We were looking for a bookshelf for my toddler daughter and had a hard time finding one that matched everything we were looking for, i.e. color, size, etc. We saw this thinking it was really cute and would go with anything, but I was unsure how large it would end up being. When we got it and put it together, not only is it adorable, it has more storage than I thought it would and is extremely sturdy, which is good because my daughter has already climbed into it to peer through the 'doors' at us, and she loves to line her books up in the shelves. Extremely happy with our purchase! see less

I purchased this two years ago for my then 6 and 1 year-old daughters. I put it together by myself in a short amount of time. I put it in their room as a bookshelf and they used it that way for only 4 months when we had to put it in storage because we were moving. After it came out of storage, before I could put any books in it, my daughters moved their Barbies in and it has been their home ever since then. My girls don't seem to mind that the Barbies can only stand up on the top floor. I haven't bought them a larger one because they have had so much fun using their imagination with this one. One thing to note is that it is not very tall. I would not buy it specifically as a dollhouse for Barbies, but as a versatile piece for a young girl's room. see less

Bought this for my then 2 year old daughter. Two years and three moves (we are miltary) later it has held up beautifully. Holds lots of book of different shapes and sizes. I'm hoping to find something similar for my son's room now. see less

I bought this because I wanted better organization for my 20 month old sons bedroom. I wanted it to also be a piece of furniture that could grow with him. Once I saw this, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for, and I was right. I've NEVER put a piece of furniture together in my life, until this bookcase. I did it all on my own and the directions were very easy to follow. Took me maybe 30-40 minutes. I took my time, I wanted to do it right. It's very solid, also came with hardware to attach to the wall. Even though this is a heavy piece of furniture, little ones do love to climb! Glad it came with this, one less thing for me to have to remember. We toss toys underneath in the 2 cubbie spaces. Holds a generous amount. Hold TONS of books! Bought cute sports themed bookends, gives it a special touch. Love the top shelves as well, great for a small basket or 2 for additional storage. Excellent purchase. Will DEFINITELY recommend to family and friends. see less

I bought this item for my living room to store baby stuff so I don't always have to go back and forth to the nursery. It shipped very quickly and the condition was perfect. I put it together myself since my husband was out if town. At 33 weeks pregnant, it only took maybe 45 minutes to put together. Extremely easy assembly. I gave it a 4 on quality only because it is not real wood of course however it is well worth the price. Goes really well with the rest of my dark wood furniture. And by the way, the Itso 12x13-ish canvas baskets fit perfectly on the shelves. I would definitely recommend this bookcase. see less

I wanted a stylish, inexpensive bookshelf for my gradeschool daughter. I have bought several pieces of put-together furniture and this was one of the better made ones. The pieces were individually wrapped and packaged very well. It was easy to put together. I feel it was a great buy! see less

I was considering bookcas ... see more

I was considering bookcases three and four times as expensive as this for our baby's nursery and figured I'd gamble on a Target purchase given that it was solid wood and the dimensions were perfect for our space. I'm so pleased with this purchase. It took me 40 laid back minutes to assemble while 8 months pregnant -- very straightforward and very easy. The dresser looks fantastic. It feels like a solid, quality piece with classic styling comparable to furniture priced much higher. A great value. The only con is that the finish is a little smelly, but I'm hoping the other reviewers are right that it fades after being aired out for a few days. Highly recommended. see less

It is a nice bookshelf for my two-year old. She is more organized now getting her books and returning back to shelf. It can hold a good amount of books for a toddler. see less

Overall, the bookshelf itself is sturdy and gets the job done. I was able to fit about 20 of my daughter's books. The colors are vibrant and perfect for your little girl's room. The shelf material is a heavy duty nylon, not canvas. My only hope is that the bookshelf were a bit larger. Great product for the money, however! see less

Box was delivered covered in dust, so my inital reaction was not good. Then once we started going through the pieces we noticed one of the shelves were marked all over. As if someone took a wood marker to cover scratches on both sides of the shelf. After lining all the pieces up & counting them we soon realized a duplicate of that marked shelf was also in the box. Yay! Had they not been shipped that piece this was going to be returned because it was so badly marked. HOWEVER, once we got it together, which was very easy, it was exactly what we were looking for our son's room! Fits perfectly under his window with deep shelves for lots of books, baskets and toys. Thank you Target for sending an additional shelf to replace the damaged one without even a call. see less

I bought this for my daughter's room and it was such a great purchase. First, it's a really nice quality bookshelf. Really easy to put together and very sturdy. The finish is a nice soft white color. It's great too because it doesn't tip over and it holds a lot. Had it for over two years and is still like new. LOVE IT! see less

These shelves are very good quality. I was considering some shelves from a more expensive specialty store for a lot more money, but decided to get these instead for our playroom. I put them together myself during my son's nap. I would recommend these! see less

we bought this for our daughters nursery to hold her board books. It was easy to build and very pretty. The paint is well done and not chipping, or smearing colorings. The drawer is one drawer not two and can old just a couple light weight board books. We attatched it to the wall so that it can not be pulled down onto our daughter. The backing is the typical cheap backing but works fine. Everyone asks where we got it, expecting a high end or personalized store and are always suprised to hear we got it from Target. see less

I love this bookshelf! It is a piece I want to save for my grandchildren! The piece was very easy to put together and is very sturdy. It's "child" sizing is wonderful. My daughter will be able to walk up and select her own books for 1yr. old on up. Instead of the books being in a basket or storage bin, they are held in a super cute bookcase! see less

Check out all pieces before assembling. One of the last pieces was damaged, large dents, very visable. [...]. I probably will order a new one because the shelf itself it nice - but a pain to have to try again and that we can't just get a replacement side. Hopefully the new shelf won't have damage... see less

I purchased 2 to replace one I'd had for many years. I like the style and it fits perfectly however . . .I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the finish work. I purchased the Oak and some pieces were a different color or shade than the rest. Very noticeable when assembling the shelf. Varied from a light tan to a redish brown. Packaging could be much better. It was shipped in thin, flimsy cardboard and both boxes were broken open upon delivery. Fortunately no pieces were damaged. see less

Please review the title a ... see more

Please review the title a couple times before purchasing. Another reviewer has mentioned the quality of the finish, so I won't go over that. This shelf was frustrating to put together. Some of the pieces were warped and had to be bent in order to get the shelf together. This also affects the fit of the screws and I had to order a longer screw in order to finish putting this together to draw all the pieces into place. The bottom of this unit is flat with no feet, so I don't recommend placing it on a warped/uneven floor. I went with this item for a child's room because of the possibility of destruction. I don't think I'll be disappointed. see less

The package arrived in great condition within a few days. The shelves were easy to construct and actually come with the baskets, which I did not realize. It is how it looks and of solid construction. I would definitely purchase this item again and recommend it to others. see less

We just bought this bookcase for our sons' playroom! It's awesome! I put it together by myself with no problem (I had to flip it around and on its side, etc, but still did it by myself) of course my toddler had to hand me the screws since they were color coded!!It sits fine on our hardwoods....a reviewer had written that they had to put boards or something on the bottom to keep it straight...makes me think they might have a problem with their floor. It also seems pretty durable, not that cheap plywood that some of the bookcases I looked at seemed to be made of.There was enough space for books and then I used the bottom shelf and 1/2 of the second shelf for toys that didn't fit in the storage bins (that I also got at Target in the primary colors) so it all works together GREAT and I couldn't be happier.Definitely a good item for its price!!! see less

I got this bookcase for my 6 year old son. The color is very attractive on line however these are the reasons we retuned the bookcase, 1.The pieces are different shades of red 2. The height of the shelf are very short so you can not fit any large size book 3. very cheap quality and easily scratches 4. the most important reason,the paint has a very terrible smell even with airring out the room for two days it was terrible it was burnning our eyes and throats. see less

This holds our cookbooks, a small plant and a basket of napkins. It is solid wood, and sturdy, although I did attach it to the wall using L-brackets because we have small children.It did not require assembly; the shelves flip up and the unit folds. It came as 2 separate 3-shelf units and one 'top' shelf. If I had ordered 2 3-shelf units, I would have been able to set one of the tops aside for use as a 6-shelf unit or use both tops and have two 3-shelves units.The shelf spacing is 11",11", 8" (from bottom to top, for each pair). see less

Overall this shelf has a very easy setup. It is not very sturdy, do not suggest having this on a carpeted surface unless you buy anchors for it. It is very top heavy. There is not alot of space on the shelves and the height in between can not fit an 8x10 frame. see less

This bookcase arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble. (I bough two to make a library wall in the living room.) Drawer assembly, which can be the trickiest part of putting furniture together, could not have been easier. But do not let the ease of assembly fool you. This bookcase is incredibly sturdy and holds all the books and knick knacks I wanted to place on the shelves.Once assembled and in place the bookcase looks very beautiful. I had an estimate from a custom cabinet maker who wanted 10x the price to make one for the space. The crisp, white color works perfectly with the decor of my room. I feel very fortunate to have found this item! see less

We had a corner that needed this and it fit just fine. Wouldn't put heavy or large items, but the wife had stuffed animals that were cluttering up her dresser and desk, so this was a natural. Arrived intact in excellent condition in three boxes, and took maybe 15-30 minuted to put together and put into use. No real assembly just placing the three pieces into place. see less

This corner cabinet is super easy to put together- 3 pieces to stack and that's it. Seems to be well made and the finish is lovely. Was a bit smaller in depth/width than I imagined, but that is my calculation error not a fault of the product. see less

I absolutely love this bookcase. I bought it for my newborn's room considering the lack of black baby furniture. It was easy to assemble as long as you used common sense and read the directions! It's perfect for storing the cute baby baskets and other items a nursery needs. Very classy and not too bulky to move. I put it together myself in about an hour. A beautiful addition to any room. see less

I bought this because I thought it would be higher quality because of the price. It's terrible. My husband put together and then was mad at me for 2 days because it "was a piece of junk and not worth [$] bucks". It's going to fall over if we put anything on it. The wood split putting a screw in and the back is a particle board that looks terrible. I'm contacting local store to see if I can deliver assembled for them to sell. Seriously disappointed. see less

I am VERY pleased with this sweet little bookcase! It is on the small size and some larger books need to be on their side, but the bookcase is surprisingly sturdy and holds the weight of the books quite sufficiently. It did take quite a few hands to get the bookcase put together ... two sets to hold, and one set to actually do the building ... but it went together very quickly. The materials are of good quality, the decorations are nicely painted and it is just the cutest piece of furniture! I would not hesitate to recommend it. see less

Delivery was very speedy (arrived within 8 days). I was impressed at first when I first started putting it together, the paint job is beautiful, instructions were clear and simple. I have 2 complaints, the wood is a bit thin for the shelving units, and because Target didn't put dimensions online, I thought it was going to be taller. Unfortunately, many of my girls' books didn't fit except on the top shelf (considering the thinness of the shelves) I'm a bit nervous the shelf will collapse. My daughters have not used this bookcase yet- it was purchased as a surprise. This bookcase was supposed to replace their current one, I guess I'm just going to have to get another one. see less

Cute bookshelf for our baby's room. Nice quality wood except some of the paint either wore off in shipping or wasn't perfectly done. It's minor and overall a good item. Target needs to list the dimensions of the product online and give better description of shelf. see less

Got these because it says it's made of pine, but there's only one piece of solid wood. The entire body of the piece is made of particle board with veneer that cracks fairly easily when putting it together. The small piece that goes across the top as the trim is the only piece that is solid wood. We'll see how it holds up with my 9 year old... see less

This item was extremely easy to put together. Came with its own tool and was put together in 20 min. I agree with the previous reviwers that it is a bit small, but the larger ones cost so much more. We are able to fit about 25 books into this book holder. Yes, 25! However, they are doubled and sometimes tripled up on top of each other, but it's better than them being on the floor. My 3 year old loves it and has an easier time chosing stories for bedtime now that he can actually see what we've got. I can see that when he outgrows the boardbook stage we will be able to fit even more books in. Something you could even keep in a closet when your child gets too old to have it displayed in his room. see less

This was very easy to put together! I'm a women and put it together in about 10 min. Its also very sturdy and looks good. It is a little smaller than I had thought. I think the ages are from 3-10. I would say from 1-5. My 4 year old is taller than this is. But I bought it for my daycare and it fits my needs perfectly. Holds about 12 books nicely ( 3 in each row ) see less
