Multi-Function Wooden Book Storage Unit 83.6×29.8×85 cm

The trouble with a standard bookshelf in an early-years room is that children cannot see what is on it. Spines mean nothing to a four-year-old. This unit solves that with front-facing sloped shelves that display covers at eye level, so a child chooses a book by looking at it rather than by asking.

Below the display tier sits open storage that takes baskets, trays or the larger picture books that will not stand upright. One piece of furniture therefore does two jobs — it is the reading corner and it is the place the reading corner tidies away into.

Built from solid wood with rounded edges and a clear protective finish, the unit measures 83.6 × 29.8 × 85 cm. The 85 cm height is deliberate: every shelf falls within reach of a standing three- to six-year-old, and the low centre of gravity keeps it stable when a child leans on the front edge. The 29.8 cm depth means it sits close against a wall without stealing floor area from a room that never has enough.
