I have this bookshelf that leans to the right as you can see here. And I keep it that way without repairing it.
Why? Because it reminds me of Krazy Kat's world.
From this picture, it doesn't look so bad, but in person, it is really out of kilter.
I guess I didn't realize that most of it was probably made from particle board or something like that when I bought it since apparently the bottom base is damaged. But I bought it because I love it. And that was 20 years ago or more, so for most of it's life, it was perfect.
It got damaged from a water leak over time. There was a slow leak from the roof over the years and it would leak and stop and leak and stop and apparently the particle board, or bottom wood or whatever it is, got damaged and caused the bookshelf to tilt.
I've thought of replacing it or having it repaired, but it makes me smile, and sometimes laugh when I look at it. You don't notice it unless you stand at that one area in the bedroom, so it's really not an eyesore. And it makes me feel like I am in Coconino County, in Krazy Kat's world.
