Materials

Maple plywood, birch plywood and white melamine. We choose these woods for their good looks, sturdiness, and eco-friendliness. They meet the strict California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards, ensuring they are safe for indoor air and environmentally friendly. This choice reflects our commitment to environmental care and delivering top-quality, safe products.

Natural Maple Plywood - It's got a smooth, hand-varnished finish and edges we tint just a bit to give it that cool, minimalist Scandinavian vibe. Plus, it’s a bit lighter in color, giving it a fresh, modern look.

Natural Birch Plywood - This one comes pre-finished from our supplier for a nice, clear look. We hand-seal the edges to enhance the layers’ natural patterns, and it's got a slightly, just slightly richer hue than maple, which really warms up the place.

White Melamine - with plywood core for all the white parts that you see in the pictures, to bring a nice neutral balance to your space.

More about CARB 2 and TSCA Title VI

CARB 2 is a California regulation that sets strict limits on formaldehyde emissions from hardwood plywood, particleboard, and MDF. It mandates third-party certification and periodic testing to ensure products comply with these standards.

TSCA Title VI is a federal regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act. It establishes national formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products, aligning closely with CARB 2. This regulation requires third-party certification and proper labelling.

Functional and beautiful!

The Montessori shelf is both functional and beautiful. The size fits perfectly in our tight space and the design is aesthetically pleasing. I love the handles, which make it easy to carry around our home. Jorge was so kind and helpful with pickup. It's great to support a local small business and I only wish I had bought this earlier!

Banana shelf- birch

The shelf feels sturdy, its size is very convenient and it’s easy to assemble. We selected “birch” which is a bit more yellow than I would have expected. Good customer service. We were also very happy to encourage a Canadian company!

Banana shelf

I bought the banana shelf hoping that by displaying only a few toys at a time it would help my child focus and play longer with each toy and it’s been working really well! The shelf is very cute and the quality is excellent. Would definitely recommend!
