Great for a boys room
"The color is a really rich navy blue- it looks great in my little ones room. Very easy to assemble - the paint will rub off on wall if you knock into it though so be careful!"

Playroom in Order!
"This bookcase helps to organize my children's toys while looking cute at the same time when you add colorful bins. I also purchased the orange bin from Land of Nod, but to be honest, the Closetmaid bins I have purchased from Target are much sturdier. (However, there aren't as many colors available as there are at Land of Nod).
In our playroom, I have two of the 8 cube bookcases along with the light honey Cube Bookcase Hutch & Drawer Base and the Cube Bookcase Hutch & Bin Base which coordinates perfectly.

Baby Room Finally Organized
"I bought the honey 8-Cube bookcase for my son's room. Granted, it was a disaster before with books and toys everywhere, so anything would have been an improvement, but now it is all put away so nicely. I got the coordinating canvas bins as well. The bookcase is beautiful and not at all baby-ish, so I am sure it will be a piece of furniture we will be happy to have for many years."

Great Purchase
"I was very hesitant to buy these shelves because of the price, but it was worth every penny. My daughter loves that all of her toys are in one place. It also has helped keep our house organized. I put them together by myself too!"

beautiful furniture
"I love this beautiful piece of furniture. I had been on the look out for the perfect something for quite some time until i chanced upon this. It was easy to put together ( especially the second time around!). I ordered one not sure of what i would get....by the end of the week i had two. You must order this with the canvas bins. they store a ton. I can't beguin to tell you how these cubes have organized my whole house. My kids are so excited to see everythig put away so neatly. thanks!!!!"

Wonderful!
"We love this bookcase. My daughter is 7 and has a "collection" of everything! We have bins in half of the cubes and it works really well for her. It is very sturdy and secure. It was easy to assemble. I did it myself!!!! I think this will carry her thru the teens because of the versitality of the piece. Thanks a bunch Land of Nod. We love it."

Organize in style!
"I purchased the eight-cube bookcase to replace our "art table". We had a table in the corner of our dining area that was dedicated to my daughters' art supplies. The table was always a mess - piled high with drawings, crayons, sticker books, collages, sculptures, pine cones .... You get the idea. Creative children often leave behind, um, creative messes. The table was such a mess that they would take their supplies off of it and do their artwork on at the kitchen table. What to be done? The 8-cube bookshelf came to the rescue! I bought it in honey, so it looks like a "real" piece of furniture (not just kid's furniture). I bought a few canvas bins which work wonderfully for hiding said creative messes. The shelf itself was easy to put together, is sturdy, and is strong and stable. I had been concerned that it might feel like a flimsy, cheap particle board piece of furniture (the lack of details about its construction in the catalog increased my concerns) but it turned out to be a great piece. No worries. I highly recommend this bookshelf."

Terrific, sturdy bookcase!
"We bought two of these for our playroom and they're just great -- not too hard to assemble, very sturdy, and they hold tons of stuff, as well. The canvas bins you can buy separately also add a nice splash of color to the room."

Really Good Buy
"I bought this item in 'honey' color for my son's bedroom. It is sturdy and a really well-made piece of furniture. The best thing for me is that it will look good in any room of the house, it doesn't look like a piece of children's furniture."

A great piece for any room!
"This bookcase is paired with the 3 cube bench in our playroom and not only does it look great, I could not live with out all of the storage it provides for books, diapers, dvd's and lots more! Very safe and sturdy, does not tip or rock at all."

We'd purchase again!!
"We purchased this bookcase for our oldest son. The size, style and color made it a perfect storage solution for his room. It shipped very quickly and was pretty easy to put together. The cubbys are deep enough for a variety of objects.
The only glitch was it smelled of paint when we got it out of the box. Customer service was super helpful and thought it would go away within a few days, and it did! We'd purchase again, no question!

Super-functional & cute
"I ordered this for my son's room in blue. It looks great and has been a wonder in keeping all sorts of things in their proper places. It's easy for him (he's 3) to shove toys, books, stuffed animals in the cubbies. It was easy to assemble."

Love it!
"We have this in our family room and it works great! You can fit adult books, little cube storage bins and everything else. I love the storage bins to also keep the toys neatly organized and put away. It may not always happen, but it's great to have them there when it does."

awesome for playroom
"We finally got around to buying something to store toys, and I wasn't sure I was a 'cube/cubby' person, but I am SO happy with these. They are so well made and I put them together myself (much to the surprise of my husband) - although I did need him to help push the two sides together at one point. We also bought the canvas bins to put in them for some of the shelves and the combo of having bins on some shelves and not on others is perfect (and also more coordinated than anything else I've done in the house). The kids get their stuff from the shelves and put them back there and it helps to make that part of the room 'designated' for the kids (the rest is our family room). We love them! (but do have someone else around to help you push top and bottom together when you assemble - also be sure to check that you have both sides facing front or you'll have to disassemble and reassemble as I did)."

Good Purchase - Tip on Assembly
"I had recently purchased this for my son's room to store his books and his toys. We have been fairly pleased with this product except for one minor mistake when we assembled the bookcase. We drilled the nails in at an angle which made them exposed through the front of the bookcase. After noticing this first mistake, the rest of the nails were drilled in straight on and were not exposed. Besides that we have been very pleased with how easy it is to clean his room and to store his toys with the totes that we also purchased at Land of Nod."
