One Of The Mysteries Of The Universe

Why is it that finding a reasonably priced bookshelf is so damn impossible. If you want one that is cheap it means one thing: Assembly.

I'm not all that good with instructions and or nails, hammers or screwdrivers. I'm not a mechanical girl. I suck at that stuff.

So I go to Value City, because that's where I got the couch and chair but those are way too expensive and would require them to be delivered and that's a bit complicated in my household.

This presents a problem, because I need storage for my books. The first bookshelf I bought when I was in college is not doing to well and I really don't want my house filled with Itso cubes from Target.

There has to be something I can use that looks decent and will get the books put away. I realize I could stop buying books, but that isn't going to happen. Just like I'm not likely going to stop buying music, so I need to find a happy medium here.

Walmart has some easily assembled shelves, but they really aren't good for books. They are more for modern looking knickknacks.

So basically I'm at square one here. Any suggestions?
