A pair of floating shelves shaped as a dolphin, hung on the wall so the floor of a small room stays completely clear. The set arrives as two sizes meant to be mounted together at different heights: a large shelf of 38-in by 6-in by 27-in rated for 11 lbs, and a small one of 23.5-in by 5-in by 16.5-in rated for 7 lbs, which between them hold books, toys, building blocks and stationery. What matters more than the capacity is how the books sit. These shelves face covers outward rather than lining up spines, and for a child who cannot yet read a title on a narrow spine, seeing the picture on the front is the difference between walking past a shelf and pulling a book off it, which is how a reading habit starts. Putting a book back is just as easy, so tidying up stops being a negotiation. The dolphin outline adds a playful element to a kid's room without turning the wall into a theme, and mounting is simple, with 2 expansion screws included and quick assembly from the box. The MDF is finished with rounded corners and edges throughout, an obvious precaution at the height a child reaches, and the surface wipes clean with minimal upkeep after sticky hands. At 9.5 lbs for the set, both shelves are light enough for one person to hold and fix in place. Mounted as a pair they make a cozy reading nook for a playroom, nursery or kindergarten.
