The Story
Geraldine-Portrait-e1552989823873
Everything I make is designed to be fun and enjoyable for children, to draw them in and foster their sense of independence. I created the Tidy Books bookcase because ordinary children's bookcases decorated or not made no sense to me - books fall out. Plus how can you put such thin books of different sizes on an ordinary shelf?  A box doesn't work either as the kids can’t see the covers. I wanted something that works well for kids and their books and looks good too, so I created the original Tidy Books children's bookcase for my daughter, Adele in 2004.  And this changed the way books are presented to children in the home. I make sure all my designs are stripped back to keep them looking stylish so they blend easily into a home. It’s about creating a timeless classic that can be passed down through the generations. My designs give kids the freedom to discover their world by themselves- because kids really do know best.
Geraldine Founder and Designer of Tidy Books
Fitting

Fitting Your Bookcase To the Wall

The bookcase is designed to rest on the floor, at about 5cm from the wall. For safety, you will need to screw the top of the bookcase into the wall. The bookcase will lean towards the wall at a slight angle, leaving space for dado rails and skirting boards (skirting boards up to 30cm high).

Wear and tear might mean a letter goes missing from your bookcase.  If it happens, get in touch and we’ll make sure your bookcase has a complete alphabet once more.

For your child’s safety, we leave the screws uncovered.  The bookcase is designed for very small children to use,  and a cap or cover on the screws would be a choking hazard.

The heights of the shelves mean small and large books fit neatly.

Small books don’t get lost, and large books have a home on the differently sized shelves.

The dimensions of each shelf are:

  • Top, open shelf: height 21.2 in
  • Second shelf down: height 9 in
  • Third shelf down: height 7 in
  • Bottom, fourth shelf: height 10.6 in
  • Just a reminder, each shelf is 30.3 in wide and 2.8 in deep.
Delivery

  • Delivery via FedEx usually within 30 working days. Handmade in our workshop in London and ships from UK. Price includes delivery charge of $50. Once dispatched you will receive an email with your FedEx tracking number.
  • DO GET IN TOUCH as soon as possible if your personalized item is for a special occasion and you need it by a specific date.
  • Products marked as sold out will be delayed. Please see product for delivery times.
