Believe it or not, these bookshelves are not built in! Phillip put them together himself! We needed a place to organize our books for the homeschool room.
Phillip installed the shelves and anchored them to the walls with about 3 inches of space between each. He then purchased wood to fill in the gaps, caulked, and painted it.
When I sit on the rocking chair to teach science or to read aloud, the kids sit on these bean bag chairs from Wayfair. They’ve held up really well so far, even with our son jumping from the desk onto them.
