We like this for our son’s books. No back on it makes it easy for books to slide into the inside of the carcass, which is a little annoying. The screws on the sides don’t sit flush by design. You could countersink yourself but that’s a pain on the butt. Good size for holding baby books, in terms of overall size and the size of the shelves relative to the size of the average baby book!.
