Hi all, this is a documentation of my plans and realizations for a small (but tall) bookcase.
Horseshoe, this is the latest in my DIY furniture series - and please tell me what you think about it.

The challenge is to make good use of the available space:
the footprint is 40 x 50 cm (= 15.75x19.7in), and the height can be upto 225cm (=88.6in).
So, with 8 shelves a total of 50 x 8 = 400cm => 4 meters of shelf surface is available.
To the right of the bookcase there is a door to a bedroom, so the right side of the bookcase will be narrower to ease approach to the room, and the shelves will have a rouunded edge on the right.

Give or take a cm here and there, the footprint (=individual shelf) is pictured here
