"I loved the style of this bookcase as soon as I saw it. There are other Jenny Lind styles out there, but the top shelf is what characterizes this piece. The turning on the spindles is unique, too.
I had a white Jenny Lind crib, when I was born & was looking for a piece to accent my daughters room.
I looked all over and Land of Nod had the best picks for this style.
I bought this bookcase about one year ago online. It was shipped in one box. I put it together myself.
My daughter is already 16 months old and she uses it everyday.
She can easily grab her own books to read and toys to play with from the bottom 2 shelves. I keep her lamp and photo albums on the top shelf & special books on the second shelf.
It, like any bookcase, ought to placed close to a wall. But the design of it is so airy and light, it doesn't weigh down the room. That makes it stand out.
Many people comment on how nice it is, some assume it's an antique... which is great because the price was right. I have an antique armoire in the room in a dark stain finish, of a totally different style & it works!
It looks great in person. The shelves are well finished & very easy to keep clean. Love it!!!"
