I have three of these shelves from Wal-Mart, which I bought about three years ago. They fit perfectly in an alcove in the living/dining room of my apt. They are pretty flimsy, and were a bit of a pain to assemble. The little tabs on the metal shelf supports were tricky to insert just right. They were wobbly when empty, but definitely are more sturdy once they are loaded with books and boxes. The shelves are deep, so you can put two layers of books, and on some shelves I store boxes of art supplies and holiday stuff in boxes behind a layer of books.

If I ever move, I will definitely reuse them in a garage or studio, if they survive being disassembled. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone on a very tight budget who needs lots of vertical storage. (And I love the idea of covering the shelves with felt!)
