Umbra Conceal Floating Bookshelf

The Umbra Conceal Floating Bookshelf is a clever (and invisible!) way to add some literary flair to your walls, making them appear to stick there with no support.

Once you've mounted the shelf to a wall (all you need to provide is a screwdriver), you insert a hardcover's back cover edge into the little hooks underneath, then close the book over the panel to conceal it from sight. Then, just stack a few more books on top of that. Easy peasy.
