I'm always looking for the "odd" King pre-publication, so when this was offered, I grabbed it. I haven't heard from this seller for more than a year, though.
Yeah, I wish my cases were nearly as nice. Ikea...it's no supermodel but gets the job more or less done There's a custom bookshelf maker in my neighborhood, but their very basic pine cases start at $219 for a 72" - if you want to go for a fancy-ish style but with no windows we're close to $400.
Funny how I have no problem spending that on a S/L but can't force myself to spend that money to upgrade my shelves....priorities (sigh)
I picked up the upper glass at a antique store, I wasn't shopping for glass, matching pair perfect size for door's. The wood is quarter sawn oak and the bottom glass is antiqued type, with imperfections, materials alone was close to $1000. My wife's brother did a great job and thank all the time!
I am in the same boat Tomas. I want to upgrade my bookcases to glass doors. Mostly for the preservation of the books. My family doesn't understand that the $400 bookcase is going to hold $1000s of dollars worth of books. Still on the fence about what to buy. Any suggestions anyone. To let you know the books are in a spare bedroom and are staying there for the near future.
