" We actually use this the most during trips to Grandma's house. It's so simple to load it up with favorite books, pop it in the trunk and go! I like to think of this product as our portable library! "

- Newly Crunchy Mama

" This was a dream to assemble, even with the kids “helping.” Just like our bookcase, the quality of the wood is top notch and the finish is flawless. I don’t assemble many things these days and think about my grandkids playing with them, but I did with the Book Box! "

-  ABCs and Garden Peas

" The assembled box is simply stunning, I love that it is beautiful enough to sit in my living room, yet fun enough to appeal to Marky. He loves putting his books away in it, and we have found that this is especially handy for storing his hoards of magazine too. "

Water lacquer is a safe,eco-friendly finish that shows the natural imperfections and grain patterns in the wood. It means your product will have a natural look in style and finish, with the charm of a handmade product.

The Story
Geraldine-Portrait-e1552989823873
Your first library should have your name on it! After all, it's the beginning of the whole world opening up to you. Where you will go and who you will meet in your first books? Everything I make is designed to be fun and enjoyable for children, to draw them in and foster their sense of independence. I noticed that in most living rooms there's a box with a few favourite books. Kids can’t see the covers, so usually drag them all out. I created the  Personalised Tidy Books Box because I wanted something that would work for the whole family; books of any shape and size, magazines etc. Kids love these next to their bed as well. I make sure all my designs are stripped back to keep them looking stylish so they blend easily into a home. It’s about creating a timeless classic that can be passed down through the generations. My designs give kids the freedom to discover their world by themselves- because kids really do know best.

Excellent quality

Sturdy and so practical, my baby loves this so much as he can see his books to pick them out and plays with the clock. It is worth the money as it fits so many books and is portable.

Dear Mariam , Thank you so much for your 5* :) we are so pleased your baby loves his book box and plays with the clock . We hope he enjoys his book box for many years , Best wishes, Tidy Books

Lovely box, could be improved

This is a solid and beautiful product. I was disappointed to find out that there are no risers of any kind, meaning that the front and back compartments are the same height and books at the back cannot be seen unless they are taller. I suggested that this feature be added as an option, and the company were receptive to this idea but I don't know if any plans are in the works to implement it. Simple blocks of wood that are the correct size that could be dropped in would do the trick and would make this product a lot more versatile / useful for certain purposes.

Dear Bryn, Thank you for your feedback .With the Book Box you can have tall books at the back and smaller ones at the front ,Best wishes, Tidy Books

Order process good. The response to a request for a capital letter was prompt and courteous. A little pricy but I would recommend the product.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. We aim to have the best customer service we can offer. Our products are handmade finished with water lacquer and built to lat for many years and be passed on . Best wishes, Tidy Books

Wonderfully made portable book storage box.

My granddaughters loved the box especially that it had a clock face with moveable hands at one end.My daughter thought the handle was a wonderful idea so you can take it from room to room .The finished product is also superb.

Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for your purchase . We are really pleased your granddaughters are enjoying their book box and the clock ! Best wishes, Tidy Books

Not satisfied. My order arrived 1 month lated, I had to pay *** euros of tax to receive the order, in addition to *** £ for the delivery, despite it wasn't notified at the confirmation of the order. I won't buy from your site any more and won't suggest anyone

Dear Cathryn , We are really sorry about what happened with your order and understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been. We have found your order and can see that it went to Austria. Please be aware that when your order was processed in January all orders going to Europe were then blocked by our courier DPD because of the new Brexit situation . We emailed all European website customers but because yours was placed on the UK site and not the Germany one it went through the net. At the time we sent your order we truly believed it would not have any customs charges as we were informed at the time that orders under a certain value would not have customs charges. But this was not the case. We now know differently but this was a completely new situation to us and we have had to adjust from when Brexit started with no knowledge of how exactly orders would be affected. We have reimbursed the custom charges to everyone who has been in contact with us even though this is beyond our control. We have now set up our couriers account to pay the customs charges in advance for a smooth delivery with no delays and no surprises . We are sorry again that Brexit has impacted your order while we were working out how to best proceed. Please do get in touch so we can remedy the situation. We are always here to help and our goal is for our customers to have a good experience. Best wishes , Tidy Books.
