Before I bought the rustic bookcase, I snapped a picture on my cell phone and rushed across to show my wife who was working at Costco. She thought it was great but asked if her store had any bookcases.
“How should I know? You work here. Do you have any?”
“I don’t know.”
I checked and sure enough, Costco had very nice ready-to-assemble all hardwood bookcases in the exact size that I was hoping to find! So we bought two of them.
Did I say that I had given up hope for finding nice bookcases…
