Research Bookcase

cool concept

-- Do it right the first time. Becuase fixing it is a wast of time.

interesting concept. How will you add strength to the center panel that will sit 22 inches from the bottom? Maybe you should also leave room on the top for a comfy cushion?

-- making sawdust....

Respectfully Ms. Debbie…. I could be wrong, but your overall dimensions come out to 24”...., but when you break it down in the middle it only adds up to 22” ? Did you allow for the thickness of the wood ? I hope you don’t mind…... it is better to discover your mistakes before they are reality and have to scrap it.
I comment in a friendly way. I don’t usually discover these things ‘till it’s too late.
NICE DESIGN THOUGH ! I LIKE IT !

Deb,

I am with you. Sometimes it is better just to jump in and make some sawdust and worry about the technical details later. :)

Thats quite unique. I think its a very creative idea.

I just solved the addition problem
the table sits 24” high .
and the first book shelves are only at 22” high so the books are a couple inches below the top of the table.

darn.. and I already threw the calculator in the garbage.. doh

Very interesting Debbie. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. Good luck.

Hi Ms. Executive Director;

Wow, you sure have colorful books. You sure they’re research books?

Creative design, and appears to be very practical.

And thanks to CanadianWoodChuck for this Sketchup version of the bookcase:

A clever design!

It looks to me like your getting the hang of using Sketchup.

I’ve finally learned how to spell it correctly.;o)

Yes I’ve learned how to do it—get someone else to do it for you!! :)
I can get a rectangle but that’s about it :)

My bookcase keeps getting better and better. Thanks to Lip for this adaptation. I like this! A place for highlighters, stickies, note paper and pens. (And it also gives that bit of stability suggested above).

Thanks for the idea and the work put into drawing it up.
