Calle Wooden Kids Bookcase 90x107cm - Multi

This children's bookcase earns its place in a nursery or playroom with three drawers whose fronts are animal faces: a bear, a rabbit and a panda, each with a pair of ears rising above the top of the drawer. Around them sits open shelving in compartments of different sizes, some tall and narrow, some low and wide, so books, baskets and toys each find a home. It is 107cm long, 28cm wide and 90cm tall, made from 85% paulownia and 15% MDF, and weighs 14.3KG. Paulownia is a lightweight timber with a fine, even grain, which gives the multicoloured faces a calm background.

At 90cm tall this is a low bookcase, so its top doubles as a display shelf for a few favourite things while the open compartments keep picture books and toys in plain view. The drawers take the small pieces that otherwise scatter across the floor: building blocks, crayons, doll's clothes and the odd soft toy. It also stands on its end as a taller, narrower unit, with the drawers in a fresh arrangement, which suits a slim stretch of wall beside a cot or in a smaller bedroom. Either way it belongs in a nursery, a child's bedroom or a playroom, and the bear, rabbit and panda turn tidying time into a small game of finding the right face.

The bookcase is 85% paulownia and 15% MDF with a painted finish, and it stands on pinewood legs that lift it clear of the floor. Care is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. For styling, leave a compartment or two empty beside the drawers so each animal face has space around it, and keep the books children reach for most often on the lowest shelves.
