What ikea unit?

On her stories - a new unit she has in the not to be mentioned extended third bedroom - it the room with Alex’s wardrobe and also seems to be a playroom for the kids with a sofa (sofa number three in the house), etc. Toys and books nicely arranged on the shelves - kids will be climbing the shelves to reach the toys. Alex wouldn‘t dream of getting practical low level shelving so that kids can easily reach their toys and books (and it would look a lot more ‘chic’ than that unit).

I get it but it sort of misses the mark. The whole point of Montessori / accessible play is that it’s child height, also it’s suggested you rotate toys rather than having everything out, which even for us as adults would be visually overwhelming! If those units were half the height & secured safely this would be fab.
 
I just can’t believe this is being advertised to people without the “make sure you attach it to the wall to be safe” tagline. Ikea literally recalled 29 million malm
Dressers as they had killed 8 kids and counting. We just got a new shoe storage unit and the first thing we did was drill it to the wall as I didn’t want my son Catos age trying to climb it. A unit of TOYS all on display up high would be irresistible!

If she is being called out she will just ignore it like what she did to Peggy’s room

That shelf is for the content and storage. IMO they should have kept the downstairs office as playroom and this room as office.
 
Omg so true, but now they’ve painted the downstairs room dark green and had storage built in, so not easy to change, didn’t think that through!
