Solid, adorable, and does exactly what it promises. My daughter reads in her little house every night and it's held up to daily climbing with zero wobble.

Why It Works
Their own story-time spot, with books within reach
A kids bookshelf with reading nook: a cushioned bench inside a 55.1 in house frame.
01
They sit inside the house, not beside it
At 55.1 in (140 cm) tall and 47.2 in (120 cm) wide, the roof frame rises over the cushioned bench, so it feels like a little room rather than a knee-high bench.
02
Picture books face out where they can see them
The left-side shelves are spaced 9.3 in (23.6 cm) apart for face-out picture books, and five open cubbies below — four at 11 x 11 in (27.9 cm) — take toys and bigger books.
03
The cushion cover comes off to wash
The foam seat and angled backrest cushions wear a removable gray fabric cover, so it can come off and go in the wash after snack time.

Setting Up
From flat-pack to their reading spot
-
Build it with two adults
It arrives flat-packed, so set aside unhurried time and a second pair of hands.
-
Anchor it to the wall
At 55.1 in (140 cm) tall, fix it to the wall with the included anchor kit before it goes into use.
-
Add cushions, books and name
Lay in the seat and backrest cushions, face the picture books out on the side shelves and set the name board on the roof.
Anchor it to the wall with the included hardware before little ones use it.

FAQ
Have questions? We have answers.
Quick answers about this product, shipping and returns — everything worth knowing before it ships.
Get it nowHow hard is it to put together?
It arrives flat-packed and is a sizable build, so plan on two adults and unhurried time rather than a quick job before dinner.
Is it big enough, or will my kid outgrow it fast?
This kids bookshelf with reading nook is 47.2 W x 15.7 D x 55.1 H in (120 x 40 x 140 cm), so your child sits inside the house under the roof rather than on a low bench. The maker designs it for toddlers, preschoolers and kids.
Will it tip over if my daughter climbs on it?
It is 55.1 in (140 cm) tall, so anchor it to the wall with the included anchor kit before use, as with any tall kids' furniture. It is a reading seat and bookshelf, so keep climbing off the shelves and stay close with little ones.
Is it solid wood or particle board?
It is engineered wood with a white finish, not solid wood. The name board is a separate lift-off panel and the seat back is a full 11.4 in (29 cm) panel.
Will our picture books fit on the shelves?
The side shelves are spaced 9.3 in (23.6 cm) apart, so measure your tallest picture books first. Anything taller can stand in the 11 x 11 in (27.9 cm) base cubbies.
Can the cushion cover be washed?
Yes, the gray cover comes off the foam, and the maker describes it as machine-washable.
