This bookcase holds a lot of books.  The books are easy to reach for my 4 year old and 2 year old children.  Both kids love it and seem even more excited to choose books during our bedtime routine.  What I really love is that no matter how small the book is, it is still easy to see and obtain.  We put it in my son's room for and I am thinking of getting another one for my daughter's room since we have a lot of books.  Great bookcase!
