This book display is much more a piece of furniture than a toy, and I was concerned that it might not seem a very 'fun' gift for a 7-year-old girl. But I combined the bookshelf with a "Hooked on Phonics" 30-book learning system, and my granddaughter has been having a ball playing 'school' with it. If you want to foster a love of books in a child, I suggest that you combine this gift with a set of age-appropriate books or a bunch of children's magazine subscriptions, and you'll have a winning gift! It is fairly easy to assemble. (I wasn't sure what Rubberwood was when I ordered it, but it is a smooth heavy durable wood.)

This was a little more than I wanted to spend, but worth it. It is sturdy and will last for years. My 19 month old daughter can now see (and get to) all of her books - and she loves putting them back.

I bought this book shelf when my son was about 10 months old. He loves this book shelf so much, because he can find his favorite books so easily and also he enjoys arranging books. I often see him sitting in front of it, and reading book by himself. He is so interested in books now. This display style book shelf is definitely good tool for the parents who wants their child read books.

Drill your holes for your screws before screwing in the screws. The wood cracked because I didn't. It is a great book display apparatus eventhough the company sent it with the logo placed upside down. Maybe it is so you can read it while looking down at it from above?

I bought this shelf after seeing how attracted children were to the unit in a preschool classroom setting. It seems better than the fabric organizers because its' stiffness allows for more of the book cover to be displayed. Needless to say, the plywood used has a nice soft grain and all the edges have been sanded smooth.

Our 1 year old daughter initially just pulled everything out, then wanted to put everything imaginable into it, and now carefully selects (and sometimes replaces) books to take to mom and dad for a good read. Words cannot express how much joy this type of interaction brings to our little family.

Previously, we just stacked the books and spread them out at certain times to go through marathon reading sessions. Now, our little girl is read to regularly throughout the day whenever she or we feel like it. And yes, she often spends a significant amount of time glancing over the titles before making a careful selection.

It's not hard to assemble but long wood screws and a couple mystery pre-drilled holes aren't exactly amusing either.

If you're patient, the price fluctuates and I bought one with free shipping for $[...]. This is a nice piece of shelving which survived the shipping process even though its box did not. We did however feel the need to put white glue over some of the rusty looking screw heads used in the preassembled portion.

This is a wonderful bookshelf. It was at a reasonable price compared to others and is very durable. It was also easy to put together and came packaged carefully. My son loves it and enjoys picking out a book and putting it back after we are done reading. Great Presentation!!!

My daughter loves books and this case is great for organizing and choosing the book of her choice. She loves to put them back and organize it her way. Easy to assemble with power screwdriver. Compact in a small room.

I am very happy with this book display. I had been wanting one for awhile, but had trouble deciding on which one to get. This one has 5 shelves and was a great price. My 15 month old loves looking at the books and pulling them out and trying to put them back in. It's a great place to store the books in a way that she can still see them. The slots are wide enough for her board books to fit. The thin books, like the Little Golden Books, you could probably fit 3 deep in one shelf if you wanted to (although it would take away from the purpose of "displaying" the books.) My husband put it together, so I can't really comment on that. He had no trouble with it, but he's also very handy.

i purchased this book display after using them in various classrooms in my area. they are ideal for preschool age through about third garde. it displays books in an appealing way, so that children can recognize the various titles of their favorite books. the books are at a height level perfect for this age group.

I brought this product for my son's 2nd birthday and it was worth the money. He enjoys selecting his choice of books to read because of the visual display of the front cover of the books. The front display shelf is a wonderful way to have your child interested in books. I have the standard book shelf with just the binds of the books being displayed and he just passes right by it. Wonderful product and I would definitely recommend for parents with young children!
