Does the bookcase have sharp edges/corners? How stable is it? Planning on using in toddler's room.

No sharp edges and is very sturdy. We too use it for toddler grandchildren. Very happy with it!!

No sharp corners, very stable - for adults. A toddler that would pull on this bookcase could pull it over as he/she is trying to stand, given the child's own weight and strength. Always worth the extra effort to secure the bookcase-no hardware provided for this, though. The side pieces of wood are heavy enough to get decent weight and length hardware into to secure it. I would PREDRILL the holes for the hardware (just a bit smaller than the actual hardware size) to avoid any splitting of the wood. Be safe.

The top front has curved edges. Overall it is not sharp and is pretty stable. It is solid and heavy. You may want to attach it to the wall with a wall anchor just to be extra sure. That is what I did with all of my children's furniture.

we have been happy with our easel. We have a 1 yr old and he likes to "draw" with chalk (with supervision of course!) so we have it on the lowest setting. As he grows we'll raise it up but low its pretty sturdy. I can see potential for it to be a little wobbly on the highest setting, but my husband is handy and will come up with a way to make it more sturdy. Hope thats helpful!

The corners on the top are wood, so no, it is not as sharp as laminated particle board can be. Clothing wouldn't catch on it. It is still sharp enough that it would hurt if a child of the same height ran into it. Not really a safety issue in the general sense, in my opinion.

No. It's stable and doesn't have many pointy or scratch making edges or corners

the corners are rigid - the edging around the outside of the case makes the entire outside edge stiff. leaning against a wall the case does remain upright (doesn't bend over or fold in half) if that helps

I don't use it very often, it's in the guest bathroom, but it seems to be finr the few times I have used it. It's wood it's not cushy. I don't understand the second question. if you mean how the edge of the round lid is I guess it's kind of squared off. Hope that helps

We have ours in our bedroom, against a wall, but not mounted to the wall so they have never "tipped". However I would NEVER have a bookshelf in a house with small children not mounted to a wall. This is extremely dangerous and children have died from a bookshelf falling on them. Not worth the risk. Mount it to the wall.

I set it up in our living room for my son on his second birthday. I put books and snacks inside and he never had a problem. He crawled in and out all the time. I never felt there was anything that put him in danger (choking etc). It's pretty sturdy especially with a really active 2 year old running around.

It is a rectangle, so it has definite corners but they are sanded and stained so they aren't sharp. At least not any more sharp than say a coffee table or dining tables corners would be. Its a nice solid wood and easy to put together.. I have two of them as night stands since the smaller size worked better for me, and I am really happy with them.

I would be nervous doing that, as mine is also on carpet and definitely leans against the wall. I would be nervous that it would topple over if bumped too hard. We have a different bookcase doing something similar on our carpted floor - we went for a bookshelf that is both wider and deeper.

I am using the unit for books and I have ALOT of books on it. It is very stable. It does have hole to place screws in and anchor it to the wall. The screws do not come with the unit. I plan on getting the screws to make it even more secure. The predrilled holes are also not very noticeable. Overall, I really like the unit. You can get the unit a lot cheaper from IKEA thou. I got it from amazon because I do not live anywhere close to an ikea and it's cheaper through amazon( because shipping costs from ikea are crazy ).

No problem with the glass. The edges are like any other type of furniture; that is, adults should have no issues but a child could meet head to edge if running and not paying attention. Sharp is a relative term but insofar as furniture, I'd say 'no' these are not particularly 'sharp' at all.

It was not hard but it took sometime.. But it was worth it.. Beautiful bookcase. I have it in my granddaughter's bedroom for toys and books.. Very sturdy.. I did put the back panel on it also.

It doesn't really have sharp edges, but the magnet is *really* strong, so I can see if you aren't careful when putting it in place if you don't set it completely flat and try to roll it on, the back edge could scratch, but if you're careful that shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I love this corner shelf. I have it in my bedroom with a TV, pictures and nick nacks on it.

Hi, the table is beautiful and i am very pleased with it, but the table corners are sharp. You might be able to find protectors for the coners by checking in your local bedding or hardware stores. This could help to protect your 3 year old until he/she grows taller. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Time will tell but my one year old pulls himself up on it daily and no issues at all. We use the shelves for his toys also and I haven't seen any scratches on them either. It is made from MDF so it's heavy and the top isn't as rigid as a wood top would be but it is well designed with supports in the right places. For the price, it really is a great product.
