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: table 600mm across by 400mm high, chair seat 200mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge range: 18 months to 6 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: chairs tested to 60kg, table to 40kg\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 45 minutes for the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 16.2 kilograms for the set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTable height: 400mm fixed, or 300mm on the weaning set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat height: 200mm, which puts a two year old's feet flat on the floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChair back angle: 5 degrees, which is enough to lean on and not enough to tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChairs weigh under 2 kilograms so a child can carry their own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipeable finish, tested against the common household cleaners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatches the height ladder across the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo chairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelt pads for every foot with spares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 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. 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\u003eMost families buy this for one stage and then move on, and that is fine. It holds its value better than almost anything else in a child's room because it is solid timber with no printed decoration to date it, and we run a buy back on our own pieces at up to 40 per cent, refinish them and sell them as second life stock, which is the honest version of a sustainability page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kidsize","offers":[{"title":"Clear water based lacquer","offer_id":54054650708296,"sku":"KDS-TBC-001-CL","price":289.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chalk white","offer_id":54054650741064,"sku":"KDS-TBC-001-WH","price":309.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage green","offer_id":54054650773832,"sku":"KDS-TBC-001-SG","price":309.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Clay pink","offer_id":54054650806600,"sku":"KDS-TBC-001-CP","price":309.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0985\/0516\/3080\/files\/Low_Table_and_Two_Chairs_in_Solid_Beech.jpg?v=1789245138","url":"https:\/\/kidsizefurniture.com\/products\/low-table-and-two-chairs-in-solid-beech","provider":"Kidsize Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
