Materials

Our School Montessori Shelves are made from sturdy, durable, safe materials and are covered by our 10-year warranty. This allows you to continue using it in a learning environment over a very long period of time.

  • Constructed from UV-finished Baltic Birch, so it's made to last
  • All edges are sealed to ensure they can handle learning environments.

Additional information on our materials can be found on our Materials Page.

For home environments that aren't intended to serve a larger group, the Home Montessori Open Back shelving is at a slightly lower price point without the additional seal and can be another great option.

Safe & Effective Use

  • To clean, follow our Proper Use and Cleaning guide
  • School Montessori Open Back Shelves are not intended for outdoor use.

Simply Beautiful

We ordered 2 of these for our preschool. We love how sturdy they are and the subtle design features within the simple, straight lines of these beautiful shelves. (Look at the "feet" on the side panels!) The subtle design features mean that you need to pay careful attention when putting them together. (The directions are clear, but rushing is not recommended, per experience!) We are so excited to have purchased these shelves and look forward to years of use.
