I made these today and they are going in my hallway for my two year old daughter's "reading area". We live in a very small apartment so they are perfect to put in the hall and don't take any needed wall/floor space in the rest of the home. They were super easy too. I even had the home depot guy cut them for me. :) Thank you!! I made these today and they are going in my hallway for my two year old daughter’s “reading area”.

We also had enough left over to put almost 4 - 10 ft. shelves in our family room. There was a higher grade of gutter that would have more than doubled our price, I'm not sure if that is what you were finding. Hope that helps some.

Any suggestions? Are some places cheaper than others? Should I maybe order online? Or did you find them pricey as well?

My kids are reading even more now, if that was possible. Plus, it doesn't look as bad if the books are put away quickly lol. I have another set ready to put in one of the bedrooms already.

We have so many books crammed into bookshelves that are not getting read! Instead, the same books get read over and over while some of the best ones are hidden in that bookshelf.
