apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

AS4 shelving from Atlas Industries. Just lovely, it will be my first purchase when I win the lottery.

Any thoughts on smartfurniture.com? I've got a modular shelving set that I purchased from them a couple of years ago and it's great! You design your system using their graphics package on the website, where you drag and drop components to get exactly what you want. They then figure out how many connectors you need, and then you buy it. Easy! Also, they offer shelves which are shallower depth than most others I found, which was exactly what I was looking for.

The Cubitec is a good idea but just too plastic for me. I am looking for modular shelving made out of wood. Preferably I would like to be able to see it before I buy it. The only thing I have seen to date is a product from the Door Store which is $400 for little unit to $700 for a larger one. I am talking about the Stiletto and the Diamond bookcase. Also Pier 1 has a stacking T shelf but again seems overpriced for the size. But if I cant find anything else I might break down anyway. I would even be willing to stain unfinished wood if I can find it. Anyone have any ideas where I could find this in the 5 boroughs?

You can always borrow Jasper Morrison's idea (or was it Martha Stewart? and why is this link not working? see below) and use any old benches and footstools and stack for shelving.
