FAQ

What kind of wood is used in these solid wood nursery furniture pieces?

Typically, this collection features beechwood and birchwood. These hardwoods are known for their strength, stability, and lack of harmful chemicals making them ideal for use around babies and young children – ensuring a safe environment.

Are the finishes on the furniture child-safe?

All solid wood nursery furniture in this range is finished with non-toxic, water-based paints and lacquers. These are specifically formulated to be durable and resistant to scratches but remain free from harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to your baby.

How should I clean solid wood nursery furniture?

Regular dusting with a soft cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher stains, use a damp (not wet) cloth with mild soap – always test in an inconspicuous area first and dry thoroughly afterwards.

Are the joints securely constructed?

Yes, all pieces are expertly crafted with reinforced joints utilising traditional mortise and tenon joinery techniques. This provides exceptional stability and ensures the furniture is built to withstand years of use.

What dimensions should I consider for solid wood cribs?

Current UK safety standards recommend a minimum mattress size of 90cm x 190cm for standard cots. Ensure you check the specific product dimensions before purchasing to guarantee it meets these requirements.

Can solid wood nursery furniture be painted or stained?

While some finishes are designed to be left as is, many of our pieces can withstand light painting or staining with appropriate child-safe paints and varnishes. Always allow for full drying time before use.

Are these items suitable for newborns?

Many of the designs in this range are perfectly suited for newborns, particularly those with a low mattress height. Always check the product specifications to confirm suitability for your baby’s needs.

How do I care for scratches on solid wood furniture?

Minor scratches can often be buffed out using a soft cloth and beeswax polish specifically designed for wood. For deeper marks, consider professional restoration services – check with the manufacturer's instructions.

What is the typical weight capacity of solid wood changing tables?

Each changing table is engineered to support up to 20kg (approximately 44lbs) – a comfortable load for your baby and diaper changes. Always prioritize safe lifting techniques when moving the furniture.
