Umbra Floating Book shelf--Transform your books into a work of art!

One of the most important things for bibliophiles like me (besides the books themselves, of course) is having a nice, safe, organized place to put our books. If you don't want your books to be scattered all around your desk, tables, bed and whatnot, but at the same time you don't have enough space for a traditional bookshelf, Umbra Floating Book Shelves are your solution!


These modern and practical book shelves can hold up 15, 20, and 30 pounds depending on the size you buy. They're easy to install, and free a lot of space for your room! 

These are some pictures of my own shelves already installed:
Small--for all you paperbacks and most hardcovers:


Large--for overly large hardcovers and even textbooks:










































Double--I don't recommend these as they come asymmetrical sometimes and look kind of bad:




You can buy different models of shelves and other home decor products here. Or you can buy them directly from Amazon here. The prices vary from $13 to $18 depending on the size and model.

Some customer reviews:

I bought one of these to store some antique books given to me by my father. I put this shelf up in my son's room and it instantly added character and charm. I hope to purchase a few more because I have more books to go around. This shelf really does become concealed and it makes your books a piece of artwork! Would look fabulous clustered together on a wall. A+!--by Rachel , 2010-05-18 23:58:17.0
I bought four of these and I want to buy more. Excellent product, easy to install and a great price!--by Rebecca , 2010-05-18 23:59:15.0

Definitely a great way to keep your books safe and organized without giving up space and style!
