NOTE: As of
August, 2007, these bookcases became collector's items. Due to
circumstances beyond my control they are no longer being manufactured. I
am leaving these pages up as a historical reference for those who bought
these bookcases over the years.

"My wife and I have been book collectors all our
lives and have amassed a large collection over the years. We have
two rooms devoted almost entirely to bookshelves, plus other shelves
distributed in various places about the house. Still, we were lacking book
storage space and in fact, had been storing books in stacks on the floor. We are now able to
nearly double our book storage area using about half the wall space. I
must add that these revolving shelves are attractive, very sturdy
and easy to assemble."

Revolving bookcases were quite popular in
the late 1800's - early 1900's and are now becoming popular again. They
hold a lot of books for the amount of space they use.
The old-fashioned design of slats and fixed shelves
has been given a new look with moulded solid wood side panels instead of slats and additional
versatility with adjustable shelves.
Books and magazines come in all sizes and shapes and there is a lot of
wasted space with fixed shelves. These adjustable shelves can hold everything from oversize
reference books to paperbacks, office supplies to laptop computers, curios
and memorabilia, cds and videos to anything else you can put on a shelf.
These bookcases are made in Eugene, Oregon by a
company that has been making wood shelving systems and shipping
internationally for over 20 years.
The bookcases ship KD (knocked down) to save on
freight charges. They use a mini-fix and cam system which make them very
easy to assemble and disassemble. One or two people can put one together
or take one apart in minutes with only a phillips head screwdriver.
Because they can be easily taken down, these bookcases are particularly
good for trade shows, college, temporary exhibits, fairs, Saturday
markets...
Order our revolving bookcases now for a lot of shelving in a small space. |

Bookcase Woods & Finishes
The Revolving Bookcases are made from solid
Oak and Maple or a combination of solid-wood/veneer. The bookcases have a clear
lacquer topcoat to protect and bring out the beauty of the wood.

Natural Maple (see Tower above) is a light-colored blondish wood with a
very fine-grained uniform texture. It brightens any room and enhances the
colors of whatever is displayed on it. Maple does not stain well but
it does paint nicely. |
Natural Red Oak (see Plant Stand above) is a reddish brown color with very distinctive wood grain
patterns. Stains very nicely. |
Dark Oak stain (see Table above) is natural red oak which has
been stained a slightly darker color. The stain enhances the wood grain
pattern. Choose this one if you want to match other oak furniture you
already have. |
