SEI Metal Spine-Style Book Tower

I'd been lusting after this book tower for nearly a year when I walked into a friend's apartment and was greeted by what seemed like a MAGICAL STACK OF BOOKS. When you fill the bookcase completely, all shelves but the base seem to disappear. The look of it is quite simply a bibliophile's dream. I wanted it, but I couldn't justify spending around $200 for the one like hers from CB2. I tried over and over to find a similar bookshelf, but the closest one I found was an even more expensive model at The Container Store.

Finally, I stumbled upon this model by SEI, which is significantly more affordable and just as sturdy and chic. Very simple to put together and, I imagine, take apart. HUGE space saver (especially for book addicts). Color me DELIGHTED.

After wishing I could afford the Sapien tower book shelves that are oh so similar to these available at Design Within Reach, I read the review on these. Could they compare with the original at this remarkable price? I decided to buy a pair. They arrived and I wondered if I could put them together on my own. I am what could most kindly be described as mechanically challenged. I decided to not wait for help and jumped in. The instructions were clear and assembly was so easy. Even I could do it. The materials seem solid. The holes lined up without a problem. It was a snap. I was the proud owner of a high end looking spine bookshelf. I did it in about 15 minutes. I looked forward to doing the second one and moving all of my books out of boxes and cartons on to the shelves. The second one had just one problem. There was a small bend in the spine that meant that one of the shelves couldn't be inserted in the slot. I'm sure there is a tool that could be used to open the slot just enough to make it fit but I don't own it. Trying to pry it with a screw driver was not successful and I wasn't willing to use a lot of pressure for fear of damaging the finish. I would easily have given this five stars but just can't do it. The price is great. The materials seem sturdy. The instructions are clear. Just that one little problem with one shelf on one of the units keeps it from being perfect.

A friend of mine had a taller version of this bookcase, so I was excited to see an affordable version on Amazon. The thing was perfect except for the top shelf. The holes did not line up correctly sadness. I called SEI, and I talked to a human being who was super helpful. They shipped out a replacement spine the next day no questions asked. The new spine worked perfectly, and I get compliments on it all the time. I was really impressed how helpful, friendly and prompt the SEI experience was.
