Furniture

Bedroom furniture that favors solid wood and metal over MDF and particleboard.

Composite panels and their adhesives can contribute to indoor emissions.  We look for durable alternatives in drawer bottoms and cabinet backs as well as visible surfaces.  Approved blockboard—a core of wood strips faced with veneer—is disclosed where used, along with finishes and any plastic components.

Green Cradle Childspose Standard Armoire, Unfinished Brown Maple Green Cradle Childspose Standard Armoire, Unfinished Brown Maple USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Rounded edges soften the Childspose's full-height storage design, with enclosed shelving, hanging space and drawers in a 38-inch-wide cabinet.  Its USA-made construction uses solid wood even where many cabinets hide composite panels: the back and drawer bottoms.  We selected unfinished maple for buyers who prefer no factory-applied coating.  The surface still needs spill protection, and the cabinet needs proper wall anchoring.
