Just the right size Bookcase
May 8, 2013
This bookcase is the perfect size for my daughter's small bedroom. The quality is great and it was easy to assemble. While there is a strong odor as mentioned on other reviews, but the look makes up for it. My daughter loves to read and this bookcase will last her for a bit, especially since the shelves could hold double rows of novel size books. We are very happy with the purchase.

This is a very sturdy, good quality bookcase. Looks great in my daughters room and holds a lot of books all different sizes. Easy to put together, took about 30 minutes.

Very bad purchase!!
March 22, 2013
I would give it zero star if I can.
very good looking but God, strong smell!! it has been sitting in our family room for 3+ weeks and we still cannot put it in my daughter's bedroom . Pottery Barn Kids send me a replacement, but it is the same strong smell. I returned the replacement and decide just to live with it. This is not what I pay $300+ shipping for and expect to get.

Strong and stylish bookcase; will last a long time
February 25, 2013
We have 2 of these in white and chestnut. They are so nice and sturdy and much better made than most bookcases I've seen. The shelves hold a ton without bending in the middle. Finish has held up well for us, too, especially the wood one. I put baskets on it and it doesn't show scratches very much at all.

fits the space
January 24, 2013
I have bought several items of furniture from PB and PBkids over the last few years and have always been satisfied with the quality of the products. This time, however I was somewhat disappointed. I needed a bookcase in a very specific size to fit a space in my son's room and the dimensions of the Cameron bookcase fit the space. The product description says it has a hardwood frame, but I guess I didn't pay closer attention because although the frame is hardwood the back is not, which is a pet peeve of mine. It is fairly thin and comes in 4 separate pieces that slide in behind each shelf. The worst part of all, the bookcase has a terrible odor that I have never experienced before with a piece of PB furniture. It was so strong the first night the bookcase was in my son's room I was concerned it might trigger an asthma attack. Two weeks later there is still a faint odor lingering. Looks nice, fits the space, but somewhat disappointed in the quality.

Pretty good but not great
October 15, 2012
The material quality and size of this unit is great. My two year old can reach 3 of the 4 shelves. The wood is very sturdy and it was easy to put together. However, please note, SIMPLY WHITE (which is PBK's whitest white) is still an off-white. I found this disappointing since the rest of my daughter's furniture is a true stark white. However, we are keeping it since it we bought it on clearance and I could only get store credit anyway. Plus I think we will be the only ones that really notice the difference. Also, there are small gaps between some of the shelves and the base. We tried to rescrew them to make them flush but couldn't get it to work. At least the baskets cover them. But for the price and the quality I think we did okay. I wouldn't have paid full-price.

Great Bookcase for Any Room
August 6, 2012
We purchased this bookcase in white as a transitional piece for our daughter's room to coordinate with existing pieces not from the Pottery Barn line. It arrived quickly and was very easy to put together. This piece will grow with her and could easily be used in any room in the house. It is definitely not limited to a child's room. A great buy!

Great bookshelf
July 9, 2012
We got this shelf for our baby's nursery, and it looks great. It was easy for my husband to assemble, and the quality is good. I was able to fit quite a few books, stuffed animals and other decorative items on it. My only complaint is that the shelves aren't spaced far enough for some of the taller books I have. Not too big a deal though--I just turned those books on their side, which is more aesthetically pleasing anyway.

I wish the shelves were adjustable, but other than that, I like the coloring (Espresso) and it matches well with my other Espresso furniture.

We purchased this bookshelf to go with our Larkin nursery furniture and it looks beautiful. My husband is beyond terrible at fixing or assembling things; however, he was able to put the shelf together in about 30 minutes. It is sturdy and well-made-especially for the price. Very happy with the purchase. Great focal point for a small nook or wall.

HORRIBLE INSTRUCTIONS
April 2, 2012
Beautiful piece that's going to go great in our son's nursery but the instructions were very vague and the actual pieces are not labeled well at all.
Just study the directions before you get started!

Beautiful Bookshelf
March 8, 2012
My husband & I were shopping for a bookshelf for our three year old son. We purchased one from another major furniture retailer & were immediately disappointed. Within the first hour of delivery I was on the phone scheduling a return date for that bookshelf & then immediately ordered the Cameron from the PBK website. My husband & I originally wanted to purchase the Cameron, but we were trying to be economical. Ultimately we soon realized what we already knew; you get what you pay for. We were immensely displeased with the quality of the other bookshelf, and couldn't be happier with the Cameron. It is sturdy, solid, and very well made. Furthermore, it is beautifully designed. It delightfully enhances our son's room displaying all of his most treasured stories. It is a piece that will endure & that will tell a story of its own as it frames our son's experiences & memories.

January 11, 2012
We purchased the 4-shelf Cameron in store. We got white to go with our daughters' other furniture. This seems to be really great quality. We also purchased canvas totes and Sabrina baskets to go on it. It's great for toy storage.

Amazing piece of furniture
December 13, 2011
This bookcase is of impeccable quality! I ordered it for my 6-yr. old son, and he loves it just as much as I do. The instructions were very easy -- I am a single mom and had no problem putting it together on my own. I would highly recommend it. I see it as a piece of furniture that will grow with my son, and that means a lot in terms of quality and style.

Solid and attractive
September 27, 2011
This bookcase is easy to put together, looks nice, and is solid wood so it will last a long time. I grew tired of purchasing the cheap fiber board bookshelves and thought this would suit us perfectly. Assembly is easy. Just be sure to not tighten down everything until it is all together. Rather than using the wall teather to keep it from tipping over, we slid shims under the two sides in the front. This made is quite solid and steady. No fears of it being too top heavy now. Note: We don't have small children that will be pulling on it either. Overall an A. You won't be disappointed.

This is a good quality bookshelf that is sturdy and well made. However I was very dissappointed that is was not white, it is more of a creamy color that can look a bit green in some light. I returned this product becasue the color did not match the other furniture in the nursery.

Great Quality!
August 11, 2011
Very happy with our purchase. We are simply tired of buying cheap particle wood furniture pieces - and this is definitely made of REAL WOOD! Heavy, sturdy, and the finish is classy.
Tip for assembly - the backings of the bookshelf with the labels go on the bottom. They are sized differently because the bottom shelf is bigger.
