array bookcase
on the up and up. Looking at this empty photo hardly does these alternative library stacks justice. Layer books and novels on their sides. Intersperse CDs and publications. Bruno Rainaldi design in lightweight laser-cut steel with silver powdercoat adds literati edge to a room. 14" footprint is a find for tight spaces. Each removable shelf can hold up to nine pounds. We like them lined up in threes. -Laser-cut steel components -Aluminum-tone powdercoat finish -Lightweight and easy to assemble -Designed by Bruno Rainaldi -Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth; dry immediately -Made in Italy

Array Bookcase
Date: 03/16/2010
This Bookcase is so beautiful and eligant that it blends in with my desk table that I purchase from CB2. I have placed all my books on this shelf and now everything is organized and not just put away it the closet. I recommend this Bookcase to anyone who wants to be very organized.

Getting another
Date: 01/23/2010
I got one for the area next to my bedside table in a little corner. Now I can see all my books that have been sitting in little piles all over the bedroom and my husband liked it so much he wants to get one for his books.

great for bathroom!!
Date: 01/14/2010
i ordered this because my master bathroom had NO towel closet. i guess they figured two walk in closets was enough space to store my towels as well...
none the less, i love the bookcase! i rolled the towels just like they did in the picture and they fit perfectly! now when guests take a tour of my house and they walk in there, it always turns into a conversation about where i got it!
love it!
please note - it did come in two packages on different says, so be patient.

fine but doesn't wow me
Date: 01/09/2010
fine purchase, not costly, and minimal space footprint for small nyc apartments but not as distinctive as i was hoping (or expecting). all in all, it's fine but nothing more than that.

love this bookcase
Date: 01/03/2010
This bookcase stores plenty of books and looks really cool. I wish I had several of them. Would probably buy more if they were half the price.

standing appalause for the array
Date: 10/12/2009
this bookcase is so very beautiful and sleek and so nicely compact that keeping my current reading list close to my favorite reading chair has turned into a very cool and easily maintained focal point. assembly is a breeze and quality is very sturdy.

Stellar bookcase!
Date: 10/12/2009
This bookcase arrived in several pieces but it was very easy to assemble, anyone could do it. It is very sturdy and is great for modern design. This was for an office specializing in graphic design so it really fit with our decor, however I am contemplating ordering one for home too.
The only thing that this bookcase will not work with are larger books so be sure to pay attention to the shelf sizes. Otherwise its wonderful!

Eye Catching

We've constantly receive compliments on the bookcase. The simplicity blends in nicely with our modern furniture and open loft space. Another great product at a great price from CB2.

focal point
Date: 10/05/2009
it's so much more than a bookcase! it becomes the focal point of the room and makes your books look so cool that you'll want to re-read them all!

Sleek bookshelf
Date: 10/05/2009
This bookshelf is a sleek, and different, way to store books. Whenever people are in our apartment, this is an item they notice and ask about. It is particularly great for small spaces- we can put it in any corner and it takes up vertical space which is a big help in a small NYC apt.

Great Piece
Date: 10/04/2009
I love this bookcase and had been eyeing it for a while before finally purchasing it for my new home. It makes a statement while also being subtle and simple looking. One thing I don't like is that the spine sits off of the wall, so it definitely doesn't sit flush with the wall as I had hoped. Overall great item though, and I might purchase a couple more in the future.

Form and function
Date: 10/02/2009
This bookshelf looks great and holds books, DVDs, and decorative items beautifully. Also assembles and moves easily - if you redecorate / rearrange as often as I do, that's helpful!

Chameleon book case!
Date: 09/29/2009
My decorating style changes every couple of years, so I was hesitant to buy new bookshelves (having hit a spot of indecision and not knowing if we would be moving within the year following the purchase of new shelving)...
I love the look of hardcover book spines- the colors, the fonts, the design choices...
These were a no-brainer for us- the books become the focus- and depending on what books you choose and how much you load this tower up, these shelves do disappear (from the front- you can clearly see the modern, silver spine from the side- not my favorite-very modern and officey- I'd prefer these in a darker or warmer neutral so I might spray paint/enamel these depending on what wall color we decide on... But if you place this in a corner or a spot with larger furniture on either side that will probably conceal the spine enough.

This versatile, sturdy, and function-friendly bookcase is an overall great buy! It will fit in the smallest dormitory or the corner of a living room. It's a great addition to any space!

Very beautiful
Date: 09/23/2009
These bookshelves are great as they add a vertical element to a room, freeing up space. Would only recommend the taller versions for maximum effect. They may not be ideal if you have small Children unless you weight heavier art books at the bottom. Overall a great purchase. We have 3 :).

Lots of storage in a small space
Date: 09/22/2009
I love this bookshelf...compact yet sturdy, it looks great full and empty. I have two of them...one for the bedroom (does a great job holding bedside books in addition to magazines and notebooks) and one for the office. The small footprint saves space while keeping the books accessible and tidy looking. Highly recommended. The silver finish is a light brushed color and the shelf is adequately bottom-weighted for sturdy storage.

Perfect Bookcase
Date: 09/18/2009
I have the Array Bookcase in orange and am extremely pleased with it. It's stylish, sturdy, and pairs perfectly with the Mad Desk Lamp and the orange Q-Man magnet. It looks superb in my office on top of Green Jeans carpet from FLOR, which is dark green with the occasional orange stripe. Beware that the orange swingline stapler and dot wall hook coat hanger are NOT the same color orange as this bookcase.

great space-saving
Date: 09/16/2009
I put two of these bookshelves in my bedroom, for space-saving purposes. They actually hold more books than one would imagine. I agree with other reviewers: they are slightly less sturdy than I hoped (a little lean). One other small issue is I had a problem getting the black rubber tops of the shelves in properly (just an aesthetic touch, I think). Otherwise, easy to assemble and they look great.

Liked it so much I bought a second one
Date: 09/12/2009
I purchased the Array bookcase to fit in a small area in a bedroom to hold books.
I liked it so much and the size was perfect for a tight area in my bathroom, so I bought a second one to hold towels. It is surprising how much it holds. In just a 16" x 16" area I was able to store all my washcloths, hand towels, kleenex box, a roll of TP and some bath towels. It is well made, the box was packed nicely and very easy to assemble. I LOVE IT. Plan to buy one for my loft too.

great look!
Date: 09/06/2009
space saving and high design - super combo! wish it was a little more sturdy for all my hardcover books - but definitely worth every penny, especially for all the compliments i have gotten!
