SAFE, HEALTHY AND LONG-LASTING
NOT ALL FURNITURE IS CREATED EQUAL
"Oh that's an expensive crib" Yup, we heard that a couple of time and sure, quality is not for everybody but you know what's expensive? Asthma treatments are expensive. Headaches from VOCs are expensive and replacing your child's furniture every 2 years is expensive. So maybe quality is not all that expensive is you put things in perspective. We see furniture as an Investment, not an expense. Design is also very important for Parenting is a Journey and you'll need furniture to meet different sets of expectations during this journey so tag along to hear our story.
Our wood choice is Beechwood for its overall superior properties and suitability. Eco-consciously harvested hardwood with excellent resistance to mechanical impact, finishing and environmental tolerance. Our dresser hardware is made in Germany, and our finishes are organic vegetable and water-based.
GROWING ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY
The convertible design allows cribs to be used longer which means lots of savings for parents but are also good for the environment. The adjustable mattress support has 3 height positions for maximum convenience: you can (and should) lower your mattress as your child grows and her mobility and motion increases. When your child reaches approx. 30" in height or around the age of 2 years old, you should consider converting your crib to toddler bed to allow easy In/Out access.
Around the age of 4 to 5 years old most children are ready to transition to a big-kid bed and yes, you should make a big deal out of it. The solid wood construction is the assurance that the crib will last through all the previous stages of conversion and will be a comfortable place for your child to sleep for many more years to come.
