{"product_id":"chest-of-three-drawers-in-solid-beech","title":"Chest of Three Drawers in Solid Beech","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree deep drawers at a height a child opens themselves, with a stop so they cannot come out onto a foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Montessori idea behind this is simple enough to say in a sentence: a child who can reach a thing can choose it, and a child who can choose it will use it. That is why the bed is on the floor, the shelf is at knee height and the tower exists at all. It is not a style. Almost everything sold as Montessori furniture is a normal piece of furniture made smaller, and the test of whether it is the real thing is whether a two year old can use it without an adult, which is a question you can answer by watching rather than by reading a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 800mm wide by 450mm deep by 700mm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 18 months to 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid steamed beech, which is the timber most school furniture has been made from for a century because it dents rather than splinters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: water based lacquer or paint, certified to BS EN 71 part 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 25kg per drawer, rail rated to 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandards: BS EN 12520 and BS EN 12521 for domestic furniture, finish to BS EN 71 part 3, and the tip test in BS 4875\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdges and fixings: every exposed edge rounded to a 3mm radius, every fixing recessed and capped, and no pinch point anywhere a hand goes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly: flat packed, about 90 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 32.4 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawer stops fitted, so a drawer cannot be pulled out onto a foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft close runners on every drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles are recessed rather than proud, so nothing catches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti tip restraint supplied and required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes apart flat for a move\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatch matched, and we keep the record for ten years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe piece, flat packed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawer boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft close runners and drawer stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn anti tip restraint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner caps, a hex key and printed instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAssembly and safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat packed with a hex key and printed instructions.

Furniture tip overs injure a serious number of small children every year in this country and every one of them is preventable with two screws.

The conversion kit is listed alongside it and is about a fifth of the price of the piece, which is the point. We keep the conversion parts for a range for ten years from the day we stop making it, so a piece bought for a first child can be brought back up to size for a third.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kidsize","offers":[{"title":"Clear water based lacquer","offer_id":54054659195208,"sku":"KDS-CHS-002-CL","price":459.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chalk white","offer_id":54054659227976,"sku":"KDS-CHS-002-WH","price":479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage green","offer_id":54054659260744,"sku":"KDS-CHS-002-SG","price":479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay pink","offer_id":54054659293512,"sku":"KDS-CHS-002-CP","price":479.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/0516\/3080\/files\/Chest_of_Three_Drawers_in_Solid_Beech.jpg?v=1789245007","url":"https:\/\/kidsizefurniture.com\/products\/chest-of-three-drawers-in-solid-beech","provider":"Kidsize Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
