Like it.
What hardware is required besides the rope? Where can you buy this stuff?
Thanks
flaxart.com has one version...
Search for "Cable Shelf Bracket" on the site.
Does anyone else remember the episode of "Changing Rooms" where a woman had a collection of decorative teapots, and Linda Barker decided to put in tension-wire shelves just like this? She put teapots on the upper shelves, but IIRC she put books on the bottom shelf. The whole thing came crashing down, all the teapots were smashed, and the show wound up giving the woman a bunch of extra money.
This is what I think of whenever I see tension-wire shelves.
But I'm sure they're OK for pillows. Just don't get carried away with the weight?
... and i thought i'd beat someone to the punch by adding that the loss of a collection of decorative ceramic teapots is not a great one, except in sentimental terms to the collector. *shudder*
