Description
A space saver bookshelf for kids — front facing, so every cover shows, in 80 cm of wall.
Holds up to 200 books across five tiers. 145 cm tall, 80 cm wide, only 12 cm deep — built for the narrow wall a 120 cm bookcase will not fit: a nursery, a rented bedroom, the end of a hallway.
✦ Why this one — the narrow one. Five front-facing tiers in 80 cm of wall: the space between a door and a corner, or the narrow end of a shared room.
✦ Front facing at child height — covers out, not spines, so a baby or toddler picks a book by looking, not by asking. It is what makes a kids bookshelf get used.
✦ A low front lip — it stops a book sliding off without crossing the cover, so the whole front stays visible. It doubles as a slim toy shelf: soft toys, figurines, trucks.
✦ Wall-fixed, kit included — anchoring hardware and instructions in the box, about 30 minutes to build, and pre-cut to clear skirting boards.
Five tiers · up to 200 books · 145 × 80 × 12 cm · solid pine · raw or varnished.

SpaceSaver bookshelf — lips, no bars
Five front-facing tiers, in 80 cm of wall.
The JORY 5 needs 120 cm of clear wall. This one needs 80 — the space between a door and a corner, or the narrow end of a shared room.
There are no bars on this one. Where the JORY 5 carries a bar as well as a lip, this shelf has the lip alone — low enough that the whole cover shows, tall enough that books stay put.
Five tiers, cut to the heights children's books actually are, and just 12 cm deep.
How many books it holds
Up to 200 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/he is into.
Three sizes

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 showing, no knots. 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.
More than books
It shows a collection as well as it shows books.
Because that lip sits low and nothing else crosses the front, whatever stands on these tiers stays in full view.
Families use them for soft toys lined up by size, for figurines, for the shells and rocks that come home from every holiday. Face-out was drawn for picture books; it turns out to work for anything a child wants to look at.
