Looking for a MCM bookcase, which option would you consider?

Option 1:

Pros: my favourite, the shelves are modular (each unit is made out of 3 sections), wood grain looks good, seems like the highest quality

Cons: very hard to find these specific shelves (picture is from a real estate listing; I've seen them pop up for sale two or three times in the past year in cities too far away), might need to anchor them to the wall

Option 2:

Pros: each unit stands on its own on the floor, I can get them for a very low price

Cons: uglier than Option 1, kinda cheap looking, grain a bit too dark, wood veneer over particle board so lower quality

Option 3:

Pros: I love the handles, wood tone is the best

Cons: not in a particularly good condition, not a lot of actual space for books

What do you think?

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your answers! You've convinced me to wait and see if I can find the shelves from 1.

Got these six hardwood chairs for free, and I am planning to refinish them.

They're in a rough shape and sadly I have no experience with refinishing furniture, but I found a bunch of very helpful videos on Youtube and the tools needed are not very expensive.

Latest online haul. ~20.4$ total. A 475 Autumn Harvest with lid and a third of a set of JAJ Gaiety, the Black Snowflake variant (perfect for two people!)

Cheap and cute house plans from a 1935 planbook. I especially love the illustrations!

You can find the planbook here: Low Cost Homes.

I usually prefer plans from after WWII, but these look too nice not to share.

Spotted at the flea market: Arcopal cups, Schott casserolles and two different sets of Termocrisa cups.

Pista de pe digul raului Tur (judetul SM), a fost cineva?

Salut, am aflat recent ca exista un traseu de biciclete complet asfaltat intre satele Turulung (RO) si Magosliget (HU). A fost cineva pe acolo? Cum e?

Se poate merge pe bicicleta direct din Satu Mare sau e mai ok sa iau trenul pana la Halmeu?
