This bookshelf from Colleen & Eric features simplistic styling with an [adjustable bookend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend), letting you be as well-read or as illiterate as your heart desires. Incorporating the bookend into the bookshelf itself is such a simple idea that I wonder why it wasn't done sooner. The 'Hold on Tight' shelf is [minimalist design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balolo-setup-cockpit) at its best. Getting the essentials in a smart-looking package is always a win.
