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.
