A bookcase shaped like a cactus should be a novelty item. This one isn’t. The Babyletto Cactus Bookcase is powder-coated steel — not the lightweight MDF that most children’s furniture relies on — wall-mounted, and finished in sage green with a non-toxic, lead and phthalate-safe coating. The varying compartment sizes are actually useful: the taller sections hold picture books upright, the smaller ones hold a wooden toy or a small plant without anything sliding. At 48 inches tall and just 8 inches deep, it takes up almost no floor footprint and doubles as wall art in a nursery or child’s bedroom. It wall-anchors for safety. The kind of piece that works in a Scandinavian-inflected room without the whimsy overwhelming the rest of the space. $599.
