Customer Reviews
Adorable book display!
I bought 2 of these for my family daycare. They were quick to put together - although I didn't follow the directions for the second one. First, I would highly suggest using a drill. It would've taken much longer to put it together has I used a screwdriver. The display comes with 4 pieces - 2 sides, 1 bottom and the inner wooden dowels with canvas for the books. The directions tell you to screw the woden dowels into the sides first, and then screw in the bottom piece. I found it much each easier to screw the bottom piece to the 2 sides first - the wooden dowels stayed in place much better while screwing them into place because the structure of the display was already there. Other than that - one minor flaw - one of the dowels cracked as I was screwing it into place. I don't know whether this was my fault or a product defect, but it happened. It didn't affect the display, but time will tell whether this one wooden dowel holds up as well as the others.
Aside from putting it together, this is the cutest thing ever! The sides are actually carved out, they aren't just a picture. The display holds a decent amount of books too! And, the kids love to see the fronts of the books - they're much more likely to pull out the books if they can see the pictures!
Good choice for busy parents having toddlers
Before I purchased this book display, I was not sure whether it is worth the money since you can make one by yourself (its design is quite simple). Now I am convinced that it is the right one for busy parents having toddlers.
It is easy to assemble. It is steady. Definitely when the books are displayed by their front pages, it is easy for little kids.
Perfect for Toddlers
This little bookcase is so cute and of top quality construction. It is made of thick wood that is strong and firm, with beautiful detailing. The animals are not just painted on, but hand carved. The bookcase is a bit smaller than I expected, maybe two feet wide, but the four canvas pockets were big enough to stack books side by side (two large picture books or three small board books) and then two to three books deep, so the bookcase can really hold a lot. There is a small shelf on the bottom where we were also able to put 20 thinner books in two stacks. And because the books face out, our little 3-year old really enjoys going to the bookcase to pick out a book (and then enjoys putting them back!). The assembly is very easy, but a power drill will make hands feel much better when you are done. Guidecraft is really good about backing their product. We needed a replacement part for the clothing tree and after one call (to a real person), they sent us the new part at no charge for part or even for shipping. We have the entire matching set: toy chest, step stool, table & chairs set, rocking chair, director's chair, and clothing tree.
