Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KidKraft Sling Bookshelf - Natural
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book case is an answer to my prayers. If you were like me I had all of my childs books in a soft bin in the living room and my 22 month old would then proceed to dump ALL of them on the floor. I do have a regular bookcase but he then rips all of the books of the shelf. This bookcase is wonderful. It is small so read the measurments but I find that a plus so my son can reach books with ease. It fits a lot more books than I would have thought when I first ordered it. It is also pleasent to look at. My son now picks out which book he wants since he can see the cover rather than search through a bin. Don't hesitate for the price it is a steal and the free shipping is a bonus as well. I was thinking about buying two but it fits so many books I don't need a second one.Customer Review: Great bookshelf for young toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
My 16 month old son loves books, and this sling shelf is the perfect height. It is best for the larger books, as the small ones don't stick out above the canvas. He does, however, look for the books down in the pockets and pulls them out for me to read to him. It was easy to assemble. It came with a little tool, so I didn't have to dig out a screwdriver. It is also attractive. Everyone that comes into our home comments on what a nice book holder it is for him. It holds about 30 board books if they books are stacked against each other. This is okay with me, as I rotate the books in the shelf. If you expect to display all of the books you have at one time, this probably isn't the holder for you...or you will just need to buy more than one.Customer Review: Great for book lovers

We just put it together last night and already this morning the kids are using it. My 5 year old thanked us for organzing his books! Both my 5 year old and 2 year love books, but they had so many just thrown in a big basket that they only seemed to read the top ones. Now they can see them all and can choose ones they forgot they had. I LOVE the neutral color anad the style. It fits nice and snug against the wall and blends in with the furniture. I've seen the same thing other places but with oversized shipping fees, which were almost as much as the price of the piece alone. Here, with free shipping it was a no-brainer to purchase. We're thinking of getting one or two more for each of the boys bedrooms.Customer Review: Cleared out clutter!
Summary: 4 Stars
It's little, but for what I paid, it was expected. I was well aware of the measurements. We are able to fit maybe 20 children's books. Our girls have a lot more, so they did not all fit. It won't work for thicker regular-sized books. It's made for slim young-reader books. But, they (1.5 & 4.5 yrs) seem to prefer putting them back in the sling shelf over the regular bookcase. Maybe they learned it from daycare. We haven't had piles of books thrown everywhere since we got it... so nice! Quality-wise, the wood poles that thread through the canvas sling started to split some as we were screwing everything together. But, once complete, it's very sturdy!Customer Review: excellent little book holder for all toddler books!
Summary: 5 Stars
This sling bookshelf comes unassembled but is quite easy to put together. Anything I have purchased that is made by Kidkraft has been an excellent product.
My toddler has at least 100 books that she inherited from other family members and she loves to organize them in the bookcase. It is slim and fits snug next to any wall. All of it is made of wood except for the sling part that is made of a canvas material. The reason the canvas is convenient is because if you have taller or heavier books, it allows you to adjust for size.
It is convenient for small spaces, I recommend this for day cares and for parents of children who love to read.
