Product Overview
The Humble Crew Four-Tier Kids Bookshelf is an organizer for children's books that faces out toward you so it will be easier for kids to view the books they want to read. Each of the four fabric slings in this shelf holds children's books in a way that allows kids to see the cover of each book as opposed to having to store books spine first which is how most bookshelves are built.
The low height of this organizer makes it perfect for use in a bedroom, nursery, playroom or other space where kids have a designated area for reading. This also works well for classroom reading areas. The wooden sides help support the slings and at the same time keep the whole product small and compact to fit into the smallest of spaces.
Customers Say
Many parents enjoy the front-facing aspect of this product as it allows children to view book covers and select their own books on their own. Buyers have mentioned that due to its compact size, this product is ideal for use in a bedroom, nursery or playroom and takes up very little floor space.
Several reviewers have stated that assembling this product is easy and generally takes very little time using standard tools. Most customers have found the four sling tiers to be beneficial as they are able to store an ample number of picture books and children's reading material.
A few reviewers have reported that since the storage compartments are made out of fabric, it may be difficult to locate some books especially those which are thicker when the organizer has been fully loaded. Some reviewers have also mentioned that this product appears somewhat light weight once assembled and therefore placement and stability should be tested prior to placing into service.

Bottom Line
The Humble Crew Four-Tier Kids Bookshelf offers a practical alternative to bookshelves that are out of sight or inaccessible. Its best attributes include its front facing slant design, four levels of shelf space, small size, and low level so children can view their books at their eye level. It is particularly effective as a display for picture books in nurseries, bedrooms, and playrooms. While there may be less capacity than a traditional bookcase depending on how many volumes you plan to store, this product makes it easy to create an area for children to read by organizing the books in a way they will find useful.
