Small, durable and easy to assemble, this elegant shelf unit from woodcraft designers Turn a New Leaf is perfect place for youngsters to store their belongings. Made of Baltic birch, the five pieces simply slide together and are locked into place with the back panel. No screws, no hammers (and no sore thumbs). In keeping with the intelligent design, all the edges and corners are rounded to keep little hands, fingers and heads safe. The wood’s unfinished and satin smooth, ready for your decorative magic.
