Sized from real books
We measured the books first, so you don't have to.
How many books it holds
Up to 300 books
Hold the whole collection at once, or use it as a rotating shelf. We'd rotate — swapping the books each week keeps the covers new, and lets the subject follow whatever she is into.

Choosing a finish
Raw wood or varnished?
Varnished
A slightly glossy coat that deepens the grain and resists water, stains and everyday wear. Wipes clean.
Pick this for easy cleaning and a sleek, polished look.Raw wood
Matte and bare, with the grain and knots showing. No protective layer, so it marks more easily in a humid room.
Pick this to keep it natural — or to paint or stain it yourself.
The original
We drew this shelf for our own kids first.
JoyKids began as a sketch on our kitchen table in Melbourne — furniture our own children could actually use, in a house where the skirting board got in the way of every shelf we had bought. We made one. Then we made it for other families.
You will now see our silhouettes from other sellers. What they cannot copy is why each piece is the size it is: that came from measuring what children actually use, not from watching the market.
