Variant

The NALA front-facing kids bookshelf is thoughtfully designed to display book covers at child height, encouraging independent reading and tidy habits from an early age. By presenting covers clearly rather than hiding titles on deep shelves, NALA makes it easier — and more inviting — for little ones to choose a book and return it after story time.

Available in both 3-tier and 5-tier options, it features adjustable shelves, a slim, space-saving profile and wall anchoring for added stability — making it a practical and stylish fit for modern Australian homes, from compact apartments to larger family spaces.

Wall anchors are provided with the bookcase. However, we recommend checking suitability for your wall type prior to installation. If you have plaster walls, you may need to purchase hollow wall anchors, as the standard anchors provided may not be suitable.

Note: For best results, we recommend using a slightly smaller drill bit to create the pilot hole, or alternatively using a nail of a similar size to create the initial hole before inserting the anchor. This helps ensure a secure fit and improves stability during installation. Please note that if a drill bit of the same size or larger than the anchor is used, the provided anchors may not hold correctly.
