Description:
"A witty, literate and, most of all, convincing reflection.[Ackoff] shines an often bright light into corners where problems hide, showing the manager how to understand the consequences of his own behavior; identify real, rather than supposed, elements of problems; perceive another's aims; determine what is controllable; and deal with other nettlesome factors." --Inc. The Art of Problem Solving Russ Ackoff--author, consultant, and teacher extraordinaire. During his long career, he has shown thousands of managers, architects, engineers, attorneys, advertising people, software developers, and scientists the way to more creative, artful problem solving. This new paper edition of The Art of Problem Solving is perhaps the best example of Ackoff in action. Step by step, this practical guide shows you how to develop an understanding of the art of creative thinking and the design of creative solutions. Using "Ackoff's Fables"--humorous yet eminently practical parables, based on real problems by real managers--you'll see why solving a problem seldom solves the problem, but why approaching it from a new, unorthodox angle often does. The result is vintage Ackoff--controversial, funny, and always on target. If you like to dig beyond simple solutions--to imaginative solutions that work--this book is for you.

Amazing purchase, so happy with it
Color: 3. Weathered Grey, Color: 3. Weathered Grey
Amazing purchase, it’s so beautiful, I love it so much! Been working from home, and had to turn my kitchen table into a table/work desk hybrid. I was sick of all the clutter on it, so I got this shelf and it worked like a charm. It’s so pretty, great quality, and the PERFECT SIZE. I bolted it into the wall right above my table and it’s really sturdy. The materials and design are beautiful and very high quality (especially for the reasonable price- I could see home stores charging $100 for this, easy). My only complaint is that they didn’t drill pilot holes in the wood planks, so screwing in the metal side pieces was a little annoying... I don’t think it would be possible without at least an electric screwdriver (or drill). Other than that, installing it was fine and now I love it so much. I’m tempted to get more for the other rooms in my apartment- it’s really the perfect shelf. It’s super multi-functional for organization/storage and decor + very affordable for the superior quality and appearance.

Easy way to have homemade looking storage/display!
Color: 1. Carbonized Black, Color: 1. Carbonized Black
I wanted something that didn't look cookie cutter, like I bought it at Home Depot. This is very high quality and the perfect size for any small spot that you want to highlight. The quality is excellent. It has a real rustic vibe. I couldn’t wait to find it the perfect “home” in my apartment.
It's sturdy enough to hold a bunch of big books without bowing and can just be wiped down. It was really easy to put up without much trouble.
This shelf looks great!
UPDATE: PICTURE OF FINISHED PROJECT! Adorable!

Great for plants
Color: 1. Carbonized Black, Color: 1. Carbonized Black
I gave this a 4 on easy to install and sturdiness because I wasn’t able to actually drill it into the wall because of the way my apartment wall is, not this product, so I cannot speak much on those 2 fields.
However, this has found a lovely home on top of my bedroom’s radiator and it works great for my plants! It stands up straight on it’s own and I only need to place it on the radiator and do not need to tie/drill it to something else to keep it standing up. Would recommend for someone looking for a cute shelf on a counter top as well.
