Great idea. I remember my parents had storage shelves in our basement when I was young that were just cinder blocks and boards. Decorative blocks and nice stained wood could look really nice.

You may have figured out by now that they LOVE books! If you’re interested in more details let me know – it was certainly an inexpensive option compared to what they would have spent on “store bought” shelves. Actually when they moved the shelves came too and are still in use now 20+ years later!
