Industrial Stacking Shelves

You probably already know that here in the UK we live in the smallest houses in Europe. Two years ago a study from Cambridge University found that the average new build home was 76sqm (818 sq ft)  as opposed to 137sqm (1474 sq ft) in Denmark.

But I don’t live in a new build, I hear you say. Well nor do I, so let’s take an average figure shall we? Floor space in the average British property is 85sqm compared with 98 in the Netherlands, 88 in Ireland and 77 in Greece.

All that is just a long winded way of showing you these clever brass tables which, when stacked, turn into shelving. The point being that multi-purpose furniture is always a winner in The Mad House. This has a variety of uses – great with plants, good for kitchen stuff, handy in the sitting room for books, a glass of wine, another plant and the TV remote – you get the idea.

Keep it stacked as a display unit for most of the time and then use as small side tables when guests come round and need somewhere to put their cup of tea/fancy cocktail. Put one either side of the bed and then, when needed, bring it out into another room. Or have two either side of the bed; it’s always useful to have place to store all those books you’re never going to get round to reading. You know – the worthy literary ones that always work their way to the bottom of the pile in favour of the page turning pot boiler. I know, you’re tired. Who can concentrate that late at night? You want to be able to read three pages, turn the light out and reread two of them the next day.

So, stacking shelves a hundred and sixty nine quid, possibly more useful than you could imagine. They’re from Rockett st George.
