Furnishing your apartment is half about form, half about function. You want your furniture to do what it's supposed to do, be it comfortably support you while you watch TV or store all your books, but it also needs to look slick in the process.

I'm not sure how well these Prove Shelves do either task. They sure are interesting looking, making it look like your shelves are falling over at all times, but I don't know if they'll do the best job holding your stuff. And aside from the gimmick factor, would you really want these in your living room? Unless you have a bunch of other furniture built to look like it's in the process of falling over, I don't know that they'd go with anything. But hey, I'm not interior decorator, so what do I know?
