4 Cubby Bookshelf or Nightstand

10 Reasons Cubbies Rock

You don't need bookends.
Everything has a place.
Clutter looks like it's on display.
Removing an object means disrupting only that cubby - not the entire bookshelf.
My five year old can be organized.
They are sized just right for baskets, bins, and buckets.
Display the pretty, disguise the ugly in coordinating containers.
They tidy up any room of the home.
They make Mama happy.
Cubbies are fun to build!!!

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback on the 9 Cubby Bookshelf I posted last week. Today, I am sharing a smaller version, more suitable for perhaps under a window or as a bedside table or in a child's room. I also love how Pottery Barn Kids lined up a few of their sold-out Morgan Cubby Bookshelves to hold books and toys in. The top becomes a great tabletop for a lamp, photo frames, or even more storage.

The 4 Cubby bookshelf is smaller, so by default, is going to be easier and faster to build. The construction steps are pretty similar, so I went ahead and added the video of the 9 Cubby Bookshelf if you would like to watch.

I'd also like to add a 6 Cubby Bookshelf Plan if anyone is interested. And of course the 4 Cubby plans follow! Enjoy!
