District Storage Bench/Bookcase with Bin

When we designed our District Furniture Collection, we thought back to the classic storage furniture we had in elementary school. Then we put a modern twist on the design, giving it a cleaner, more contemporary look. One side features a roomy storage bin featuring a solid white lip to keep contents inside. The other side works as a bookcase, providing plenty of room for your little one's library. Stack up to three units on top of one another for a complete, customized look. Safety first - A Bill Eastburn design - Includes Tip Restraint Kit for securing to the wall to prevent tipping - Mending hardware to attach multiple units - Do not stack more than three of any combination of District bookcases Details, details - Can be used as a bench or stacked without legs as a bookcase - Works in both a family room and a play room - Felt lined underside to prevent scratching when stacked - Assembly required - Made in Thailand Show 'em what you're made of - Solid rubberwood with rubberwood veneers over low emission engineered wood - Low emission engineered wood bin front Color options - Stained Wheat with Painted White - To order complimentary samples, please email customerservice@landofnod.com Extras! Extras! - Mix and match with our District 2-Door Storage Bench/Bookcase - Our Strapping Cube Bins or Canvas Bins are a perfect fit with our District Collection

trouble with the legs
"OK, be warned. I ordered two of these cabinets to stack, and both had issues with the legs. On one, the threading was bad and 2 of the legs wouldn't receive the screws, on the other the legs were cut badly and wouldn't line up with the holes for mounting. The rest of the cabinet was alright, but I'm disappointed."

Fabulous Kids Storage
"we purchased the bookcase with bin for our daughter's room - we use it to hold books in the long section and stack games in the cubby - she can get in and out of easily and makes cleanup a breeze!
Super easy to put together and the aesthetic matches her vintage modern room perfectly!

Great for our playroom
"Purchased one of each of these bookcases for our playroom and stacked them on top of eachother. They are functional and look great. Although they are currently in the playroom, they could be used in many rooms of our house. Good purchase!"

fantastic
"I put this in my 12 month old son's room- fantastic to hold a TON of toys. I also like that it is not too tall, so he can use the top as a little table and my older child sits on it like a bench. Very easy assembly, very sturdy. I just added some peel and stick brown corner child safety covers to the corners, they are right angles and didn't want my son to get hurt when he is learning to walk. Great price and great piece of furniture!"

So stylish!
"Purchased three of these and assembled as shown in photo. GREAT PRODUCT! The finish is great and there is enough space for larger books. Well worth the money."

Had to have it and not disappointed!
"I came across this piece on a whim searching for throw pillows and just HAD to have it. I purchased this piece and the other storage bench with the sliding doors to use as a sideboard in my kitchen. It's a nice quality wood and it went together quickly.
If you are unsure about the color of the wood, get the sample from LoN. I'm very happy with my purchase and also very happy that the tabletop hasn't become a place to put all our junk (yet). Highly recommended!"

Didn't go together right
"I really love the design of this piece and the wood is lovely. However, it was sent to us with three front legs and one back leg. Plus, the doors didn't fit in correctly, making it impossible to close them without sanding and leaving strange gaps in the sides. It really is a beautiful design and the wood is solid, but unfortunately ours isn't even functional. We are looking into shipping it back or receiving a discount. I will say though that I love Land of Nod and will purchase from them again, just not furniture :(."

Very practical & stylish
"The district storage bench is exactly what you hope it will be: storage with a sense of style. It's solid and held together very strong. This is not a cheap piece of furniture. You'll be happy with it."

Awesome and Affordable!
"This was the cherry on top to my son's room. This gave that extra "mod" feeling and looks so cute. I love it, my kids love it and the best part, it hides toys! Great quality, I may buy another. Love it!"

less IS more
"clean lines, solid construction, refined details and just the right amount of material contrast (read "white wood accent panel") make this an excellent addition to our home. It is durable piece of furniture that can hold a lot (in our case: books) without looking crowded. It's a piece our family will enjoy for years to come. Well done Land of Nod."
