For anyone born around the time video games didn’t have an extra dimension, these Donkey Kong Shelves are for you. This revival of the iconic video game makes for some geek-tastic home decor.
The Donkey Kong Shelves are designed with the slants and ladders that are recognizable in most homes as a symbol for one of the trailblazers of modern gaming.
The Donkey Kong Shelves do have that slant (as mentioned) so you may need to find a way to hold your stuff down (velcro, glue…no, not glue). How could a lover of the finer things in life (and by that I mean old sumple video games) not want this as their storage centre?
