Best Cribs are Safe Cribs. Greenguard GOLD Tested, 100% Solid Wood

Straight Talk about Safety and Quality in Children’s Furniture | 10 min. Read

Shopping for baby furniture is different than shopping for a new patio set. Sure you want that picture perfect, Instagram perfect crib, but more importantly, you want something that comes with peace of mind and keeps your family safe. Telling your kids you got them something "good enough" might not be very easy so here's why getting something "great" is even easier. 

Your kids grow quickly, you'll blink twice and they're ready for their first car. And sure, you can get a car without airbags and a funky smell but do you really go that route?

In Europe they say "we're too poor to buy cheap stuff"... just think about it for a second.

If you poke below the surface, you realize that investing in quality means investing in yourself. It's the same mindset we strive to form, some barely certified crib comes with inherent risks, short term usability, invisible foes and lots of question marks. 

Here’s the naked truth about children’s furniture—more specifically, cribs. Since the turn of the century, nearly a million and a half cribs have been recalled from the market because they posed an unreasonable risk of injury to your child. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the federal agency tasked with monitoring the potential risk of harm caused by consumer goods, rewrote the safety guidelines for cribs in 2011 and cautioned parents about purchasing any cribs built before that date. Sadly, the new regulations have not prevented product peddlers from swamping the market with substandard and unsafe cribs.

Silva—We Build Children’s Furniture with a Focus on Safety and Well-Being

At Silva, we are a family-owned and operated manufacturer since we started our business in 1993, with our third generation now involved in day-to-day operations. From the beginning, we’ve always given top priority to safety, long-term value and convenience, using only the highest quality materials, and employing product design and manufacturing practices that focus primarily on your child’s health and safety.

To ensure that we are best serving the needs of parents and children in Tampa and across the country, all our products and designs are periodically tested at authorized Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) labs in the United States. We also conduct frequent routine random quality and safety inspections at our factory, evaluating practices and confirming that all cribs, beds and dressers comply with stringent safety and health requirements.

European-Made Furniture to Keep Your Young Ones Safe and Healthy

We build all our beds and cribs entirely out of beechwood, a cherished hardwood known for its structural soundness and resistance to changes brought on by temperature and humidity. One of the world’s densest and heaviest hardwoods, beechwood offers many advantages over composites or softer woods. Because of its density and weight, it’s virtually impossible to tip over a beechwood crib. In addition, the solid beechwood construction has the integrity to last for generations and its is widely known for superior furniture properties, longevity and environmental tolerance

Silva Furniture—Available in Tampa and throughout Florida

We have also carefully considered other factors that may pose a risk to your child’s well-being. Because we know that infants and toddlers will put their mouth on just about anything and put just about anything in their mouths, we have designed our furniture to avoid any potentially toxic substances and any small parts that may be ingested. The finishes on our cribs, beds and dressers are all entirely organic, with a vegetable or water base, therefore 100% non-toxic. There is no Lead, Phthalates, Formaldehyde or any other VOCs which could be harmful for your family. We design all our furniture to strictly comply with requirements established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). That means we’ve carefully considered the number of slats in a crib, as well as the spacing, and we’ve designed cribs, beds and dressers that don’t have sharp edges or exposed hardware that can pose a risk of injury to your child.

Safe and Durable Dressers and Children Furniture for Parents in Tampa

Our baby and kids dressers have all structural and tension-bearing components constructed from hardwood, with an organic, non-toxic finish on all sides to increase resistance to environmental changes in temperature or humidity. The dressers include hardware that prevents drawers from accidentally detaching from the dresser or tipping over, as well as wall-mounting anti-tipping anchoring kits. You can expect your Silva dresser to function like new for decades: the German engineered hydraulic soft-closing drawer mechanisms have an estimated lifespan exceeding 70 years or 80,000 cycles warranted by their German manufacturer

Solid Construction and Convertibility Offer Long-Term Value

Because of our commitment to use only the finest materials, our cribs, beds and dressers are built to last. The cribs are designed to convert through several stages as your child grows, and the mattress support has three different height options:

• the High setting is most useful during the infant stage
• the Intermediary position adds convenience as your child grows in weight and height
• the Low setting if a perfect transition towards big-kid bed, especially when she/he is able to stand independently

With the adaptability of a crib/bed from Silva, you don’t have to buy a new bed when your child outgrows their current one. That can save you a lot of money in the long run, buy once and use for a lifetime
