This 3 Compartment Double-Sided Storage unit is a versatile place for keeping and organizing just about anything. Since it has shelves on both sides, it is best used in the middle of the room so that both sides can be accessed. This makes it a great space divider which helps manage the open areas of a room. Both halves have one upper shelf that covers the entire width of the unit, and two lower shelves that are divided in half. These six individual compartments make it easy to sort out its contents. The unit is perfect for storing books, toys, art supplies, and other classroom materials. The shelves are glued and doweled, making them impressively strong. The UV finish on the shelves protects them from scratches and scuffs, and keeps them from absorbing liquids or stains, so that they are easy to clean.
