It looks like something that would belong more in a retail store than a home.

i think this would be fun in a teenager's room, or in a college dorm room.

I think this is a great space-saver and wish I had one.

Great conversation piece. Would love to have one.

I wouldn't put these in the middle of the room, it's a bit too library-esque. I'd be putting a white one up against a feature wall (wallpaper or bold coloured paint), or even tucked into a corner. It's a nice idea, but it's not "centre-of-the-room" worthy.

I love this - i would stick something like this just outside my extremely small bathroom for storage of towels, etc.

YUCK. This belongs in a travel agency or tourist information center.

could have been a cool concept, but they look a bit cheap and bulky. even being a little shorter might help.

Hmm. I have an antique rotating bookshelf. Adding one of these to the room could add some modern oomph.

You might be able to achieve the same thing by using large wood cable spools mounted on a lazy susan base.

I'd rather put my books away in a credenza behind some doors...

I prefer Levenger's circular cases.

Middle choice. You know why? Because "not" to me is 95% of the ridiculous and awful normal hots or nots. I can't say this makes me throw up a little in my mouth, I can't say this makes me shake my head and want to give up sight. It's a little okayer than that. It's perfectly reasonable for someone.
