5-Compartment Mobile Storage Cabinet, Toddler, Classroom Furniture, Grey Wash

I LOVE these shelves. I love that the 24" comes exactly to the height of the window sills in my 1908 house. I love that they are made of solid, laminated birch and that the laminations are so beautifully done, they look like art, not plywood. I love that the shelves have low casters, hidden under a bottom skirt, so that even when full they move smoothly and easily when Christmas comes and we want to put the tree in front of a window. I love that they hold a lot, that the light finish is durable & lasting, that you would never in a million years suspect these of being classroom furniture, yet they cost far less than a comparable "proper" living room bookshelf would cost. The only extra work they take is the removal of the wood-burned logo in the center of the bottom skirt. I don't like logo wear anywhere, and especially not on my furniture, so before assembly, I simply take a little time to lightly hand-sand the area until the wood-burned design is gone. Adds maybe 10-15 work to the total, but they go together so easily, even the extra work doesn't make assembly a big deal. There are two of these in my living room, now, and I have other areas in the house where I'd like to replace cheaper and/or chunkier shelves, or totally different pieces of furniture, with more of these. They're just so pretty, and so practical, why wouldn't I?

The ECR4Kids 5-Compartment Mobile Storage Cabinet has become an invaluable addition to my classroom. As someone who's used many storage solutions over the years, I can confidently say this one stands out for several key reasons. First off, the build quality is impressive. The grey wash finish isn't just about looks - it's surprisingly durable and does a great job hiding the inevitable scuffs and fingerprints that come with daily use in a busy classroom. The engineered wood construction feels solid and has held up well to regular use. The five compartments are thoughtfully sized - they're deep enough to hold everything from books to art supplies, yet not so deep that items get lost in the back. Each compartment can easily fit standard letter-size materials with room to spare, and the open design makes it quick to grab what you need. One of my favorite features is the mobility. The casters roll smoothly even when the cabinet is fully loaded, making it easy to rearrange the classroom or move it aside for cleaning. They lock securely too, so the cabinet stays put when you need it to.

So pleasantly surprised about how sturdy and well-made these are. They are heavy so the casters are great. When assembled, they can take a beating from a small child without issue. Also look beautiful!

I’ve ordered this twice now, it is super easy to put together- the hardware is sturdy, the holes all line up, it is very very well made. The casters are nice and don’t scratch up wood floors, they don’t have locks but we’ve not had any problem with the shelves rolling around even with heavy use from little ones. It’s the perfect size for our space. The only thing we’re not too keen on is the logo on the front but whatever- since it’s made of actual wood you could easily sand and paint it. We’ve put a LOT of furniture together over the years and this was one of the all time best experiences. Was consistent between both purchases (bought about a year apart). Holds up very well, you can’t really tell which one is new and which one has been in our kids room for a year aside from some dust accumulated!

Very solid, sturdy wood, good quality. However I ordered the same "grey wash" as the other ECR4kids brand and the greys do not match. 3 pieces all say grey wash , this one piece doesn't match, it has a tan/green back ground tint, the other pieces have a dark grey back ground tint.

I have no complaints except the instructions aren't the clearest. These shelves are solid, were easy for me to put together alone (once divider orientation was figured out), and are great in the nursery. They hold lots of items, especially with organizer baskets, and aren't a big risk of tipping due to the shorter height of 24" and a base depth of 13". They also seem to hold up so far to my kiddo banging his toys all over them. I chose not to use the casters, as my kid would just skate the shelves around the room if I did. The instructions are lacking. If you want pictures that demonstrate proper orientation, you will not get it. Step 1, the top divider goes onto the side with only 1 set of holes and the screws go into the bottom side where there are 3 sets of holes (two sets with plastic inserts). The slots in the wood need to all face to the back to hold the back panels, so watch your orientation with that as well. This is not clearly indicated in the pictures. It's easy to figure out if you have had to build a lot of pack flat furniture, but it may lose some people who haven't. Do not over tighten the pins that go in the plastic inserts, this can cause them to angle oddly, and then that can pull the plastic out when you go to put the pins in the dividers. It didn't happen with these for me, but it's happened with similar designs in the past, and I have seen review pictures where it looked like that had happened on these shelves. Over all, I have 3 of these and love them so far. If I needed more storage space, I wouldn't hesitate getting more. These beat those easily scratchable melamine laminate units, and easily chipable particle board units, any day of the week.

Algunas de las piezas venían mal terminadas, tuve que lijarlas para darles el terminado adecuado y no astillarme o que mi niña se astillara. Por todo lo demás está genial, tamaño, color (qué ojalá tuvieran más colores disponibles), muy fácil de armar y espacio interior.

Really happy with this shelf! Building it was a little challenging as one of the parts was a little wonky (literally the only reason I deducted a star), but with a little help from my husband we were able to make it work. Obviously, don’t overdo it on screwing the screws in too tight, as there’s a risk of splitting the wood like with all wooden furniture. We had no issues with this and made sure not to overdo it. The shelf itself is solid and beautiful. I didn’t use the canisters and have it flat on our carpet. My daughter loves having her toys on display and that she’s able to reach them all. Really pleased with this purchase, and for such a reasonable price. Much sturdier than an IKEA piece, that’s for sure!

I but lot of this stotage at costco in past 3 years and look like better in conception (wood and screw) and a bit cheaper. 5 stars at Costco

The furniture looks fine, but one of the pieces wasn’t the size that was supposed to be; therefore, impossible to assemble. Also, one of the parts is starting to split without even putting pressure on it. The vender asked me for pictures of the wrong part. No answer after sending them. I had to cut the piece myself with a professional tool that my neighbour happens to have. A bit pricey for having wrong a piece and a part being about to split.

Very sturdy construction. Bought 2 for a daycare center & assembled in less than 1 hour. Exactly the same as sold in daycare supply catalogs.Very satisfied with purchase.
