Assembly Help
Sturdy and easy to put together. High quality.
Sturdy, solid, and nice wood. Great height for toddler. Easy to assemble.
Beautifully designed - I love that the whole thing fits without nails/screws. It’s a big upgrade for my son’s bedroom!
It's perfect and was easy to put together!
I always purchase from Sprout kids and are quite happy with the products. But has shelf’s back doesn’t fit with shelf well, unable to put it on.
We wanted a piece of furniture that was beautiful, good quality and could grow with our family. These shelves checked all the boxes and we love that they are montessori as well. They were easy to assemble but definitely required two adults. Very happy with our purchase!
We have a sprout bed and were hoping the shelf would be just as well made, but it’s flimsy and wobbly even after all our best effort to follow the instructions. The wood backing we received is bowed/crooked so the back isn’t flush either. Just a bummer all around.
I got this shelf for my baby to have in our family room. We have a playmat in front of it and family photos on the second shelf with her shelf work on the bottom. I love the quality and that it just snaps together (basically). The wood is beautiful; we got the deeper shelves with a full back. I got Sprout because it calls out the fact babies will pull-up on the shelves—that made me trust that they know what they're making. For the price, the value is incredible. My family will use this shelf for a very long time.
