptively holds a lot of books!

CONCLUSIONSI like the clean simple even innovative design, the space-savings, style, weight, color, tone, and look of the book tower

This exactly what I needed, a book tower that was a streamline design, durable and would hold a lot of books.

Modern, sleek design, love it, stores a lot of books without occupying much space

The structure is amazing very easy to assemble, sturdy, and the look is amazing I love this piece best purchase I've made for my house!

I think the look of it is awesome and it takes up very little space

I see books themselves as art, this elevates them to a sharper look than I thought possible

It is not attractive and really is trashy looking

Sturdy, great quality, sleek look and easy to put together.

It's a decently sturdy metal bookcase to not come with any instructions though but really really easy to put together looks great save space holds a lot of books

I was a bit worried about the look and quality, but once I got it assembled, I was pleasantly surprised!I'd definitely consider this product as a lower-priced option for expensive "designer" bookcases.

But other than that, after all the screws are on, the bookcase stands fine, and still fine after stocking it full with books and magazine

This is a wonderful, space-saving and sleek bookcase that not only looks fantastic, but the kids like it too and actually use it

I actually received the bookcase from Amazon with only the spine, base and shelves included and all of the hardware missing, but I'm still giving the bookcase 5 stars because I was able to request the hardware directly from Southern Enterprises and received it in less than a week and at no extra cost, plus Amazon refunded me part of my purchase

This tower shelving looks like the ones seen in design magazines where you really can build a tower of books, but the price is much cheaper.

Ridiculous price point

I just love this book tower & had been searching for the right one at the right price for some time.

I've wanted one of these shelves for a while, and the Spine Book Tower is a good color and price

All in all I absolutely love this book tower, and was super happy to get it for such a great price (80) with Prime shipping

The trickiest part of assembly--which isn't hard at all--is attaching the back post to the base; for me, the most efficient way to do this is to lay the base flat and level on the floor just as it will be once completed, and to insert the two longest screws underneath it so that they're protruding up and out from the bottom of the base, then positioning the back post down onto the top of the screws

This is a really cool way to store tons of books without taking up a lot of space

This product is a great and stylish way to display books, perfect for small spaces

Easy to assemble and I love the way the books stacked this way without taking up a lot of floor space.

I kept a keen eye on the instructions but there isn't really any wrong way to do it

it's just wrong that my books are so fat that I have to consider that!

Each shelf holds enough weight to put very large, dense books on it

This product is a great and stylish way to display books, perfect for small spaces

This bookshelf has such a unique look, and it's great for showcasing the books themselves.

Surprisingly, two weeks have gone by and our cats have been completely uninterested in trying to knock the books off the shelf

I always had beef with bulky bookshelves but not anymore

I love this bookshelf, it is heavy, sturdy and holds so many books.

I absolutely love this bookshelf - if you have enough books, the structure just disappears and it looks so great

This bookshelf is WAY TOO expensive and my books are constantly falling off of it

All in all, I think this is a great bookshelf to have when you do

Right in the middle of the spine, the tower was bent-- crushed from a shipping incident or from some earlier mishap

I just love this book tower & had been searching for the right one at the right price for some time.

I had no problem putting my tower together and love it in my room.

I love this book tower, it's a great replacement for DWR's Sapien book tower, which they don't seem to manufacture anymore

Love this book tower, great price, very sturdy, looks great in my house.

My husband is an avid book collector and the book tower is a great space saver as well as an interesting way to display books in our small living room.

It's a decently sturdy metal bookcase to not come with any instructions though but really really easy to put together looks great save space holds a lot of books

Sleek and stable, a small footprint for a lot of stylish space

This is a good shelf for areas in which you have limited space

It is steel, so it will last forever and won't suffer damages or take up costly space during our next relocation

There is no vertical support, each shelf is just a L- shaped metal sheet (good example is the Invisible shelf from Umbra)

I even have a anatomical skull model on it to top the shelf off.

The second shelf gave me an issue when it became apparent that one screw for the base would not be long enough to attach the base

I secured the shelf with the two screws and all was well

The shelf is sturdy, beautiful, functional, and at this price, you really can't go wrong

Excellent product that is 40% of the cost of similar products

This is a solid, attractive product that's easy to put together

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a vastly superior product.

Great product for book lovers to store books in a tiny footprint.

Arrived in poor dirty packaging that I threw away and now stuck with a very inferior product.

They were either of poor quality of they we difficult to set up

It was very easy to assemble and so far quality is great

These are amazing quality and a great knock off the sapien

Sturdy, great quality, sleek look and easy to put together.

I feel that the price was reasonable and the quality is good.

QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE #1I say in theory, because though the book tower has weight and is heavy-duty solid construction, there exists a few quality control issues that are evident--confirmed by the fact that I bought two which arrived in separate boxes but exhibit the same issues

Came on time, easy o assemble and strudy

The process was so quick that I was a bit stunned at the operational efficiency--even forgetting to note the other quality control issue with the slits on the spine

Came on time, easy o assemble and strudy

I have moderate to severe fine motor control issues in both hands, and I was able to assemble the unit with a minimum of fuss, angst and dropping screws/allen wrench.

The spine is quite heavy duty metal, so its not easy to spread or force open to get the shelf inserted.

But,the shelves are unnoticeable when stacked with books and I could not find a less expensive spine so far

One of them arrived with a warped spine that wouldn't take one of the most important

The spine wobbles a bit when full with books - something to be aware of if you have small children

I deducted one star because the spine is too easy to bend, surprising given its weight.

It's unwieldy and has a much larger footprint than the more expensive models, and since the shelves are so large, the books don't really "float" unless they're very large

On the positive side, it looks as nice as the more expensive models and hasn't fallen yet!

Came on time, easy o assemble and strudy

Ok, I was not sure how it would compare to the really expensive models out

On the positive side, it looks as nice as the more expensive models and hasn't fallen yet!
