Got mine at Ikea, very happy with it.
Paid abt 50% of what the stores in Boro Park were asking.

ETA: I believe this was the model of the one I got.

ETA 2 Just saw that you aren't looking for plain... This was a basic bookshelf.

I just searched IKEA for you but I don't remember what my bookcase is called.
I got the a bit more expensive one ( seem to remember 100$) then for 10$ I got a extra shelf made out of glass which I put in the middle for display.
Looks really good

Saw that, but also very simple with no work to it...

doing a quick search on ikea, I'm only finding very simple bookcases...

I'm looking for something with at least some wood work/design...

Thanks.

How much are you willing to spend? I got three of these and am very satisfied with my purchase, but it's more of a contemporary (lack of) design.

What I like about these is they handle the weight of seforim extremely well.

Hi. I'm looking for a nice cheaper bookcase for a dining/living room. Something a bit more modern but not too plain. I checked out Ikea but it was to plain and cheap looking. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

according to the dimensions they are quite low

it's the typical hight of most bookcases. I was also looking for something a bit higher but was hard pressed to find something similar quality in that price range (especially if you get the sale)

Are there currently any good deals on Seforim Shranks? I am looking for one the size that can hold like 5 sets of 20 volumes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the IKEA shrank above a good deal ( http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80245640/ ) ? Should I wait for a sale? I am no rush to buy.

TIA
