The photos and many glowing 4-5 star reviews had my wife and I excited about this book shelf four our toddler. The design looks great, a nice place to put his books and for him to sit and enjoy looking at his books. The first order arrived, everything looked to be packaged fine. I got everything out of the box and prepared to assemble. Step one...connect panels E & F to the left and right side of panel G. Sounds good....except Panels E & F, which are mirror images of each other with pre-drilled holes were missing. They weren't in the box. Completely missing.I thought I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so I decided to email customer service (as it instructed me to on the instruction manual). The manual has no customer service number to call. Just an email address. So I email and explain that I'm missing panels E and F. No response. It has been 3 weeks since the first order and no response. I looked up their customer service phone number. I called and no answer. An automated message comes on and then puts you on hold...I waited on hold for 30 minutes and gave up. Contacting this company is worthless.So I had a brilliant Idea. I'll order a new one and return the old. The 2nd order arrives...I look at all the parts. I see the F panel...all is looking good. I see another panel that looks the same. But there's no sticker anywhere to tell if it's the E panel, but it looks just like the F panel, it must be right, right?! WRONG!!! I started to assemble only to realize that they didn't send E & F. They sent 2 F panels. F & E are supposed to mirror each other. meaning they look the same but holes will be drilled on opposite sides because they are the left and right side of the seat, so the holes on the unlabelled corner do not line up at all with the holes on the G panel because it's not the E panel. It's 2 F panels. It's a joke. 2 different orders, the same problem with the same 2 panels on both orders.I thought I could get around it by flipping the panels and drilling my own holes, but even partially assembled I realized that there were predrilled holes missing on some panels that were supposed to have them. Other panels didn't line up properly or have the holes drilled where they were supposed to be. It's a mess. I'm not sure how so many others who wrote such amazing 5 star reviews got so lucky. Maybe I'm just that one lucky person who got struck by lightning twice while everyone else in the world won the lottery.

This little bookshelf is super cute. Assemble was easy,only took me 30 minutes. All the screw holes are drilled deep enough for the screws and they went in easy.It’s the perfect size for my kids , not overly large not small. They love to sitting on it and reading. The shelves are easy for them reach the books .Only improvement I would suggest to the manufacturer is to have a little bit more space for taller books. I slanted them on the top shelf, but would have been nice to have a couple more inches on the height of those shelves. But overall I highly recommend it!

First off, this was quite a pain to put together. The directions pictographs weren’t quite accurate which led me to take it apart and reassemble, only to realize I had it right the first time. Toward the end, when you put the top shelving into the slanted portion of the seat, the screws are straight but need to be angled to the slant of the seat to work. I almost broke it at this point but was able to literally slam it into place.My son is 20/21 months and I thought this would be a nice little place for him to sit but instead he loves to climb it. Not the manufacturer’s fault by any means, however, the corners are SO sharp. It will be nice for him when he’s older but I wouldn’t recommend it for an explorative toddler.Other than that it’s honestly just ok. The finish on it is that weird cheap plasticy stuff that keeps your fingerprints there after you touch it. I’m also going to get some sort of Velcro or grips to hold the cushions in place on the seat - it slips and slides everywhere.

So first view before assembly, the screws were packaged, organized, and labeled nicely so you don’t have to dig through them to find what you need. The bookshelf material were all nicely packaged and protected. Assembly took me about 30minutes to build it by myself. The book shelf itself is nice and sturdy, holds my 60lb son no problem and I sat on it as well and it held up. The cubbies are nice sized and there’s plenty of them. My only complaint is the cushions sliding off every time, I used double sided Velcro tape on the bottom of each cushion and that has fixed the problem so far. Surprisingly for the cushions being so thin, my son still says he stays very comfortable! I think you get a good unit for a good price!
