Quickie review: my new bookcase (Thanks CSN!)

 Mine is actually a darker colored, but close enough. Anyways! Just a quick product review for your enjoyment.

Disclaimer: I received this bookcase in exchange for a review from CSN stores.

I read a lot, and I own a lot of books, so I needed a good quality bookcase that is not too big, since I'm short on freespace in my room. So when contacted by CSN for a product review, I went bookcase searching. This bookcase was a perfect choice. I love the deep color, and it's the perfect height to sit at the end of my bed. You can adjust the height of the shelves themselves, so I'm able to fit even my most awkwardly sized books on a shelf. The item is of excellent quality, and I know it's sturdy enough to last for a long time.


I am incredibly bad with any sort of home improvement projects, so I was a little worried about putting it together myself. However, the instructions were crystal clear, and I had my bookcase together in no time.

As I said, I loved this product so much I now have two of them! They both sit in front of my bed, holding my favorite series and novels. This is definitely a bookcase I would recommend to a friend, especially if they need a smaller one that won't take up a lot of space.

Final rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars! I just love these bookcases - sturdy, perfect size, and easy to maneuver if you find yourself wanting to rearrange your space. Definitely a good deal for the price, and the processing and shipping of my order was beyond fast.

Happy Reading!

CSN stores - Excellent service, excellent products.

If you've been around the blogosphere for... any amount of time, really - you would have come accross CSN stores. Housing more than one person could ever need in a lifetime, CSN has just about everything - from some modern furniture to spice up your new apartment, right down to the little necessities like notebooks and binders. I have been a huge fan of CSN for years, and I'll admit it, I enter contests for giftcards whenever I see one pop up. Just browsing the store for five minutes, I know I'll find at least five things that appeal to me.

In fact, two of my best bookcases came from CSNstores. Cheap, easy to put together, and the fastest shipping I've ever experienced, I haven't found a better online furniture store. When I get something from CSN, I know I'm getting a quality product that will last for a long time. And I really meant what I said - each bookcase was more than easy to put together. I am the farthest thing from a handy(wo)man. I'm lucky I can properly hammer a nail into a board! But both products I have gotten from CSN have been so easy, with excellent instructions.

All that said, I have received the opportunity to review another CSN product - but gosh, which one?! Excuse me while I go browse for the next several hours. =)

Expect a review of a CSN product in the upcoming weeks!

Good morning everyone!! I hope you're all excited to enter my newest giveaway - I'm giving away a $40 giftcard to CSN stores!

Not familiar with CSN? I'm in LOVE with this company - in fact, I have two CSN products sitting nearby, two gorgeous bookcases housing some of my all-time favorite authors and series. But CSN doesn't just sell bookcases, ohhh no! They also sell lamps, luggage sets, laptop cases/covers, desks, kitchen appliances, and so much more! There are plenty of stores to choose from, and plenty of items you didn't know you needed until you start browsing. ;)  Maybe you have something in mind to get, maybe you'll make up your mind at the last minute, maybe you just want to use the giftcard for some last minute holiday gift shopping - whatever it is, CSN has a store for it, and you'll be pleased with the excellent service!

Now that that's out of the way, on to the contest itself!

CSN Stores - I'm in love!

By now, we've all heard of the epic awesome that is CSNstores.com. They have EVERYTHING! Stuff for dining rooms ( kitchen tables ), offices (probably my favorite!), all the way down to pet furniture! Despite the fact that my dogs have way more snuggly places than they should - my one dog doesn't have a bed so much as a throne - I've spend hours looking at all the different pet beds, pet couches, bowls, etc. Not to mention the bookcases! I was lucky enough to win a gift certificate to CSNstores.com some months ago, and I got this little gem..



Free shipping, it arrived in no time, and it was almost too easy to put together! I love it. It's currently sitting at the end of my bed, holding some of my library books that I need to get through. Along with.. everything else I could fit on the shelves. I've already had my eye on several other bookcases and... well everything. They even had some wonderful office supplies... I'm a total sucker for office supplies. Back to school time is like heaven for me, heehee.

Have a wonderful Monday! Or as good as Monday can get.
