We put this in our 3 yr old daughters bedroom as a special place for the library books (so I dont' have to go searching for them when they are due). She loves being able to reach them herself, and putting books away has become very easy. Its a small bookshelf with a very small footprint. Assembly took about 20 minutes and it didn't seem very high quality as we were putting it together, but it is quite sturdy in reality. 

We liked it so much that we ended up buying another one of these for auction at her school. All the kids in the classroom decorated the canvas portion with handprints, which made a great gift.
