We wanted a nontoxic, sustainably-sourced Montessori bookshelf for our little one. After checking out a lot of options, we went with Piccalio because we already had the positive experience of owning the folding helper tower, and also because of the hidden storage behind the shelves. Love this bookshelf and so does baby.

So happy we purchased this bookshelf for my 18 month old daughter's bedroom! The bookshelf was very easy to put together (took me about 45 mins) and is really great quality. My daughter is easily able to take books off the shelf and put them back on herself. Highly recommend!

- Isabel B.Verified BuyerReviewingMontessori BookshelfI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars4 months agoAs pictured, recommend to others!
We are really enjoying our bookshelves, the assembly was pretty straightforward and didn't require any fancy tools. We did note that if you screw the screws on too tightly the wood starts to splinter so be careful of that, but otherwise the size is perfect for us, easy to build, recommend to others!
- Katherine P.Verified BuyerReviewingMontessori BookshelfI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoAttractive and useful!
This bookshelf is so cute, attractive, and perfect for children! No hard corners and all the books are visible. It feels solid and like it will last and last!
