It’s much smaller than we anticipated (sure, I should have looked at the dimensions), both overall and the shelves. Most of my daughter’s books are too tall for the shelves. It is very flimsy, especially on carpet. We obviously mounted it, with good reason... a toddler could tip it over with one hand. 

The instructions didn’t indicate the position of the boards (white side or pink side) just which board, so you have to guess which side went up or down. 

Oh well. You live and learn.
