Sling Bookshelf Review

Kidkraft sling shelf

Hmm..looked great on the website..and then it arrives. YEEOUCH!

In short..child sized ( which is code for tiny) and the books that aren't swallowed up completely are only half on display. The ratio of amount of space this takes up to how many books it can actually store is a bit ridiculous. On the plus side, it's so much better than displaying books by the spine and it's just her size which means no wild pointing to the ones she can't reach. The little bins are geat for holding books to rotate on display. In all honesty, though, we have too many books to have to find alternate storage for so it's just not a good value for money for us.

 It looks darling but rates low on practicality.

Do a search on rain gutter shelves (try Flickr for some great photos and ideas) and save yourself $69.99.
