Even if you know that something is objectively better, if the majority of the market doesn’t agree, you’re going to find yourself spending lots of time and energy going against everyone else. At a certain point you just need to accept that that’s how things are and go with the flow, or take it upon yourself to really “fix” things, which will probably mean taking it on as a full time job or hobby. So in this case, you can get a commercial bookcase that is probably good enough to last quite a while (and be able to spend a lot of time with your new child), or spend a lot of time on the garage learning woodworking so you can build a “real” one.
