Bookcases

Jason and I both got these bookcases from Target to use in our classrooms. They were on sale for $13 at the time, so we figured if they didn't hold up all that well, it would be worth the price. They come in several different colors (including black, white, and espresso) and are very simple to put together. I even assisted with a power tool!

So far, they are surprisingly sturdy and a decent size (almost 3 1/2 feet high). The shelves can be installed at varying heights. They're $19.99 now and available in store and on-line. The only downside is that the board that goes on the back of the frame is little more than cardboard, but as long as you have the shelves in and/or the back is against a wall, you won't notice it.

We also got some of these adorable baskets from Ikea. A set of 3 is $7.99.
