Nothing too extensive, about 5-6m in shelves (in an L shape with corner computer table) is the plan so hopefully I'll be back soon with pictures  . |
I don't think you're in Melbourne are you? It's just that office works were selling these solidly constructed bookshelves 800 by 2.02M with adjustable shelves and double width shelving for $100 off the normal price. That's what I got. OK, they're chipboard with cherywood laminate but they look really good. I got seven bookcases = 42 shelves = 2,500 book capacity at a total cost of $900. I can promise you that's a very good deal. The next cheapest option was stained pine at $1,600 and then hardwoods are into the 2 -3,000+ range.
Good luck anyway...
