{"product_id":"foldable-learning-tower-in-solid-beech","title":"Foldable Learning Tower in Solid Beech","description":"\u003cp\u003eFolds to 140mm and goes behind a door, which is the version to buy if your kitchen is the size most kitchens are.\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: 480mm wide by 480mm deep by 900mm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 18 months to 5 years, with an adult in the room\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: 80kg static, tested to 150kg and 30,000 climb cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandards: BS EN 14749 for the structure and BS EN 71 part 3 for the finish, plus our own 150kg static test and a 30,000 cycle climb test\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 40 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 10.5 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatform height: 450mm, which suits a standard 900mm worktop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRail: on all four sides, with a 90mm gap at the step which is under the head entrapment limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootprint: 480mm by 480mm, and it does need that much\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti slip feet, which is what stops it walking across a tiled floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds to 140mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn adult should be in the room, which is on the printed card too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe tower, flat packed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti slip feet, fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare corner caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hex key and printed instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA printed safety card with the supervision guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAssembly and safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat packed with a hex key and printed instructions. Fittings are threaded steel inserts rather than screws into board, so it can be taken apart and rebuilt as the child moves rooms, which most of them will do twice. Every fixing is recessed and capped, and the caps are supplied in a small bag with spares, because one of them will be prised off and posted somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long it lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adjusts as the child grows rather than being outgrown. The heights are on the same ladder as the rest of the range, so a table set for a two year old today lines up with a chair bought for a five year old in three years, and the adjustment takes one adult about five minutes with the hex key that came in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kidsize","offers":[{"title":"Clear water based lacquer","offer_id":54054648709448,"sku":"KDS-LRT-004-CL","price":229.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chalk white","offer_id":54054648742216,"sku":"KDS-LRT-004-WH","price":239.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage green","offer_id":54054648774984,"sku":"KDS-LRT-004-SG","price":239.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay pink","offer_id":54054648807752,"sku":"KDS-LRT-004-CP","price":239.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/0516\/3080\/files\/Foldable_Learning_Tower_in_Solid_Beech.jpg?v=1789245118","url":"https:\/\/kidsizefurniture.com\/products\/foldable-learning-tower-in-solid-beech","provider":"Kidsize Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
