I'm a mom and I created the first Tidy Books bookcase for my daughter back in 2004 in my violin workshop. Ever since, I’ve been designing book shelves and storage for kids which foster their sense of independence, because... Kids Know Best! My original bookcases create an environment for kids to pick and choose their own books and foster their love of books from an early age. I'm 100% committed to timeless, practical and stylish, original designs which are produced ethically. Geraldine, Founder of Tidy Books.

Read more THE ORIGINAL SINCE 2004 Since the first Tidy Books bookcase was created in 2004, all our products have to tick three boxes: they have to be logical to kids; they have to be original; and they have to be stylish to fit in with the home. We are certainly not interested in making things that look trendy. We want to create timeless pieces which can be passed down through the generations. We're a small business and we are dedicated to always putting our customers first. Read more HANDMADE WITH SUSTAINABLE WOOD We don’t use MDF. All our furniture is made to last with sustainable wood and plywood, which is handcrafted to retain its ‘imperfections’. The water lacquer we use allows the wood’s natural beauty to shine through. The way we make our products gives them a different look to the mass-produced alternatives that roll off the production line. You can see all the beautiful knots and grain patterns that give real wood its charm. Read more GOOD FOR THE PLANET Like you, we want to look after the planet so being a green business is a no brainer for us. The way we produce Tidy Books products isn’t about showing off our green credentials – it’s about common sense. Not long after starting the business we also discovered that the commonly used acrylic lacquer we coated our furniture with gave off Volatile Organic Compounds that are bad for the environment and can be harmful to health. We immediately changed to water lacquer, a safer alternative. Using water lacquer is part of our commitment to design and make products that look great and are safe for you and the planet. Our products are a lasting investment for your family, and can be passed on. When you buy Tidy Books, you won't be adding to landfill.

Coram Beanstalk places volunteers in schools to read one to one with children who are struggling with their reading. When you buy a Tidy Books product from our online store, you’re helping Coram Beanstalk make sure more children fulfil their potential, with a book. Read more
