Sorry for the blurry before picture!
The owner wanted a stack of books (on that little wooden table) to reach the ceiling. Seriously. This is going to be fun.
We've secured a cable to the ceiling, drilled the books, and attached the little table to the wall for stability.
The best part is when you touch the books, they wobble like they're going to fall. But, because they're attached to the floor, wall, and ceiling, they'll move but won't topple.
Definitely a conversation piece!
