Named a best book of 2017 by NPR, The Guardian, Slate, NYLON and The Globe and Mail (Canada)

From Durga Chew-Bose, "one of our most gifted, insightful essayists and critics" (Nylon), comes a warmly considered meld of criticism and memoir (New Yorker), a lyrical and piercingly insightful debut collection of essays about identity and culture.

Too Much and Not the Mood is a beautiful and surprising exploration of what it means to be a first-generation, creative young woman working today. On April 11, 1931, Virginia Woolf ended her entry in A Writer's Diary with the words "too much and not the mood" to describe her frustration with placating her readers, what she described as the "cramming in and the cutting out." She wondered if she had anything at all that was truly worth saying.

The attitude of that sentiment inspired Durga Chew-Bose to gather own writing in this lyrical collection of poetic essays that examine personhood and artistic growth. Drawing inspiration from a diverse group of incisive and inquiring female authors, Chew-Bose captures the inner restlessness that keeps her always on the brink of creative expression.

Put shelves in before connecting the sides
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
Once it’s put together, it’s very nice. I will caution you to remember that the two sides do not get attached before you put in the shelves. You cannot put the shelves in once the two sides are connected. If you remember that, the assembling is not so bad..

👍👍
Color: White, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
I love how it makes my laundry area looks, It fit perfectly in the small space between the wall and the washer. I would have like if the big containers of detergent fit better in the lower shelves, but I made it work. It's not adjustable, the quality it pretty good, no complaints about the quality, assembly was easy and it's pretty stable.

Sturdy and safe, but would like taller drawers
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches), Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
It is sturdy, safe, kind of any to put together. I just wish the drawers were higher to better fit products in. But I like how they roll from underneath!

Great for small spaces
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches), Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(8 inches)
I use this to hold a ton of stuff. I have a very small trailer so I need to store stuff with height for make space. I like that the drawers slide out, it makes it easy to use. I have clothes and fabric on this currently. This built very easily. It’s not the sturdiest away from a wall, I’d be afraid my toddler would knock it over if it wasn’t shoved in a corner like this. But overall it’s nice, convenient storage. I do like the faux wood appearance on top, I am too short to get a good photo of that but it’s a nice touch and makes it look a little nicer. Once again this is great for small spaces to give you maximum storage without taking up floor space.

Cheap for a reason
Color: Black, Size: 6 Tier(13 inches)
Missing a support bar so I have to return it. The provided hardware is very soft so good thing I dont plan on taking it apart because the allen bolts would not survive. Good idea but not the best quality.
