Product Review: Convenience Concepts "L" Shaped Bookcase

A little over a week ago I was contacted by CSN stores asking if I would like to review one of their thousands of products. Naturally, since I'm a bookworm and I had a little bit of space left in my room I chose to review a bookcase! As you can see from the picture below I had a ton of books stacked on my cheap Wal-Mart bookcase and it was just begging for a break from holding so much weight. When I saw the cool "L" shaped bookcase on the CSN stores site I knew I had to have it.

Yesterday when the Fed-Ex man delivered my new bookcase I was worried that I might have a hard time assembling it. I'm all thumbs and don't know the business end of a screwdriver from the other but luckily it was oh so easy to assemble, with no tools required and it looks terrific holding my books, dontcha think?


Before: My poor bookcase couldn't even hold most of my newer books :-(


After: My brand new bookcase from CSN stores!!!! I love it! The reason I have those books stacked on the top shelf is because I have to read them or I have already read them and need to write reviews. They're at eye level so I don't forget about 'em!



YAY! Old bookcase got a break and now holds mostly YA fiction, books from friends, and some of my old Steeple Hill and Heartsong books. :-)


*I was given a $60 gift certificate in exchange for posting about CSN sites and agreeing to review whichever product I bought, with no obligation to provide a positive review.*

    Hahaha Carrie! I didn't realize that when you clicked on my pictures you could read pretty much every title that I have. That's so cool!
    Some were missing from the pics though cause they're out on loan. :-P

    XOXO~ Renee
