without me telling anyone my parents have magically perceived i want shelves, and i am getting them! teak shelves, the whole structure close to 7 feet high, consisting 5 rows of shelves with three vertical partitions making 15 cubicles of about 34 inches across and 17 inches tall, 14 inches deep for double stacking. i asked for them to be made without doors because i didn't want the fuss of pulling on hinges all the time. the contractor came today to take measurements of my room and to discuss the kind of shelves i wanted. i think i shall be overjoyed with my shelves when they are built - exactly as i want them - the only thing that i hadn't chosen myself was the sort of wood; that was chosen to match the other bookshelves in the house, but that is of very little consequence. shelves!
