Free: curb alert: bookcases (Hell's Kitchen) Expired Note: Posted 5:43 PM Sat Aug 29. These are about 50 feet east of the SE corner of 9th Ave & 36th St on the south side of 36th. As you can see there are 2 brown laminate bookcases, each about 5-1/2 feet x 28 inches. They're slightly worn but not badly. All the shelves seem to be present (some were dismounted to ease taking to the street). Leaning against the upright case is a folding 3-shelf unit of solid hardwood; nicely made (excellent Romanian craftsmanship!), very clean, about 36" x 28".. The short wheeled table in front of the upright case seems OK save for the corner by the Coke can (good for a 5-cent deposit): it's badly damaged there; you'd probably need to fit a new top. In the background (not visible in pic) are two 2-shelf white units, which might work, but only in a room lit by candles or 25-watt light bulbs. Don't bother messaging me; I've told you all I know. Good luck.
