Description
The NALA Front-Facing Bookshelf turns favourite books into part of the room. With covers displayed face-forward, everything is easy to see, browse, and reach, from children’s picture books and bedtime favourites to magazines, cookbooks, art books, and treasured collections.
The adjustable shelves can be repositioned to suit different book heights or left out when you need extra room for larger books, toys, decor, or keepsakes. Available in 3-tier and 5-tier options, NALA adapts beautifully to different collections and spaces.
Crafted from premium solid pinewood and designed in Australia, its slim profile and timeless natural look fit effortlessly into bedrooms, playrooms, living spaces, home offices, classrooms, and reading corners.
Safety has been thoughtfully considered throughout the design. Wall anchoring is required at all times for safe and secure use, and the NALA must be securely anchored before use. Wall anchors are included, however, different wall types may require alternative suitable anchors. The bookshelf is suitable for skirting boards under 150 mm high and 15 mm deep and is designed to meet Australian & New Zealand safety standards.
From first storybooks to lifelong favourites, NALA gives every collection a beautiful place to be seen.

The quality is amazing and it feels really sturdy and well made. One of my favourite things is that the books are displayed facing forward, which not only looks beautiful in our playroom but also makes it so much easier for my toddler to see and choose their own books.
It's the perfect height for little ones, encouraging independence and making story time part of their everyday routine. Assembly was straightforward and it feels very secure once set up. Such a lovely piece of furniture that is both practical and stylish. Highly recommend for any family with young children who loves books as much as we do!
We absolutely love our 5 tier nala bookshelf, it was super easy to put together, everything provided. Sits so beautifully on the wall and looks absolutely amazing in our lounge. I love that everything is on show and framed by this beautiful wooden bookshelf
This bookshelf is beautiful, such great quality as I expected after purchasing the learning tower previously which was so sturdy and beautiful. This quality furniture is well worth the price! the bookshelf fits so many books and takes up hardly any space as it is slimline and attaches to the wall.
This is such a lovely bookcase! The natural tone is my favorite as it adds warmth to our playroom 🤍
When my baby saw it she was like wow! She now wants to read books all the time.
Highly recommended. Don’t think about it, just get one.
We truly love this bookshelf
It’s very sturdy, hold all of our children’s books and it fits perfectly into our room decor
I got this for my three year old niece. Easy to assemble and absolutely perfect for all her books.
The bookshelf is exactly what we were looking for. This shelf holds a lot of books, looks great and is of high quality, very easy to use and doesn't take up much space in the room, also it is easy for the children to get their books, and a great addition to our children's room! Highly recommend!
my daughter was delighted, it is very convenient and does not take up much space in the house😍😍😍😍😍
The bookshelf is exactly what we were looking for. Very sturdy and my toddler loves it!
So happy with this bookshelf for our little avid reader! It’s so slimline it’s the perfect way to store a ton of books while looking nice and out of the way. Highly recommend.
I was looking for a solution to store tons of books my kids have and I was surprised to come across such tall bookshelf. It has been the perfect addition to our kids room. It fits so many books, looks good and is good quality. I’ve had so many compliments from other parents asking where it’s from. I don’t usually do online reviews but this warranted one as I love it so much and my kids can easily grab their books (for now they can reach the lower 3 shelves).
We absolutely love our new bookcase. It is perfect to display all of our books.
Very easy and quick to assemble, sturdy and has a lovely finish to the pine.
I love it so much, I want to order another.
The most beautiful bookshelf. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it holds SO many books! The front facing display allows my toddler to be able to see and choose her own books which is greatly fostering her independence. Such a fantastic product for any child’s book collection!
Gorgeous slimline bookshelf! The wood quality is lovely, whole thing feels very solid. Not climbing frame solid, but as solid as you can get with the dimensions. Well thought out design with the kickboard cutout
Just be sure that your wall paint will stand up to the abrasion from having the books stand against it as there's no backing to the shelves. If not, you could always pick up some thin plywood cabinet backplate for a few dollars to fix between the shelves and wall
Price feels very well suited to the product, size and materials
We are so happy with this purchase! The free shipping was fast and all pieces arrived in perfect condition. Our 4 year old and 2 year old love swing their books like this! So much so we are ordering another!
Wonderful bookshelf for my kid’s room. Holds tons of books. I love how the shelves are adjustable. Fairly easy to assemble, however, the mounting brackets were slightly difficult to use as the holes are small.
So easy to install, looks great and is super functional. I love that the accessories come in a little fabric bag too- it’s nice to have even just a little less plastic in our lives
Beautiful and well made!
Easy to put together and my kid loves it!
Got this for my son's books. I love that everything is visible and while he is not walking yet,I know this will grow with him.
Beautiful shelf and great quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a front-facing kids bookcase?
A front-facing kids bookcase displays books with the covers showing rather than the spines. At a child's eye level, that makes it easy for your child to spot a story they want, pull it out on their own and put it back when they are done. The NALA uses this layout across every tier.
What age is the NALA bookcase for?
The NALA works from around 12 months, when babies start reaching for board books, right through the early school years. Because the shelves reposition, the same bookcase holds chunky first books for a toddler and taller chapter books for an older child, so it stays useful well past the picture-book stage.
How do the adjustable shelves on the NALA work?
Each shelf lifts out and repositions, so you can set the spacing to match what your child is reading. Set the shelves further apart for tall picture books, or closer together for paperbacks. The NALA comes in a 3-tier and a 5-tier size, so you can pick the height that suits the room.
Is the NALA bookcase sturdy and safe?
The NALA is built from solid pinewood with a clear, non-toxic varnish, and the edges are finished smooth. Like any child's shelf it must be anchored to the wall, and the fixings are in the box. For the firmest hold, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the supplied anchor so it grips properly.
Is a front-facing bookcase worth it over a normal shelf?
A standard spine-out shelf asks a child to read titles they often cannot yet. Turning the covers to the front lets your child choose for themselves, which is what builds the habit of picking up a book. Add the adjustable shelves and two size options and the NALA tends to stay in use for years.
How do I get my child interested in reading?
Young children read with their eyes first, so what they can see matters. Keeping a small, rotating selection of books with the covers facing out, at their height, invites them to browse the way they would in a library. Swapping the titles every week or two keeps the shelf feeling new.
Will the NALA still suit an older child?
Yes. The shelves move as your child's collection shifts from board books to novels, and the solid pinewood build stands up to daily pulling out and putting back. Choosing the taller 5-tier size gives extra room to grow into if you have the wall space for it.
How do I assemble and clean the NALA?
Assembly is a straightforward adult job, and the wall-mounting hardware is included. Because wall types differ, you may need a different anchor for brick or plasterboard. To clean it, wipe with a damp cloth and dry it off, and refer to our care guide for anything more involved.
