This was just what we were looking for! We knew it wasn't going to be a "forever piece" of furniture (particle board vs. real wood) but we hope it lasts 5 years or so. This bookcase holds all of our children books in our toy room. My husband assembled it in less than an hour with no issues. It is not as wobbly as I feared, which is a huge plus. We will be securing it to the wall as the cube design almost invites young ones to climb.
