Welcome to Feature Friday!

I think this has an interesting design. I think this would be a great display shelving unit, but also, could fit in an office with the wood design.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I am a big fan of Tetris, and I definitely would love this shelving unit. The colours on this would fit well in a kid's playroom, but with other colour options, it could be customized to fit anywhere.

 Welcome to Feature Friday!

These coffin bookcases are a little haunting. However, they would also be a great place to put walking dead comics, and vampire novels.
