Would these hold children's books? I'm looking at putting it in my 4 and 5 year old daughters' bedroom closet for their books...

Yes! They are sturdy enough for books and easily assembled and look great for the price.

I don't think these are sturdy enough for books. I have handbags stored on mine and they get very wobbly with too much weight. If your 4 and 5 year olds are like my nephews, they'll have lots of books. Better to go for something sturdier. I think you'll have more flexibililty.

It is pretty sturdy so I don't think you'd have any problem storing books as long as they are not too big. The shelves are about 7" deep.

I am sure it would depend on how many books are on top of the bottom one. If you have a hardcover, then put it on the bottom and pile your paperbacks on top. This is a great item! Very strong!

They are a bit tall, so depending on your closet space it should work. I use it for books so it's definitely sturdy enough for linens. It will also fit length-wise.

It will fit them for sure on the bottom shelf, I also would be less concerned about their weight. I suspect they would fit in the top shelf, but getting them in might be tricky, there is a decorative curved piece. Not sure about the weight there. I have quite a few books on the top shelf and it had caused no issue.

The shelves are nice and deep and can also be adjusted for the height of your books. They're made for average sized books but taller books may require you to adjust how/where you place your sheves which is great to even have the option. I hope this was helpful.

Yes. They are tall and narrow, so they can fall over if bumped hard, but they are strong enough to hold the weight of all the books you can fit on them. I have four of them in my home and I use two of them to hold stereo speakers that are pretty heavy. I really like them. Great for holding pictures and nick knacks too.

I would say yes, the probably will hold a few books. Keep in mind they aren't huge though, and you may be better off going with something a tad larger than 1 1/2". Good luck! :)

You probably could - they clip pretty tight on the shelf so I think they would stay in place if you put purses between them. I really like them.

it would hold books, although you would have to allow for the height of each book between the shelves .. it's sturdy enough ..

I'm sorry. I answered the wrong thing. We use this on our attic door to store garbage bags, paper plates, cups, etc. If the books aren't very heavy it would probably work.

We use it as a bookshelf in my son's room and it's completely full of books and holds up just fine. Not sure what you'd be looking to put on it but if it's clothes, it would work.

I've had this bookshelf for about a year. All the shelves are loaded with papers & books, but not heavy textbooks. The middle couple of shelves are starting to sag, so I wouldn't recommend it for books like yours. It would definitely need reinforcement.

I think they would fit fine. If there was one workbook per slot then it should be fine but more than one may cause it to pull and might not stay flat against the wall. The fabric is durable; it is the length that causes the sides to not stay flat. (but the books being stored in mine are not the full length of the slot which may play a large factor.) Overall, I am very satisfied with the product.

Shelves are actually a little higher than 12" but have a front molding that overlaps about 1/8". You could put them in on an angle though. Depth of each shelf is about 11" so if your books are no wider you shouldn't have a problem.

In my opinion this would not be good for book storage. They are very deep and the front tilts up to keep items in. Great for loose toys though!

Actually, the shelves are anything but flimsy. They should be more than sufficient to hold the weight of normal books, however, I caution against stacking them too high as the shelving unit is only 10.5 " deep.
