It was this or spending what little time I had left watching movies and anime. I&#8217;ve started watching a new J-Drama that HKenshin introduced me to called My Boss My Hero which I&#8217;ll speak of in a later post. It&#8217;s super hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, last weekend I received my bookshelves from OfficeMax and built them. I actually spent a week looking for the right size. Even drove all the way down to IKEA and came back empty handed. I have this space in the middle of my stairs that is 60&#8243; wide and 11.5&#8243; deep. The previous owner had 2 bookcases there which fitted pretty nicely, so I decided to get 2 bookshelves that were ~30&#8243; wide. IKEA had tons of selection, but was either barely over or left too much space. According to my notebook:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=42154\">KILBY<\/a>: 26 3\/8&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=16755\">BILLY<\/a>: 31 1\/2&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=13236\">MAGIKER<\/a>: 15&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=11490\">PAX<\/a>: 19 5\/8&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=11305\">MARKOR<\/a>: 19 5\/8&#8243;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&#038;storeId=12&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=11499\">EXPEDIT<\/a>: 58 5\/8&#8243;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this point, I only saw the KILBY and BILLY, so I was trying to come up with a combination of bookshelves which would add up to around 60&#8243; but really ended up with nowhere. I did see the MAGIKER too and was thinking of 4x MAGIKER, but unfortunately, the depth of that bookshelf was 15 3\/7&#8243;. I went and ask the sales guy for help and he suggested using 3 PAX instead of trying to come up with mismatch sets which I agree might look ugly.<\/p>\n<p>I went over to the PAX and it was pretty awesome at first, until I saw the depth: 13 3\/4&#8243;<br \/>\nThe same went with the remaining bookshelves of having 13-15&#8243; depths.<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty disappointed, though I did see a few breakfast tables that I was interested in, but who knew that breakfast tables were so expensive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&#038;storeId=12&#038;productId=20713&#038;langId=-1\">NYGARD<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&#038;storeId=12&#038;productId=35194&#038;langId=-1\">DOCKSTA<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikea.com\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10103&#038;storeId=12&#038;productId=74802&#038;langId=-1\">SALMI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So back to my bookshelves, so after I came home, I started browsing the 3 big office supplies stores: Office Depot, Staples, and OfficeMax. I&#8217;ve always been a big supporter of Office Depot and Staples, but neither of them really had what I wanted. When I was about to give up, I find this on OfficeMax: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.officemax.com\/max\/solutions\/product\/prodBlock.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&#038;expansionOID=-536896507&#038;prodBlockOID=537247949\">Atwood Bookcase (71-3\/8&#8243;H x 11-5\/8&#8243;D x 29-5\/8&#8243;W)<\/a> and I was like sweet! It was also on sale for $45 each, so I ordered 2 and used $20 off $100 coupon (after adding some fillers).<\/p>\n<p>So time for the display:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6076.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9829-2\/IMG_6076.JPG\" alt=\"bookshelf boxes\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6077.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9833-2\/IMG_6077.JPG\" alt=\"random boards and pieces\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6078.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9836-2\/IMG_6078.JPG\" alt=\"bookshelf back\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6079.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9839-2\/IMG_6079.JPG\" alt=\"empty wall\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6080.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9842-2\/IMG_6080.JPG\" alt=\"begin building\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6081.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9845-2\/IMG_6081.JPG\" alt=\"building bookshelf\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6082.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9848-2\/IMG_6082.JPG\" alt=\"almost done with #1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6083.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9851-2\/IMG_6083.JPG\" alt=\"done with #1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6084.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9854-2\/IMG_6084.JPG\" alt=\"where #2 will go\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6085.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9857-2\/IMG_6085.JPG\" alt=\"almost done with #2\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6086.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9860-2\/IMG_6086.JPG\" alt=\"almost done with #2\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6087.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9863-2\/IMG_6087.JPG\" alt=\"done with #2\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6088.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9866-2\/IMG_6088.JPG\" alt=\"done with #2\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6089.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9869-2\/IMG_6089.JPG\" alt=\"started filling my bookshelves with crap\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/v\/bookshelves\/IMG_6090.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.krunk4ever.com\/gallery\/d\/9872-2\/IMG_6090.JPG\" alt=\"started filling my bookshelves with crap\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, how long has it been since my last post&#8230; I&#8217;ve just been swamped with work recently and have been too tired to make any post.
