XS Cargo - A bargain in ever buck!
 
So from $30 leader Starscreams to brave little appliances, I've come to like XS Cargo quite a bit, and yesterday was no exception. I'll take a pic of how they look now in my room once my batteries charge tomorrow, but I picked up a couple of these 3 tier bookshelves today, and they were only about 8 bucks each before taxes.

I was also surprised at how good the quality was on these, as not only was the colour consistent, but they were packed pretty well, and neither of mine were missing parts. The holes were all drilled within spec (nothing wabbles), and I didn't have to do any dickin' around like I've gotten accustom to doing with furniture.

They're not solid wood (they're pretty much sawdust board with black laminate that's got a faint wood pattern that's visible if you're close), but you can stack one on top of the other if you want a taller look, and they even come with plastic plugs to cover the screws after assembly. They're not gonna support a person, but they're made in such a way that there's multiple false backs (which adds to the strength), and the only real downside is that the shelf height isn't adjustable, but considering they were 8 bucks, I think I can let that thing go haha. Not really trying to advertise, but I figured these were a relatively stylish & inexpensive way for collectors to cope with our hoards, so yeah. :)

Edit - The ones I bought are now 12 bucks each (likely couse they were part of a sale), but its still pretty good.

You can use the store locator things for a rough estimate, but if the nearest store is far from where you live, it's usually best to call & have someone physically look. The Kelowna one has all of this shit on pallets with signs everywhere, but yeah.

Also, I'm sorry about the shitty pics, but its the best I could do without natural light & I wanted to get something out tonight since I likely won't have the time needed to take decent ones anyway for quite a while. They're actually a lot darker in person, and I've got two of the little ones stacked up next to the cabinet.

They're 29.99, but you'll get more space in total that way than if you did what I did & buy a pair of the 3-tier to stack on top of each other. Plus, it says that a couple of its shelves are meant to be adjustable, so for 30 bucks its probably the cheapest you'll find.

If you wanna look at others, just type "bookshelf" or "shelf" into the search bar and a bunch should come up.

I thought so but his feet look...bigger. That's what was confusing me. The rest of it looks SW but his feet feel like someone else.
Maybe i'm just losing my mind
