I am a kindergarten teacher and was looking for a lower height shelf that would be strong enough to withstand five year olds. I bought this shelf in yellow and picked it up at the store in Atlanta. The shelf is very heavy which is a drawback when picking it up yourself and moving it around the classroom. However, the weight of the shelf has been wonderful during the school year - not a chance it will tip over! The shelf is VERY study and just the right size. I place bins on the top of the shelf. It is the perfect size for my students. This shelf is very easy to clean and the colors stay true. I would highly reccomend this product!
