CSN Product Review: Spine Book Tower

Big Box! But only 30lbs

Awhile back, I received an email to do a product review for CSN Stores, and I chose a shelf that would not only save space but hold a lot of books (and luckily, I found something perfect). I chose....

Shelf:  SEI 55" H Spine Book Tower - BE0895

Pros: Wide Enough Shelves, Supports Weight, Displays Books Well, Sturdy,

Best Uses: Space Saver, Shelving and Storage, Decoration

Brief Overview: For a book tower, this one is one of the best I've seen or had. It has a very sturdy base, assembly was simple (once I got past the first few steps), and it can hold a lot of books (A little more than 60 on mine, both paperbacks and hardcovers). Initially I was worried it would all fall over with the weight, but the base keeps everything in check

Slowly building

Size: The size is a definite plus because it isn't so large that it takes up a lot of space, but it isn't too small that it won't hold a lot of books. It's the perfect size, and it looks very stylish. I can definitely see this shelf as being simple to un-assemble again for when I move (especially good for college students who want something to put in their dorm or apartment that doesn't take up a lot of space).

Putting it together: A bit of a struggle at first, when I was wobbling as I carried this 35lb box in the house. Then when it came to putting it together, it got a bit more difficult. I couldn't attach the main back to the base (I'm completely inept at building things, apparently), so I had to put the project on hold until I could get my brother to put that part together. After that, it was simple to get the shelves on, just time-consuming because I build things slowly (and the box came with everything I needed and an instruction sheet with drawings). 

Stats:

• Not too wide, just tall enough (dimensions:55.25" H x 16" W x 14" D)
• Fits 50-60ish books
• Sturdy base, does not fall over despite my efforts 
• Fairly easy assembly (25-35 minutes, because I'm slow at building things)
• Brief instructions (and materials) included, but it got the job done
• Quick delivery (4-6 days after ordering) and free shipping
• Price: $119.99 + free shipping

Overall: I'm very pleased with this tower! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a good, strong place to put their books, especially if you want to make sure it doesn't take up a lot of space like a normal bookcase would. 

(Don't mind the messy picture to the right, I just threw on as many books as I could just to see if it would still be sturdy, and to see how many books I could fit -- I was definitely shocked to see how many I could fit and that it never started to become unsteady!)

*for this product review, I received $60 certificate toward my purchase, and then I paid the remaining $59.99 out of my own money.

CSN Review Coming

It's a lamp Lighthouse! How cute!

I was contacted by Caitlin of CSN Stores, and I have to say, I was quite surprised at how many varying items they have. 

It seems like if you want it, they got it. Plus, a lot of their items seem to have free shipping! CSN Stores consists of well over 200 stores, with products like Lights (with some pretty neat lamps, like the one to the right) and the always fantastic, Bookcases (as well as a bunch of other things!!)

I've got to admit, the bookcases automatically drew my eye. I've got quite a few stacks of books in my room that need a home (because I don't think a floor really counts as a bookshelf, no matter how much I like to delude myself).

Oooh! That's neat!

Whoa! I wonder what it would look like with books??

I'll be reviewing some type of bookshelf soon at YA Book Queen (once I find the right one!). Be sure to check out CSN Stores! You might find something you like :)
