You do have to put it together yourself, but it's very solid. It doesn't hold a ton of books, but I love that they're easy to see and it doesn't take up much room. It's not too pricey - $150 regularly. I got mine when it was 20% off. </p> [attach=2480/13/mmtjgc.485x428.pbk-1.jpg] [attach=2480/13/mmtjge.485x428.pbk2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-storage#post-781753 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:32:05 +0000 Weagle 781753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have picture ledges from Ikea.

They're in a plastic bin. When we work on our nursery, I expect to have my FIL and dad build bookshelves that attach to the walls. Not permanent but sturdy.

I am thinking of getting something from One Step Ahead, but I can't find it now, GRRRRR. It was a rotating bookshelf that could also function as an end table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-storage#post-780831 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:31:45 +0000 Mrsbells 780831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-storage#post-780442 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:17:42 +0000 Mrsbells 780442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you store your LO's books?
