10 dollar "Book Shelf" for kids

Monster loves books but hates putting them away. Like any kids she scatters them around the room and they get stepped on and ripped or stuff is spilled on them. I have tried a "book bin" but found that the books were getting very damaged.

I made it my mission to find a way to store books on a budget.

I love these these but the 50 to 70 dollar price tag is a bit much. That would buy a bunch more books.

A regular bookshelf is not practical with young children. They just cant reach the higher up one and I don't want to store anything that they may even think of wanted up on the top because they will climb!

 So here was my requirements for the bookshelf.
1. I wanted to stack them like a library.
2. I wanted at least 2 shelves, we don't have a TON of books but if the collection grows I want room to store them.
3. Didn't take up a bunch of useless room.
4. Under 20 bucks.

So here is.

Can you guess what it is? It is a shoe rack. I got this baby at jysk for 10 bucks on sale! The regular price is only 15 so even then it is a steal! If you wanted it to match the room it can easily be spray painted for 3 dollars.
