Review: Designer Sunset bookshelf for kids bedroom

Making kids get into a reading habit is a challenge nowadays. With different gadgets, games and television, books are something that is last reached for. But reading books is one habit that should definitely be inculcated at a young age. One simple way of doing it, is by displaying different attractive books in front of them so that they can reach out easily. One way to make this happen in an organized and nice manner is with a bookshelf. Arranging and displaying books on a nice sunset bookcase will not only make the kids bedroom look attractive and colorful, but will also give your child a reason to reach for the books. The best part of this bookshelf is the vibrant sunset colors it displays. The bookshelf has simple horizontal racks that allow free movement and can be easily adjusted according to the height of the books. The entire bookshelf is constructed in beech wood and is quite strong.

What is it?

If you are thinking what is so different about this bookshelf, then well it is the amount of breathing space it gives your room. This is a bookshelf that has no side panels, doesn’t touch the wall or the floor. So, you don’t lose any extra space in the already composite living areas that we have now days. With this bookshelf, the feeling of wide space is there, rather than a heavy piece of furniture blocking your space.

Key features

The bookshelf has some primary features that give it an attractive look. The first thing is the three standard vertical slot pieces and brackets of metal wall. To make it balanced out with the room, it is painted in white and matches your walls. Each rack is around 32 inches apart, giving you adequate space to store books of all sizes. The attachments to the shelf are very simple with easy butt joints with finishing nails and wood glue.

When the bookshelf is seen in totality, each shelf is screwed to a bracket from both the front and the back end. This adds to the stability of the book racks. To give additional support to the bottom shelf, there is also a right angle wall bracket that is fastened with a stud to the shelf. The best part of this bookshelf is that it’s extremely cost effective and since the shelving system is built out of metal, the overall cost comes down to a large extent.

What’s innovative?

When we in general talk about floating shelves then the first hesitation that we have in mind is about their strength. Most of these shelves are only suitable for displaying items with a maximum weight capacity of 10 pounds. So, it is obvious you can hardly put anything there and we also know that books are pretty heavy. But with this bookshelf the floaters are made of pine and red oak that gives it a very strong support and also can be adjusted and repositioned according to your liking.

Price and availability

By this point you have undoubtedly become interested in this sunset bookshelf. The shelf doesn’t eat up lot of space and gives an interesting look as well. You can actually make a complete library out of this bookshelf. The sunset bookshelf has been designed by the Spanish design house RS Barcelona. The bookshelf has been designed in warm shades of sunset colors and is available for a price of €2350. This bookshelf can be shipped to Australia and is distributed by Kezu.

The up side

One of the prominent features of this bookshelf is the strength and the flexibility it offers to accommodate books of all sizes and weight. The shelves can be moved and hence if you are struggling with space for a big encyclopedia, then bookshelf is sure to accommodate it. Also it doesn’t have any sharp edges or glass work, so it is ideal for kids’ bedroom.

The down side

Sadly, there is one downside to the bookshelf as well. This bookshelf is only available in Australia. So, if you are living outside Australia then you will have to wait a bit longer to have it in your country. The other downside of the book shelf is that it’s not covered, hence dust can accumulate easily. Also, if you have naughty kids and they try to drag and pull books out, then books toppling over are also quite possible. Hence, it is best to keep the bookshelf at a safe distance in their bedroom.

Bottom line

To put it all in a nutshell, sunset book shelf is the perfect way to organize books, keep them safe and encourage your kids to have fun reading. The bookshelf not only adds to the décor of your kid’s bedroom but also gives them easy access to the books they want to read and enjoy in their own space and comfort. This is one item that is an absolute must to bring the world of books in your living space.
