Comments about Guidecraft Book Display:
The product arrived damaged and got a very cheap looking when I opened the package. To avoid trouble returning the product, my husband just used extra black color screws and drilled extra holes and managed to set it up (good job!). Good thing is that the extra screws are hidden behind the books so you don't see them. After I put on the books the shelf looks fine cause the colorful chilren's books hide most of it anyway.

Comments about Guidecraft Book Display:
This shlef is perfect for my two and half year old daughter and niece (who I watch everyday). It promotes their self help skills because they are able to choose the book they wish to read,and even better, put it back where they found it. I also love the idea of seeing the fronts of all the books. It makes the shelf look much neater instead of piling books on an ordinary book shelf.

Comments about Guidecraft Book Display:
My 3 yr old loves the book display because he can see exactly what books he has and it looks great in his room. When he grows older and requires a different type of bookshelf it can be used as a magazine rack.\n\nThe only minor problem I see is that it does't fit books that are too thick (more than one inch). I would recommend it to people with young children.
