I bought this bookcase to put in our nursery for our new baby boy. I searched the web high and low and realized this was the best option. I like the wanscotting, because it adds a nice touch without being too overpowering, and it is the perfect size for a small nursery. It was not too hard to put together once I got the hang of it, and it also seems pretty sturdy for put together furniture. Overall not a bad choice for the price.

I bought this to put in my toddler's room. It is stark white, and her cottage furniture is off-white so I plan on painting it to match. But for $50 you can't find a better deal. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have intricate molding details but the wainscoting does add a punch that most other $50 dollar bookcases don't have. I also put 2 small pink wicker baskets from Land of Nod on the bottom shelf and they fit perfectly. Good size for little ones.

Have had this bookshelf for almost two years now. It was easy to assemble and has held up very well. Searched a lot of places and this one had the best measurements for our room and storing those large board books. Plus, can use it as a nightstand. Not sure what's out there these days, but would highly recommend this one. I want to get another for my 2nd son now.

This was the poorest quality of furniture we have purchased in a long time. It arrived with the front board cracked - we were so desperate to have a bookcase with these small dimensions, we were wiling to accept this, but then some of the holes weren't drilled correctly so the shelf was not straight. Overall, this was a big disappointment. This was the first time we have ever returned a furniture item.

We bought this for our daughter's nursery and I am very happy with it. It took a little getting used to to assemble, but once we got the hang of it, it was very easy. I like that the back panels side in and are not nailed to the back. They will not pop off over time. It's a nice size and sturdy. We are purchasing a second one because we have too many books.

We were looking for a small bookcase for our toddler's bedroom. It arrived in great shape, with all of its bits in place. I put it together in less than 20 minutes and it was a breeze. The case stands to about her shoulder height and it's just about as wide as a little night stand. We are ordering a second one for the other side of her bed, for symmetry and more organization (she has decided to house her stuffed animals as well). I would recommend this to anyone concerned with tidying up a bit with a small, sturdy piece that does not tip over. It came with a wall mount, for extra safety, but honestly the case is perfectly level and does not move.

Very happy with this bookcase. We got it for a baby shower and painted on the top and sides the baby room theme. The case was sturdy and the right size for a baby's room. Putting it together was very simple, just follow the directions. The baby"s mom was very please and loved it.

I needed a small sturdy bookcase for the upstairs hallway. I liked the look of these so I bought one. It was well packaged with each part numbered and the hardware neatly laid out in its own package, making it easy to check that everything was there before you started. For anyone who has put together cam-lock furniture, this was child's play to put together with a clear diagram. It might take a little more effort for someone who is not used to this type of construction, as there were no written instructions, only pictures. In addition, there was a strap safety packet included in the packaging, presumably to attach the bookcase to a wall so a child could not pull it down and be injured, but there was no instruction on that, but I didn't need it for my purposes.

The look of the bookcase overall was nice, but not perfect. There was a bit of a gap between some of the decorative parts, but nothing glaring. The bolts that hold the shelving unit together are painted white, and the paint tends to chip a bit when you tighten them. I didn't have any problem with the alignment of the parts, although a couple of the bolts bound a little when being screwed into their counterparts (don't know what these are called, not really a cam-lock, not really a nut).

I was a little worried that that shelves, which were about a quarter of an inch thick, would not be sturdy enough for my books, but they seem to be quite strong and I haven't had any problems. I ended up buying three of them.

Was looking for a nice bookcase for my 4 year old daughter's room. I wanted it to hold a good amount of books, be sturdy, and not take up a lot of space. This is perfect! Nice piece for the price. And its not a boring white box. So happy with this purchase. We put all her books in it and still have room. When she walked in her room and seen it with her books she was so excited. She said, "Surprise, Ava's library." She jumped up and down for a while. I didn't expect her to get so excited for a book shelf. It can work as a nightstand but a bit taller than a nightstand. But we put her Shrek alarm clock radio on top of it.

I purchased this bookcase for me not for any child.It is really well made. Looks GREAT. I just ordered a second one to have one on each side of a large bedroom window to set a lamp on and to store my shoes and boots. The first one is working great for that. Easy to put together as long as you pay atttention and do things in the correct order. I just noticed there is a taller one in cherry now I may need to get that one too, never enough storage at my house.
