Safety

  • For safety reasons place the bed less than 1.5 inches or at least 12 inches away from the wall. The purpose of this is to prevent your baby from becoming trapped between the bed and the wall.
  • Make sure the room is safe for the child to wander around. This includes covering outlets, removing cords, mount fragile furniture, etc. 
  • Always follow your health care provider's requirements for safe sleeping. This may include removing pillows, duvets or covers to avoid suffocation. 
  • Never leave your child unattended.

Materials

We select our materials with safety as our first priority, followed by strength and natural beauty. All our plywood meets CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards, reflecting our commitment to thoughtfully made furniture for your home.

3/4-inch PureBond® Maple Plywood

Our premium maple plywood is made using PureBond® formaldehyde-free adhesive technology. We are one of the few children’s furniture brands offering this type of wood. Its light tone and smooth, hand-varnished finish create a fresh, modern look. We lightly tint the edges for a clean, Scandinavian-inspired finish that complements the wood’s natural beauty.

3/4-inch Birch Plywood

Our birch plywood comes prefinished with a clear coating that highlights its natural grain. We carefully sand and hand-seal the edges to showcase the plywood’s distinctive layers. Its slightly warmer tone brings a welcoming feel to your space, while its low formaldehyde emissions meet CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI standards.

White Melamine with a Plywood Core

The white components feature a durable melamine surface over a sturdy plywood core, with no particleboard. The clean white finish provides a neutral balance alongside the natural wood.

About CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI

CARB Phase 2 is California’s standard limiting formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including hardwood plywood, particleboard, and MDF. TSCA Title VI establishes corresponding standards across the United States. These regulations include testing and certification requirements to help reduce formaldehyde emissions into indoor air.

When we say PureBond technology is “formaldehyde-free,” we’re describing our hardwood plywood panels, which are comprised of no added urea formaldehyde components and assembled with no-added urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives.

What Parents are Saying

Who We Are

Hi! We're Ale and Jorge. Sapiens Child started in our small apartment in Vancouver during COVID, when we couldn't find children's furniture designed with true independence and purpose for our own baby.

Combining my expertise as a Certified Montessori Guide with Jorge's craftsmanship, we built a simple table and chair set.

One thing led to another. Today, thousands of parents have trusted us to bring autonomy into their homes. We were even featured on Dragons' Den!

We're still pinching ourselves and couldn't be more grateful to our incredible community.
