This is a fantastic little bookcase; perfect for our son's cars, trains, and planes theme room. It could be a little bigger for tall books but overall it is a nice size and a great buy for the price.

We bought this item for our children library. We are very pleased with it! Our children love it and it has enough space for many books, except that big size books might not always fit, but most books will. The colors are beautiful and fun...the size is perfect for any age! We would recommend it to anyone interested in buying a bookcase for their children!

I got this for my almost 3 year old son and he loves it. As other reviewers have said, none of the shelves are large enough for the bigger books. The bottom shelf is the largest and it's just under 11" (about 10 3/4"). A classic Dr. Seuss book is just over 11", so it won't fit on the bookcase unless you lay it down. We have the smaller and normal sized books up the upper shelves and the oversized ones laying down on the bottom. Overall it's a wonderful bookcase for my son.

As far as the packaging/assembly/stability of the product goes... The packaging was fine, the instructions were clear and easy to follow and once it was put together it was very sturdy. My only complaint with it was that the wood was stripped where we had to put 1 screw. I wouldn't even mention that if I hadn't bought the KidKraft Racecar Toddler Bed (Linked here: KidKraft Racecar Toddler Bed ) at the same time and had the same problem with 4 of the screws on it - The screws were fine, but the wood was not. On the plus side, I called up the customer service number on the instructions and they were very helpful. I needed 2 replacement parts because 2 of the screws were in places that really needed the stability and they sent it out immediately, I received the new parts in less than a week and had no problem with them.

LOVE IT! A little time consuming to put together but sturdy when finished. This could serve as a bookcase, dollhouse for boys or just a cute bedside table. Love that it isn't Made in China but Indonesia. Reasonable shipping costs given the weight.

This is a very nice bookcase that my son likes a lot. The only drawback I can see is that none of the section is tall enough for oversized books.

We recently got this for our son's fire truck bedroom and it looks great. It was really easy to put together and the quality of the materials are really apparent. My son loves the bell in the front and I love the different compartments for books, toys...etc.

Good buy - would totally recommend!

This is a very nice quality shelf. My husband assemled it with no problem. It is sturdy and we have had no problems with it - the paint job is nicely done, too. I wouldn't classify it as a toy though - it is a shelf that you can use as a prop for toys (firefighter guys) if you want.

When I was looking for a bookshelf for my son's room, I came across this. I worried that it would be cheap and flimsy because of previous experiences wi other products but I needed something.. So I decided to try this one. Wow! It is durable, easy to put together, and looks great! Yes, the bigger board books don't fit, but if you lay them down flat, then it's fine. Not many shelves out there anyway that could accommodate these books! Five stars!

My 3 yr old son loves his fire engine bookshelf and bed combo. Everytime we have relatives or friends over, he drags them upstairs to show the set to them.
Wanted to commend KidKraft for the excellent customer service provided. One of the pieces came with a slight but noticeable scratch. I went on the KidKraft website, filled out some basic information (just name, address and the blemish part), and a new piece was delivered to my house in 3 business days!

My son loves this bookshelf. Lots of room. Great details in the screws - match the paint job of the bookshelf. Durable, sturdy and fun.
