The rabbit portion of that sentence is important: it tells anyone who's ever lived with rabbits why we can't have normal furniture [or if we do buy something nice, why it won't stay unnibbled past the first week].<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dwr.com/product/furniture/workspace/sale/treku-bookcase-33-in-additional-unit.do?sortby=ourPicks">This bookshelf</a>, at a mere $1,126, is reasonably bunnyproof. The bottom is steel, and the shelves start above our rabbits' average nibble height. <br /><br />Ironic that it's from a company called "Design Within Reach", because the rabbits wouldn't agree. [Also, this find alerted me to the knowledge that there is a DWR store in Toronto.
