    Eco-Friendly Finish
    Finished in safe water lacquer which has low VOCs and is virtually odourless. It’s better for the planet, the producers and your family.

    Handmade Finish
    Our designs are handmade and finished with water lacquer. We could have coated the wood with a thick, solvent based acrylic, but we made an ethical choice. Water lacquer is a safe, eco-friendly finish that shows the natural imperfections and grain patterns in the wood. It means your product will have a natural look in style and finish, with the charm of a handmade product.

    Originality Guaranteed
    Copyrighted and trademarked design.

    Design Classic
    The original design was a first, and changed the concept of what a ‘good’ kids bookcase should do.

    Investment Buy
    Will last for at least 10 years and can be passed on.

Fitting Your Bookcase To the Wall
The bookcase is designed to rest on the floor, at about 5cm from the wall. For safety, you will need to screw the top of the bookcase into the wall. The bookcase will lean towards the wall at a slight angle, leaving space for dado rails and skirting boards (skirting boards up to 30cm high).

Wear and tear might mean a letter goes missing from your bookcase. If it happens, get in touch and we’ll make sure your bookcase has a complete alphabet once more.

For your child’s safety, we leave the screws uncovered. The bookcase is designed for very small children to use, and a cap or cover on the screws would be a choking hazard.

The heights of the shelves mean small and large books fit neatly.
Small books don’t get lost, and large books have a home on the differently sized shelves.


The dimensions of each shelf are:

Top, open shelf: height 21.2 in
Second shelf down: height 9 in
Third shelf down: height 7 in
Bottom, fourth shelf: height 10.6 in
Just a reminder, each shelf is 30.3 in wide and 2.8 in deep.
