For youngsters these sling style bookcases are a much better idea than traditional bookshelves. Books can be stored with the cover facing forwards – which makes for easy selection. The soft canvas pockets mean books won’t be damaged when put back clumsily.
Another benefit is that books can be put back in any order they like. What’s more, they come in a range of colours so are easy to coordinate with existing decor schemes.
