The speakers look nice but those shelfs will get old quickly, they bend under the wait of books and have the cheap look of a grocery store. If ur into design pay a carpenter for bespoke shelfs.

- rswail 6y agoAre you talking from experience with these shelves? Or are you making an assumption about their quality and long term stability? To me, they have the same functional design as Rams has promoted since the 1950s which has had a lasting effect on the world of design in both technology and other areas. Note that the shelves form a system of shelving, so you can adjust them in many different ways to suit different storage needs. They are usable in numerous different environments and mounting configurations. That's design. Eames said "Design is about constraints". The constraints here are things like wall types (and the requirements for mounting), using compression to support free standing shelving where it forms both storage and area separation. The sizing supports standard wall stud spacing and both plasterboard/solid construction as well as semi-freestanding and entirely freestanding configurations.
