Where is a good place to buy inexpensive yet good quality bookcases/shelving for my soon to be playroom? I don't want anything too high - 3 shelf limit max. And I want it to be sturdy enough that I don't always worry about it tipping over.

IKEA might work for you.

As far as tipping over, attach everything to the wall. There is too much temptation and too much danger in a child climbing shelves.

Just this weekend we took a couple of old 4-shelf wooden bookcases we had and cut them down to 2-shelf units. If we hadn't had the old bookshelves we were going to look at Ikea.

I second the IKEA suggestion if you live near one. We have 5 tall book shelves that we bought 7 years ago and they have held up really well. We have a LOT of books and the shelves haven't warped at all. We have the "Billy" range.

I love these from Target. The shelves aren't adjustable (or at least not much? can't check now b/c ds is asleep in that room) so the tallest books have to lay down flat instead of spined but I still love it. Very sturdy and good looking, imo, especially for the money. We also have and like IKEA shelves. Target ones:
comes in white and natural:
