More on Guidecraft...
This colorful collection of safari-themed room furnishings will delight children and adults alike. Each colorful piece is hand crafted and hand painted. Images of lions, giraffes and zebras are abound throughout this imaginative collection. The Safari Book Display features deep, canvas pockets for easy cleaning.
Great for the toddler and pre-school years. Holds small to medium size books well. Do not use for big books. Child can take books easily and put them back. Good for encouraging reading skills and clean-up skills!

Comments about Guidecraft Safari Book Display:
The book display is the perfect addition to my toddler's safari-themed room. He can easily get the books from the shelves, and he can see all of the book covers to know which book he wants to "read." The side designs are hand-carved and are beautiful!

Comments about Guidecraft Safari Book Display:
This book storage unit is appropriate for a small child with a limited number of books. It was horrible to try to screw the screws into the dowels - in fact NONE of the screws are flush and three are protruding a substantial length. Both my palms were badly bruised. I will have the child's father (Army Corp of Eng.) try to finish the screws and if he can't we will have to discard the item to prevent possible srious injury to the small child.

My son gets the concept of cleaning up his books. He tends to put most of the books on the bottom since the books in the middle fall forward.

-perfect display for my 10 month old''s books \n-great size for a small child\n-small enough that I don't worry about it toppling over on him\n-looks more expensive than it is\n-painted detail is very nicely done\n-need two people to put it together, one to hold it and one to put the screws in

Comments about Guidecraft Safari Book Display:
Overall satisfied. The assembly was easy but hoped it was constructed better. I primarily purchased for my toddler son's use but my 9 months old son is rocking it. However, I know this is not a toy so that kids at the right age won't play with it this way.
