Montessori Low Bookcase

A children’s bookshelf in the form of an open and transparent bookshelf is the perfect choice for lovers of harmony and simplicity in interior design. According to the principles of the Montessori method, this piece of furniture is designed to support a child’s development. Even the way books are arranged with their covers facing forward allows young readers to make thoughtful choices in their reading material. Full access to the shelves and pockets from the floor level not only makes it easier to reach their chosen book but also encourages them to put it back in its place, teaching self-discipline and care for their own space.

The children’s bookshelf is handcrafted from 15mm thick plywood made from hardwood. It has been painted with environmentally friendly and child-safe coatings and paints, meeting the requirements of the European standard PN EN 71.3.

All sharp edges and corners have been sanded and rounded, and the design ensures stability with reinforced back panels, so even climbing on the shelves won’t cause the furniture to tip over.

This product is designed for self-assembly, and all you need is a screwdriver and a few minutes of free time.

The furniture is available in 6 color variants:

• Brown – clear lacquer
• White
• Gray
• Mint
• Blue
• Natural Wood – can be painted in any color of your choice

Care Instructions:

The furniture is made from natural material that doesn’t like constant moisture but also doesn’t like dirt. Wipe the painted surfaces with a damp cloth from time to time. For more stubborn stains (e.g., crayon marks), moistened wipes work perfectly. Do not store the furniture outside – exposure to the elements can cause damage.

Safety:

• Certified water-based paints;
• No laminated or melamine plywood used in production;
• No heavy metals – PN-EN71-3 standard – Even the most innocent-looking toy in the hands of a child exploring the world can turn out to be dangerous. Furniture in a child’s room can also affect their health. For this reason, every product of this kind must be thoroughly tested. Requirements for toys and children’s furniture are defined, among other things, by the European Standard EN 71, the third part of which (EN 71-3) concerns the migration of harmful elements from products such as paints and varnishes. The standard specifies limits and methodology for testing the migration of eight elements: antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium(III), lead, mercury, and selenium;
• Safe formaldehyde concentration – hygiene class E01 – Formaldehyde is officially recognized as a toxic substance that contaminates indoor air. Breathing air in a room with excessive levels of concentrated formaldehyde can be harmful to health. Therefore, regulations regarding formaldehyde emissions are extremely strict. The plywood we use has the E01 hygiene class, which means minimal, completely safe formaldehyde emissions. It also meets the stringent requirements of the CARB ULEF certificate, which concerns the emission of harmful substances.
