Oeuf Classic Collection Mini Library

Oeuf Mini Library - BirchI had been looking at this shelving unit for quite some time. The design is gorgeous and I love the colors. I finally ordered it from Amazon it took about two weeks to get to me. There were about 20 wood pieces and a hundred screws and bolts. It took me over two hours to get the shelves together (you need two people) and another hour of extreme frustration to get one of the swinging doors on. The second swinging door was utterly hopeless to screw on straight and I am pretty good at putting stuff together. So, I now have this unit missing a door which is such a drag but it looks okay. Again, the design is very pretty. But the hassle to put it together and the lack of a second working swinging door makes this a RISKY PURCHASE. I'm not sure I'd buy it again in hindsight.

We have several Oeuf furniture pieces (armoire, twin bed and these shelves). The shelves, hands down, are my favorite. As all Oeuf pieces go, they are well made, and the design can really suit any decor. They are relatively easy to assemble (I did them myself), super durable (think tiny children banging down toys), and wonderfully accessible for the kids. My one-year-old daughter enjoys taking every book off the shelf! The 2 smaller closed cabinets are great for hiding unsightly, messy things (like hair elastics), but my daughter also likes to pretend it is an oven (and bakes pretend objects in it).

The only things i MIGHT change: wish it came in an optional all white so it was more mix and match-y (and not so match-y) with the other Oeuf items (I wish this about all their furniture), and I am unsure how I feel about the fact that you can see the screw ends. It kind of gives an industrial looks (only a tiny bit) and you can hide them with objects. Like I said--I sort of love/hate it. Lastly, the taller shelf could be slightly taller as their are some classic children's books (Make Way for Ducklings, Madeline) that don't fit standing up (too tall), but I just put them sideways, so its fine.

I should also mention that Oeuf has wonderful customer service. Some of the best I have dealt with.

I highly recommend this, and other Oeuf products.

Love, love, love the mini library! It's a truly child size bookcase that keeps everything tidy and looks great too. And the cupboards are great for those little bits and bobs that you don't necessarily want on display.

We ordered the crib, dresser, and hutch from the same Oeuf line and we love them all. This piece also did not disappoint. Much like the other pieces, the library has a mid century modern feel and is superior quality. It's super versatile and I found that the Skip Hop square organizers fit really well into it. Overall, great piece and worth the money.
