Canvas pockets, not wooden slots, hold the books on the right-hand side of this organizer, and their soft fronts let a child push a paperback in at an angle without bending the cover. Five of them run down the frame, deep enough for picture books. The left side keeps a wide open shelf, 2 cubbies and a large lower compartment for blocks, stuffed animals and art supplies. Pine wood and engineered board make up the case, with 5 metal legs including a center support under the span, and each shelf is rated for 22 lbs. Built to a 36.5 inch height for ages 3 and up, the unit stretches 39.5 inches wide and 15 inches deep, giving a reading station and a toy store in one piece of furniture.
