I do love this bookshelf.  It really optimizes space in my sons smaller bedroom with all the books he has! I give it 4 stars because, for the cost, I feel it should hold a lot of childrens books. And it does, but it is already bowing or bending forwards because of the weight. So well have to donate some books I think to prevent further potential damage to the bookshelf.  
Great if you dont have a ton of books, very appealing to the eye.
 I should mention its not terribly sturdy when full, so you may have to secure it if its going in a childs room.
