Montessori-Inspired Bookcase

The style of this bookshelf was what caught my attention in the first place and it did not disappoint! The color was much more elegant in person too. The assembly took a total of about 1 hour between 2 people and the instructions were easy to follow. Each piece had a letter corresponding to a step and made installation a breeze. I was able to keep all the stickers on because they weren’t in view, but piece k (pictured in photo) was so stubborn and was almost impossible to take off. Only the yellow top layer came off and thick residue was left behind. In fear of scratching it, I left it as is. Another complaint I have is that the shelves weren't cut to their exact shape. There was a slight gap on the sides of the shelves, as shown in the photos. Luckily the way the hardware and pieces are put together, they aren’t going anywhere. Other than those two minor issues, I’m very happy with my purchase and the shelf is a great addition to my home!

Beautiful bookshelf for our nursery, I appreciate that everything is able to be screwed in (even the shelves are anchored) so that when my little one is pulling himself up to grab books there’s no chance of something coming loose causing him to fall. The instructions were pretty straight forward just keep in mind it’s the kind that just shows photos with no words. Some of the parts were a little harder than others, like a few of my shelves aren’t super flush with the sides of the bookshelf. I’m sure that’s a user error but it also might have to do with the fact that the insides are curved. Suffice it to say, my little one loved it and climbed right inside. The set up is clean and spacious, so much more room for his library to expand!
