Description
This kids bookshelf is shaped like a sleepy rabbit, made from MDF with a painted finish in beige. It has closed eyes with fine lashes, a painted nose, ears that lie along its sides and a round tail at the back, and the rabbit wears a painted jumper scattered with spots in several soft shades. Dividers split the open top into compartments, so picture books can stand upright in one while soft toys and blocks sit in another. It measures 87cm long, 32cm wide and 38cm tall: a long, low piece that sits close to the floor rather than towering over a small room.
It belongs in a nursery or a child's bedroom, and works just as well in a playroom or a reading nook in the living room, anywhere children's books and toys need one home. Because it stands only 38cm tall, a child sitting on the floor can reach straight in and pick a book, and tidying up is simply a matter of dropping things back inside. There is no lid to lift. The maker gives a maximum load of 30KG, so it is made to hold a proper library of board books and picture books along with a few favourite soft toys, not just a handful of ornaments.
The body and the legs are MDF, a smooth, even board that takes paint well, which suits a cut outline like the rabbit's and its painted details. The maker's care advice is simple: wipe it clean with a moist cloth. It weighs 11.13KG, so it is a piece to set in place and leave rather than one to carry from room to room. For styling, turn the sleepy face towards the door so it greets whoever comes in, stand a few books upright so their covers peep over the rim, and tuck a favourite soft toy in beside them.

Frequently Asked
What is the Villja bookshelf made of?
It is made from MDF with a painted finish, and the legs are MDF as well, so the whole piece is smooth painted board.
How big is the rabbit bookshelf?
It is 87cm long, 32cm wide and 38cm tall, a long, low piece that sits comfortably along a bedroom or nursery wall.
How much weight can it hold?
The maker gives a maximum load of 30KG, which leaves room for a good run of children's books alongside soft toys and small favourites.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it clean with a moist cloth, which is the maker's care advice for the painted MDF finish.
How heavy is the bookshelf?
It weighs 11.13KG, so it is a solid piece that is best set in its place in the room and left there.
Is it only for books?
No. The open compartments take books, soft toys, blocks and other little favourites, so it works as toy storage as much as a bookshelf.
