When we got together here at GBHQ (that's Greeno Bambino's
International Headquarters, of course!) to discuss what to look for in
a non-toxic kid's furniture company, there was no shortage of ideas.
In fact, we had so many gripes with the options we'd encountered that
our wish list started out more like a wish not list.
We all
agreed that most kid's furniture was either too cheap, too expensive,
too ugly, too toxic, too uninspired, too environmentally irresponsible,
or too difficult to put together. So we went in search of something
that was the antithesis of all these qualities, and our wish was
granted when we found Ecotots.
Ecotots is everything we could
have asked for in children's furniture: thoughtfully designed with a
playful yet timeless aesthetic; built to last a lifetime (and
guaranteed to do so); designed and made in the USA (and sourced
completely from within North America); non-toxic; eco-friendly; and
literally a snap to put together. Plus, though more expensive than the
nearly disposable furniture you'll find in big box stores, it's much
more sensibly priced than most other high-end furniture options.
The Boogie Board Desk -- suitable for kids 2 and up but ideally sized for 5-10 year olds -- features a durable, 100% non-toxic, water based
UV-cured finish, and
assembles in minutes with a patented no-tools/no-hardware method. It
is constructed from just six pieces of formaldehyde-free, Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified, environmentally friendly Birch
veneer plywood - not that particle board junk with which you've
probably become all too familiar. And like all Ecotots furniture,
it's built extra-wide at its base to provide for stable, safe, anti-tip
fun.
The Boogie Board Desk can be used standing or with an existing chair, but it's perfectly paired with Ecotots' matching Boogie Board Stools.
Put
it in the playroom, the bedroom or the family room. Whatever way you
choose, Ecotots is such sweet goodness that you'll probably wish you
had some for your room.
Available in 4 tasty colors: Cocoa, Fire, Leaf and Natural.
Ecotots
is a brand of The Simple Furniture Company, a
privately held business located in Indiana. The Simple Furniture
Company is a founding member of the Sustainable Furniture Council (SFC)
and a proud member of 1% For the Planet, an alliance of businesses
that donate at least 1% of their annual revenues to environmental
organizations worldwide.
