LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2023 **** SHORTLISTED FOR IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023 ****AS SEEN ON BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS**Meet Jamie and his community on the west coast of Ireland, in the most uplifting and tender book of the year'Heart-rending and delightful' LOUISE KENNEDY, no.1 bestselling author of Trespasses'A gorgeous gift of a novel' DOUGLAS STUART, no.1 bestselling author of Shuggie BainJamie O'Neill loves the colour red. He also loves tall trees, patterns, rain that comes with wind, the curvature of many objects, books with dust jackets, cats, rivers and Edgar Allan Poe. At age 13 there are two things he especially wants in life: to build a Perpetual Motion Machine, and to connect with his mother Noelle, who died when he was born.

In his mind these things are intimately linked. And at his new school, where all else is disorientating and overwhelming, he finds two people who might just be able to help him. How to Build a Boat is the story of how one boy and his mission transforms the lives of his teachers, Tess and Tadhg, and brings together a community.

Written with tenderness and verve, it's about love, family and connection, the power of imagination, and how our greatest adventures never happen alone.

Really Nice Shelves BUT....
Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 36"L x 8"D, Set of 2, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 36"L x 8"D, Set of 2
I do like these shelves, they look great for cheaper low end particle board made to look like wood. However I took off stars because they made installation unnecessarily hard. I'll explain.... If you look in my picture the mounting bracket has plenty of options/slots to use. AND in the instructions they clearly show you how to find studs to properly mount the brackets. Meaning the manufacturer know stud distance. They even show in the instructions that studs are clesrly 16" apart! Now get this, the mounting brackets are plenty long enough (roughly 22" without measuring) to mount on two studs 16" apart so the shelves are mounted in wood which is stronger and superior mounting instead of drywall. HOWEVER, THE SLOTTED HOLES ON THE MOUNTING BRACKET ARE NOT 16" APART. None of them. There's tons of slotted holes to use on the bracket and zero of them are 16" apart. Now if I want to mount screws jn 2 studs I have to drill in the mounting bracket to make a new hole. Taking up extra time, messing with the integrity of the mounting steel. I don't understand. It's almost like they did this on purpose. What should have been a 10-15 minute install turned into getting proper drill bits, drilling metal, and taking 45-50 minutes to do it properly. It just put a sour taste in my mouth and that is my reasoning for the 3 of 5 starts. I would make it 3.5 stars if it was an option. Otherwise the shelves look pretty decent for low end shelving. I recommend them only if you're handy with a drill and tape measure. If you can handle drilling the mount bracket to go into a stud, go ahead and grab these.

Lengthy Shelves
Color: Black, Size: 72"L x 8"D, Set of 2, Color: Black, Size: 72"L x 8"D, Set of 2
I love these shelves! I specifically wanted shelves that were very long and that would, when put together, span the length of my room. These fit the bill! Quality: I was very worried about finding something that would hold up a good amount of weight, knowing I wanted to books on these shelves above my head! And I also wanted something with a nice texture that would be easily whipped down for dust. Both these points were covered. I have hade these shelves for several months now and they have successfully held ip a decent bit of weight, is a true black cooler with wood grain detail, and has not faded in color with dusted and whipped down to be cleaned. These are great quality and with the price!

Great shelf for price!
Color: Natural Oak, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 35.4 inches, Color: Natural Oak, Number Of Shelves: 1, Size: 35.4 inches
Great shelf for price. VERY easy to install. We put one side of screws of metal bracket in studs to make it sturdy & stable. This was KEY! Follow simple drawing dictions and you can’t go wrong! Was Leary about some bad reviews but we had no issues. Came quickly with no flaws. Looks great and is very light, but is stable when put into bracket correctly. Size is beautiful with the thickness & depth of upscale shelf. If you want a nice shelf that doesn’t break the bank- get it. This one worked well for us!
