Kidkraft Firehouse Bookcase

I got this for my almost 3 year old son and he loves it. As other reviewers have said, none of the shelves are large enough for the bigger books. The bottom shelf is the largest and it's just under 11" (about 10 3/4"). A classic Dr. Seuss book is just over 11", so it won't fit on the bookcase unless you lay it down. We have the smaller and normal sized books up the upper shelves and the oversized ones laying down on the bottom. Overall it's a wonderful bookcase for my son.

As far as the packaging/assembly/stability of the product goes... The packaging was fine, the instructions were clear and easy to follow and once it was put together it was very sturdy. My only complaint with it was that the wood was stripped where we had to put 1 screw. I wouldn't even mention that if I hadn't bought the KidKraft Racecar Toddler Bed at the same time and had the same problem with 4 of the screws on it - The screws were fine, but the wood was not. On the plus side, I called up the customer service number on the instructions and they were very helpful. I needed 2 replacement parts because 2 of the screws were in places that really needed the stability and they sent it out immediately, I received the new parts in less than a week and had no problem with them.
