NALA Adjustable Solid Wood Bookshelf
Pine Wood
Adjustable Design
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 homes, from compact apartments to larger family spaces.
Wall anchoring is required for safe and secure installation. Suitable for skirting boards with a height under 150mm and a depth of 15mm.
While we provide the wall anchors, 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.

Wall anchoring is required for safe and secure installation. Suitable for skirting boards with a height under 150mm and a depth of 15mm.
Note:Ā 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.
For additional maintenance information, please refer to theĀ Product Care and safety Guide.
Disclaimer:Ā Sometimes there is an inherent disparity in colour and grain pattern in the wood, please be aware that this is normal with wood grain patterns.

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 š¤
