I was looking for something for my son's room that would last him until college, so I adapted your plans and added hooks and a bench and stained it. Bookends are all we are missing to make it perfect. He loves it, and I don't think he will be able to break it. I could use a suggestion for anchoring it to the wall, though. Thank you for the great, easy-to-follow plan!

Great Job!
Your bookshelf and bench look really nice and sturdy! I'm sure it will hold up for many years. As far as anchoring it to a wall, I have had luck with anti-tip furniture straps. I would use several and anchor them right to the studs. I also use long, self tapping construction screws instead of the screws that come in the package.
