Designer Advice:
A bookshelf bench with three sides allows your child to sit crisscross apple sauce, leaning to one side or with their feet up. Being able to remove the cushions makes them easier to wash, but they fall to the floor more often. Hang a picture frame over the center of the bench or place it below a window.

Designer Advice:
A bookcase bench has a grandeur feel because of its size and how much wall space it takes up. Some parents see the amount of space it takes up as a downside, but at the same time, it holds more books. Because the center of the bookshelf is where your child sits, taller kids may have slouching issues.

Designer Advice:
Plastic bench bookshelves are unique in the sense that most are made out of wood. They are easy to clean, but they aren't the most comfortable for sitting on for a long duration. Parents focusing on eco-friendly products should steer clear of this bench and opt for one made of wood instead.
