Yeah, these guys REALLY need to do something with their marketing…

The books are fake. The weight of real books would make the unit too heavy.

Yeah, they really need to re-design some of the problems outlined in these comments. Or at least have some pictures to prove that it works…

Nevermind the fake books, the drawers beneath them must be fake too! Is a bed so unsightly that you need a fake bookcase and fake drawers? Why not just build a bookcase and the bureau into the wall and then have additional storage under the bed?

Or have the bookcase and drawers open out like closet doors – then the bed comes down? That way you can actually use both?

It’s cute – but why sacrifice all function for beauty? That’s not crafty – it’s vanity!

Nice, great idea Larry!

They really need something to prevent the books from falling out…

I would put wire mesh across the books ,2/3 rds of the way up.
Most titles are on the top portion of the spline.

not only are the books fake, but the drawers must be as well. Looked cool to start off but now it’s just junk

Wow, that’s realistic, they really need a solution for that instead of siliconing it.

According to the original website:
Books are siliconed into position to add that deception theme to this media room.

No late night reading, I suppose.

Have you never seen a fake bookshelf? There are several ways to do it. Sometimes the books’ spines are removed and affixed to a wooden panel. Other times, a drill and a dowel goes through the whole row of books to keep it in place. Books are found free or cheap from Salvation Army or whatever.

The books are fake. Just spines, probably. I’ve seen similar constructions where the whole thing has to be fairly portable, like a TV studio where sets get changed frequently.

“Bed Up: Books are siliconed into position to add that deception theme to this media room”
Quite possibly real books, but as the website says, they’re siliconed into position, so you can’t actually take them out.

hmmm…yeah that’s true but where is the glass? or do they have some other mechanism?

By: George

They can simply have a glass covering the books which slides out and then they wont fall…

oh yeah, never thought about that,
how DO THEY stay there?

Anyone?

But how do the books stay in the shelves?

The books must be fake if they dont fall out… I wonder if they look really fake.
