$179.00

Adjustable Front-Facing Design

With covers on show at their level, even pre-readers can pick a book by its pictures.

Slide the tiers up or down to suit whatever they’re into right now, chunky picture books today, early readers tomorrow.

Tall, Slim Bookshelf for Small Spaces

Each shelf holds a surprising number of books face-out, yet the frame stays shallow and wall-hugging.

It’s made to fit real family homes, narrow hallways, shared bedrooms and busy playrooms included.

Safe, Wall-Anchored Storage

Anchored securely to the wall, NALA stays put even when curious little climbers come exploring, so a fully loaded shelf remains a safe, steady part of the room. Wall anchors are included.

Customers love this adjustable bookshelf for its space-saving design and sturdy construction. Shoppers said it "holds 50+ board books" and is "easy to put together." The natural tone adds warmth to rooms. Shelves are adjustable with visible storage. One customer noted concerns about wood construction using glued pine pieces.

We absolutely love the NALA Bookshelf!

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!

Soft, sturdy and well made

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

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.

Such a lovely bookcase!

This is such a lovely bookcase! The natural tone is my favorite as it adds warmth to our playroom 🤍

Amazing!! Just love it

Love the quality and can hold a tone of books.

We truly love this bookshelf
It’s very sturdy, hold all of our children’s books and it fits perfectly into our room decor

Great gift

I got this for my three year old niece. Easy to assemble and absolutely perfect for all her books.

Amazing bookshelf!

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!

incredible bookshelf

my daughter was delighted, it is very convenient and does not take up much space in the house😍😍😍😍😍

Perfect bookshelf

The bookshelf is exactly what we were looking for. Very sturdy and my toddler loves it!

Perfect space saver for kids room!

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.

Gorgeous bookshelf

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).

Beautiful bookcase

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.

AMAZING!

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!

Beautiful bookshelf

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!

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.

Love!

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

Beautiful and well made!
Easy to put together and my kid loves it!

Got this for my son's books

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 the NALA Adjustable Bookshelf?

The NALA Adjustable Bookshelf is a slim, front-facing kids bookshelf that shows book covers face-out at a child's height. Seeing the covers turns choosing a story into part of the fun, and sliding a book back afterward is just as simple for a young reader to manage.

What ages does it suit?

It suits children from around 12 months to school age. Early on, the front-facing tiers display chunky board books at an easy height. As your reader moves to taller chapter books, the adjustable shelves reposition to fit them, so the bookshelf keeps pace across several years.

What sizes are available?

Two sizes are offered. The 3-tier stands 36.2 inches tall and 39.4 inches wide, while the 5-tier rises to 55.1 inches at 47.2 inches wide. Both share a shallow 4.7-inch depth and weigh 11.5 and 21.6 pounds, so pick the height that fits your wall and your reader.

Why is it so slim?

Depth is where this bookshelf earns its keep. At just 4.7 inches deep, it sits almost flat against the wall, which frees up floor space in smaller bedrooms, hallways and shared rooms. The covers still face outward, so books stay visible without the unit projecting into the room.

Does it need to be anchored to the wall?

Yes, wall anchoring is required, and the anchors are included in the box. Drill the pilot hole with a bit slightly smaller than the anchor for a firm grip. It fits skirting under 5.9 inches high and 0.6 inches deep. Plaster walls may need hollow-wall anchors rather than the supplied ones.

How do the adjustable shelves work?

Each tier lifts out and repositions on the frame, so you can space the shelves for slim picture books one year and taller annuals the next. This means one bookshelf covers the whole reading journey, rather than being outgrown once the board books are packed away.

Is it safe once a child leans on it?

Once anchored to the wall, the frame stays put even when a child leans in to reach a book.

The solid pinewood is sanded smooth and sealed with a clear, non-toxic finish, and it is tested to CPSIA and ASTM safety requirements. Keep the heaviest books on the bottom tier for balance.

What material is it made from?

NALA is made from premium solid pinewood and designed in Australia.

The clear, non-toxic water-base varnish lets the natural grain show while protecting against everyday knocks and marks.

Pine keeps the unit light enough to mount easily, yet strong enough to hold a full shelf of hardbacks.

How does it compare with your other bookcases?

This is the wall-mounted, slim-profile choice. If floor standing suits you better, the NALA 3 Layer Storage Shelf offers tiltable open shelves with no wall fixing.

Prefer a rotating design that holds far more books? The OLI Revolving Bookcase spins on a four-sided base.

How do I keep it looking good?

Dust the shelves with a soft cloth and wipe spills before they settle into the finish. Keep it indoors and away from damp.

You can see how it pairs with other reading furniture in the bookcases collection when furnishing a nursery or a big-kid reading corner.
