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.

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

Sturdy, Well-made, Beautiful!

When my business partner and I look to invest in new, quality shelving for our Montessori school, we are mostly concerned with durability and safety for the children. We want furniture that is going to last, won't topple over, and doesn't have finishes that chip. These shelves are absolutely gorgeous and give our classrooms a feel of warmth and care. We have the short, long, and tall models of these shelves. We also love that we can buy extra shelves, just in case one becomes damaged with the water pouring works. We are very happy with our purchases from Sprout!
