    hi kelly,

    that big shelf is $799, which i think is a pretty competitive price if you are researching furniture/storage of that size. and it doesn’t look like it’s going to fall apart anytime soon either.

    i could go nuts thinking about it too, but i just force it out of my mind. 🙂

    thanks for the visit — tgif lady!

    hi larkyn,

    we need to form a commune here and furnish the house with these shelves, since everyone is in consensus here. 🙂

    thanks for stopping by!

    hi laura,

    well, that sucks that it is no longer available there. i would call or email to see if it is going to come back in. after my google search today i could not find any other places that carry those specific items, but maybe a search on eBay will yield something similar.

    good luck!

    Please notify me at fastflowingstreams@yahoo.com if someone finds the name of the manufacturer or someone else who sells the bookcases. Thanx
