Professional library shelving, solid wood, needs a good home. Unit is 82 inches high, 74 inches wide, 21.5 inches deep. Double-sided, with six movable shelves and one fixed bottom shelf in each of its four quadrants. Each shelf is 3 feet long; total 84 feet of shelf space. All components (including all 24 shelves and the 96 shelf supports) are present and in very fine condition. The unit is located in Wixom, Michigan, and is free to anyone who is willing to disassemble it, carry it upstairs, and take it away. First come, first served. Contact: Dr. Jerome T. Walsh. Phone: 214-415-1251. (That's a Texas number, but it's a cellphone, and I'm in Wixom closing up a home).
