Hmmmm: Angled Nesting Shelves

It was only a day or so ago that I was thinking to myself- after viewing yet another perfectly put-together, beautifully-designed apartment or loft or whatever- that sometimes the decor I see in magazines and in blogs is just too neat.  It's too straight and narrow.  

And then I see these... West Elm's Angled Nesting Shelves

They come in a set of 3, and supposedly, you can mount them in really cool ways... but they are a bit weird-looking, don't you think?  And I don't mean weird in a good way.  Aren't shelves supposed to hold my junk up straight?  How are those things still in those crooked shelves?  Perhaps it's just me, but theses aren't going to be the solution to the documentation of soulless super neat, perfect lofts...

What do you all think of these shelves?  Are they perhaps a little bit silly or am I?
