Doesn't look very comfortable. Some extra padding would help!
The padding seems redundant once you land on the floor after it tips over.
that's not a chair with a bookcase, that's a bookcase with a chair... big difference...

Now THAT'S uncomfortable.
"Not for highway use."
Heh.
This picture is useless without measured drawings.
I can see how this could be a great solution for me. I have books everywhere in my living room. That would make it neat.
This could be an excellent contender for the Unshelved "Pimp my bookcart" contest .
Conceptually I love it (my wife and I are always looking for ways to wedge more books into our living space).
Realistically though it looks like one of the least comfortable, un-child-safe pieces of furniture one could wish to own.
Bit of a design flaw, considering that the books will fall out of the arm-rests when you wheel the thing around.
Does four things, none of them well.
- dim light
- limited storage
- uncomfortable seat
- wobbly transport
Looks like something Rand Peltzer from "Gremlins" would invent (cf. the "Bathroom Buddy").
Doesn't even look like you safely balance a cup of tea on the arm.
This chair=FAIL
Definitely needs some cushions...but it's a great idea!
Definitely a proto-type. Ditch the wheel and the teeny light and you might be on to something.
Dear God I would for to sex criminals for to have this bookcase chair
god bless america

Post #15 is the best comment EVER.
It should have non-slip material lining the bottom of each shelf so the books don't fall out. And since it's been such a big deal lately, I'm wondering if the lamp is an incandescent or a CFB...
It didn't come out as well as I hoped, but here's a replica for Second Life! I'm kind of a bilbiophile (I've been making/collecting books on SL) so this made a good building project for me. I'm going to work on improving it in the 2.0 version with the lamp (which I forgot) and maybe the trim (Not sure how to do that except to either use lots of parts, or make my own texture).
Sorry, here's the picture.
