The product, in the report: Thin, tall bookcase for children.
The Pottery Barn Madison 4-Shelf Bookrack was mounted onto the wall in our toddler’s bedroom using the screws provided by Pottery Barn. It’s a very thin, unstable bookrack that needs mounting. Over time, I guess the books were too much for it to handle and the bookrack came off the wall, out of its mounting system. No injury was caused, but all the books fell out the back with a loud, forceful fall, and the extremely thin bookcase was standing unmounted, and it is very easily tipped over. The two screws/mounting system they provide is simply not enough for a bookrack targeted toward kids, who will spend all day taking books in and out and tugging at it.
