Tested like a toy, built like furniture

Toys for under-threes must meet a mandatory safety standard here. Children's furniture doesn't. We test ours to the toy standard anyway — including the EN 71-3 migration test, which screens for 19 elements a child could chew or scratch loose.

Real wood, traced back to the forest
