Could this be used for children's books and would it be safe?

I think it would not be deep enough, and books would slip through the wire shelves. As far as safe....if it were attached to the door or wall securely enough, it would probably be safe as long as the child didn't try to swing on it. Good luck!

I don't think it would be ideal for books since its not very long and deep, but i guess you could put some books on it it just wouldnt fit too many.

I'm not sure I would use it for that. It could probably easily be pulled on and because it is in two parts, maybe end up falling. Kids are prone to amazing destructive abilities!

It sticks out less than 5 inches from the door. I rigged up solid bottoms for each shelf using foam core, cut to fit. If used as a bookshelf it would be necessary to turn the books face forward, although the unit seems sturdy enough to acomodate the weight.

Yes you can hang it over the door , but you can also attach it to the door, so the kids can't pull it down. I think it would work great on kids books.

Actually yes... and what a good idea that is! I bought it for a one year old to put his toys in and pull around.. when he outgrows that I will do something else with it. But yes books would be really cool to store in it.. It isn't flimsy you just have to make sure the handle and wheels are facing the right way.

I use it for everything from paperback to big hard cover books. I use it with a "Music Book Clip or Page Holder" (looks like a 5 inch comb with 4 teeth) because a lot of books both soft and hard cover are so stiff they fight the book holder.

I have not used it for books but, I love mine. Very durable and easy to fold and move.

It's pretty well made and should be able to hold a medium size book. I don't think it's flimsy. So far my son has mostly used it with the iPad.

I guess so, I use it for ornaments but I am pretty sure you can put some books in it.

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

The grandchildren have not used it yet. They wanted to create their own books. I am not sure but it looks like you can. The cover is a little bit shiny. I hope this helped.

The short answer is no. The major flaw in this product is the deck. Its not deep enough...there's not enough of it. It's not good for thicker books because the pages sag below the deck. But it's better than not having any bookstand! Also, there's a matter of the metal page holders which sometimes require both hands to navigate. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't recommend it. My child LOVES books, and hasn't touched this thing. Huge waste of money for us.

I use the 2 bin for books but the three bin would work fine. The problem would be height. Some of my daughter's taller picture books have trouble fitting so I just put them in sideways

This is very light weight gadget and can be unstable if you try supporting a heavy book. Bottom margin is clear, though Your question is not clear to me.

I have used it for documents and pictures. It is very high quality and I have been very happy with it. I'm not sure about books as I have scanned things flat without the middle being bent.

I don't think anything is 100% safe, but this outlet should keep most of our little guys safe. Some kids are more curious than others so I suggest that you keep an eye on them just in case. Sorry I could not give you more

Do you think I could use this for the leapfrog reader? Need to hold three books and the pen. Thanks

I would say yes, maybe not for very thin books, but for an average book I think it should work fine. Without battery it's really really light, so the best estimate for the weight of the lamp would be the weight of 3 AAA batteries in your hand. I have to admit that I always use it with the AC adaptor clipped on my bed headboard (so no battery).

I don't use mine for books, but it looks like heavy books would do just fine....
