This bookshelf is absolutely adorable for our 4 year old daughter. It holds all her books and serves its purpose while keeping her room cute and fun. The details in the paintings are impressive. It is quite sturdy and appears to be durable. It was pretty easy for my husband to put together. The only thing I wish was different is that the pull out drawer had more support. When you open it up, it falls down because there is no sliding support pieces.
