ECR4Kids Single-Sided Book Storage and Display, Wooden, Montessori Furniture, Natural

Superable durable! Very sturdy and heavy book case. Holds a lot of books and looks great in our play room! It was easy and quick to put together!

I bought the ECR4Kids Single-Sided Book Display used, and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised—it looks and feels brand new! No scratches, dents, or signs of wear. The white wash finish is clean and modern, and the materials feel really sturdy and well-made. It’s perfect for organizing books in our playroom, and the angled shelves make it easy for little ones to see and grab their favorites. Great value for the quality. I’d definitely buy from this brand again!

Love ECR4Kids products, and this bookshelf is no exception. It’s perfect for toddlers and really promotes engagement by encouraging little ones to grab their own books. The forward-facing design is fantastic because kids can see the full book cover. We’ve had this bookshelf for about two years now, and it’s held up extremely well. It’s easy for toddlers to reach, simple to organize, and fits a lot of books. The material is durable, well-made, and clearly designed with kids in mind.

Wow. I stumbled upon this and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Not only was the gray ridiculously cheap and delivered next-day, I’m surprised at the quality and ease of assembly. It’s very sturdy and every piece was in good condition. In addition I appreciate that every screw is the same size, and the instructions were very clear. I am 37 weeks pregnant and assembled it on my own with ease. I just needed my husband to move it when I was done. I was expecting to need to paint it to match my soho baby chandler furniture set, but to my very pleasant surprise, it matches pretty darn well. Also, I was looking for a display bookshelf slightly larger than this, but decided the price was good enough I’d go for it. I’m glad I did. It’s an adorable size and will be easy for my little girl to choose from when she’s older.

At first like to say overall, we've been very pleased with this bookshelf since we got it. So far it looks like it should hold up for a while. However, there are definitely some pros and cons to this bookshelf. Pro: -deep slots that can store lots of books -over all it seems quite sturdy -can be assembled by one determed mom -no major tools required just an Allen wrench -just the right size for a 2yr to reach all the book -light enough to be carried up the stairs by one parent at night Con -One of the back panels never fully seated. It doesn't seem to affect the structural integrity and you can't see it but it still bugs me. -instructions are a bit confusing but eventually one can get it. -its hollow inside. I expected more internal structure. If I was going to build this myself I would have more cross support to keep the shelves from sagging ever. -its only comes in one color and raw wood isn't an option either. Would I but it again. Probably not but that's because I can make it. However, if I didn't have the tools and skills to do that I would buy one again. It is worth the money if you can't make one. The wood to make it would cost about the same right now which is why I bought one instead of making one from scratch.

I was extremely hesitant about buying this bookcase. I spent hours researching bookcases and debated back and forth if I should splurge with this product or just get a basic cloth bookcase. At the end of the day, I know my child loves books so I figured, I might as well go all out. As the owner of this bookshelf for a few months now, I'm a big fan. Its incredibly sturdy and it can fit a ton of books. In our little playroom area, this is the main item that gets the most play. I'm glad I went all in and purchased this. At the end of the day, if it encourages my little one to read more, well then it is did its job. I will also add, I have a climber and this product is incredibly sturdy!!! The weight distribution of the product is A+!

I have numerous products with this brand, I am very happy, it’s quality at a great price point.

Love ECR4Kids for preschool/ECE furnishings and learning materials. Like other items I've purchased from the company, this single-sided book browser is built to last and withstand serious child's play. PROS * Super durable, solid birch wood (even the thin backings are solid birch plywood) * Holds a great many books for the floor space * Although made for picture books, shelves are deep enough to accommodate chapter & board books * Attractive, neutral, simple design (I much prefer the simplicity over the gaudy colorful canvas book slings this replaced) * Nicely child-proofed, with sunken screws, rounded edges, thorough sanding * Easy & quick to assemble; one line in the instructions indicated "2 adults required" but I was able to assemble by myself with my two children "helping"; no tools or special strength required CONS * Honestly can't think of any! unless it's that the consistent quality of the ECR4Kids label is making me pass on furnishings by other brands :) [ETA: After reading other reviews, I'd like to point out three things: 1. Some here have commented that the thinness of the boards makes them flimsier. But in my experience, the thinness or thickness of a given material matters less than the material itself. That is, you can have a thin board but if it's a hardwood, as this is, it will still be strong. As it happens, birch is an excellent choice for children's furnishings because it is a strong, fine-grained hardwood that -- importantly!! -- can be cut relatively thin. Thinness is actually a good thing here, because it means that the furnishing can be better scaled to children's small bodies... The fact is, if you tried to make this product with thicker boards, you'd end up with thicker shelves, which would mean fewer shelves, and/or shelves that are less accessible to children. Most makers of children's furnishings select birch (or sometimes maple) for this reason. (But maple is much costlier, way out of the price range for many families and preschools/schools.) 2. Others have commented that their displays fell apart soon after construction. With due respect, I wonder if they followed the instructions to use the provided hex tool or another hand tool (rather than a power screwdriver) and to avoid overtightening the hex screws. If you overtighten them, you strip the holes, the screws come loose, and the boards start to fall apart. But as long as you tighten gently, this browser should hold together for many years' use. Pro tip: Don't be afraid to *undertighten* if you're not sure! You can always tighten a screw more later. You cannot, however, undo damage to a stripped screw fitting. 3. A couple of reviews mentioned that this doesn't fit very many books. Although I was able to pack in about 30 books, in my (ECE) view this is PLENTY because the purpose of a browser is to offer a LIMITED selection of books to children from which they can choose without feeling overwhelmed. What a book browser is NOT meant to be is a substitute for a conventional bookcase that stores books with their spines out. So, if you're looking for a solution to your book storage, consider incorporating BOTH a browser and a bookcase: Use the browser to hold a small number of books based on a given theme or your child's interests at the moment (bugs? dinosaurs? fairies? space?), store the rest in the bookcase, and ROTATE the books to keep things fresh. :) Hope these comments help other caregivers! <3 ]

Good quality, very sturdy, and looks so nice! Holds all the favourite titles and gives a good overview for our little reader. Bookcase arrived securely wrapped. Easy to assemble, we used an electric drill so was finished in a jiffy.

looks great easy to put together and holds alot of books kids love it

Igual a la imagen, viene muy bien empacado y las instrucciones de armado son sencillas. Caben muchos libros y queda a la altura de los niños por lo que sacar los libros es sencillo para ellos.

Love this book shelf. It holds a lot of books and you can see the titles! Great purchase for my home daycare!!

Great product. Fitted it together on my own which was a little tricky. Would be easier with another person. Strong and looks great in the kids room.
