Bookcase
Color: Espresso Size: 46.46 x 15.16 x 5.04 inches
This is super cute for my little one’s toys! It is a little bit on the smaller side which is perfect for our smaller living area. The instructions were easy to follow and it is easy to organize toys on the shelves. Please note if you have dogs, dog hair does stick to the fabric

Fun Little Bookcase/Reading Nook
Color: Espresso Size: 46.46 x 15.16 x 5.04 inches
I recently purchased the KidKraft Wooden Bookcase with Reading Nook in Espresso, and I’m thrilled with how easy it was to put together! As someone who’s not exactly a DIY pro, I was a bit nervous, but the instructions were super clear and walked me through every step. It took me about 2 hours to assemble by myself, and I didn’t need any fancy tools. The whole process was smooth, and I love how sturdy and cute the finished bookcase looks. If you’re looking for a functional and cozy addition to your kid’s room, this is a great pick—and you won’t be stuck puzzling over the assembly! ... show more

small but perfect size for a toddler. misleading directions
Color: White Size: 40 x 22.5 x 12 inches
before ordering, i read reviews that said they found it to be smaller than they had expected so i kept that in mind when i ordered it. when it was all put together, i think i misunderstood what they meant at first. it's definitely toddler sized which i expected but i didnt realize that also meant the sections where the books go in wouldnt accomodate taller books on the bottom row. thats probably not a issue for folks using this for their toddler since childrens books are smaller, but i got it so i could store my own books somewhere and my cat and dog could have a place to sit/lay down and look out our front window (yes, im that type of pet owner lol). so yes, its definantly small and even tho i knew it would be, i was still shocked. that being said, the size is not why i gave it 4/5 stars. i gave it that score coz the directions were confusing for a few steps and not very clear so i had to take it apart partially and fix two minor things so i could complete it. it was a simple fix but still frustrating nonetheless. ive sat on it before and weigh ~110lbs and its been fine. my cat likes to sleep on it but my 45lb lab/hound mix doesnt like it coz its too small for him to lay down. he can only sit up on it so he doesnt use it. overall, i do like this and definantly think i got what i payed for. ... show more

Small but effective. Great packaging and instructions. My son loves it.
Color: White Size: 40 x 22.5 x 12 inches
It came very well package so nothing was scratched up during shipping. I love how organized all the small parts were, each in their own little compartment and very well labeled. There was also a section of "extras" which is GENIUS because I did end up needing to use one. One of the parts had extra metal around the edges which made it not fit in the whole but since there was an extra I wasn't mad about it. They provided everything for set up besides a Phillips head. If you don't have an electric it's going to take a bit of elbow grease to get them screwed in so take that into consideration. The instructions were all pictures which I'm normally not a fan of but they were very clear and easy to understand. Every little step was illistrated so it was very easy to follow. I was a bit disappointed in the size when I first got it set up but as I started putting my son's books on it I was pleasantly surprised that it held every one off his books expect 3 overly tall ones. All in I really love it. And so does my little boy ... show more

Great piece of furniture
Color: Espresso Size: 46.46 x 15.16 x 5.04 inches
I love this. It's not as high as the picture might suggest (I think it's only 2 feet tall) but it works for us and our smallish rooms. I purchased two, one for m 3 year old and one for my 5 year old. They were mostly easy to put together. For the first one, the back panel is supposed to go on last but the holes were not aligned. We redid the slanted side boards thinking that maybe something wasn't screwed in tight enough but that didn't fix the problem. So for both we ended up putting the backboard on after the slanted side boards and then finished with the top two pieces (directions say to do the backboard last). It still wasn't perfectly flush but it works. With all of the furniture I've put together I have yet to have one where every corner and piece is completely flush and where it is supposed to be. The wood seems durable; stronger than some Target/Walmart pieces I've purchased. The cushion has a zipper all around so it can be washed. I'll probably air dry it because I'm paranoid about these shrinking in the dryer. It actually fits more books than I thought it would. The lower cubbies don't fit our tall, full sized books but the top books fit all of them and we have a lot of books. Pictured is my 5 year old. I know she might look uncomfortable but she really does love this space. ... show more

Save your money!!! Cheap quality.
Color: Espresso Size: 46.46 x 15.16 x 5.04 inches
I’m soooo disappointed with this product. I was so excited for it to arrive because I could envision my son curling up with a book in the little seat and it matched his new room. Well, I usually put this stuff together myself but my guy friend offered and I needed the help. I wanted to blame him until I read the other reviews and it seems like many people had the same problem. We have both put together many items of furniture in our lives so we aren’t beginners. The boards were so flimsy and cheap and I believe some of the hardware was defective. There is a nail sticking out of the side that we cannot get out with Allen wrench or pliers. We are both strong and tried everything. I don’t even think I’ll be able to take it apart to return it. It also damaged the board. This used to be $75 and some how it went up to $105 and I really wanted it for my son so I spent the money. Now I regret it! Even if the nail wasn’t sticking out on the side this should only be $50 MAX. It’s cheap and a lot smaller than it looks in pics too. (Yes, I read dimensions before purchasing but still shelves seem tinier in person). Very disappointing and I hope I can get my money back. ... show more

Reading nook for kids
This little reading book is the perfect piece for our little girls room! It came with all the tools and parts you need to put it together and hold a ton of books! It was one of the cheapest ones I found and it ended up being very sturdy which is something I was initially worried about because our daughter loves to climb everything and this has held up great so far! ... show more

Cute shelf, but design problems make assembly difficult.
Color: Espresso Size: 46.46 x 15.16 x 5.04 inches
I've put more than my share of flat-packed furniture together and I struggled with this one. Largely due to the angled pieces and incorrect depth of the pre-machined nut holes. Fully assembled the shelf is quite cute and sturdy. It is small (surprisingly small), but is unique in its style with a seat within a shelf. Instructions are well written and I like that the fasteners box actually labels the letter of each fastener (no guessing which screw is what length). All the wooden pieces were labeled also. So knowing what goes where was simple. The angled wooden pieces use hinged fasteners (D part). I first thought they were clever...but after I put them in snug, then part "E" would not turn cause the bolt was not tall enough. Numerous removal, half turns of the hinged bolt, reassemble and it finally turned into place. Additionally, some of the holes that the nut "E" go into are not drilled deep enough. Such that the nut won't even fit in snug with no matching bolt at all (they stick out 1/8"). I had to dig the hole deeper with a flat head screwdriver. They do include a few extra fasteners which is nice. In the end, it looks nice, but the poor machined holes and hinged bolts were problematic during set up. Note also that those ubiquitous fabric bins that fit perfectly into the 3x3 and 2x3 shelving units you can buy everywhere, are too large for this shelf. ... show more
