Tall wooden formaldehyde free montessori shelves for children

Montessori Shelf 3-Tier$300.00

The Montessori Shelf 3 Tier is a versatile, thoughtfully designed storage solution that supports independence, organization, and child led learning at every stage. Rooted in Montessori principles, this open shelf allows children to see, reach, and return their materials with ease, encouraging ownership of their space and confidence in daily routines.

Handmade in our shop from premium Baltic birch wood, the shelf balances strength with a clean, timeless design that fits naturally into any learning environment. Its open structure creates an inviting space that nurtures curiosity, focus, and exploration, making it well suited for playrooms, bedrooms, and classrooms alike.

With a generous 12 inches of space between each shelf, children of all ages can comfortably access toys, books, and learning materials. Younger children benefit from the low, open design, while older children continue to use the full height of the shelf as their interests and activities grow. Each shelf is built to be exceptionally sturdy, supporting up to 150 pounds.

Available in multiple lengths, the Montessori Shelf 3 Tier is easy to mix and match with other RAD pieces to create a cohesive setup that works for your space. The shelf ships unassembled, with tools and clear instructions included for straightforward setup.

Designed primarily for indoor use, this shelf may also be used outdoors for short periods, though prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight is not recommended.

Domestic orders are shipped via UPS Ground, and transit may take up to 5-7 business days depending on your location. Please note that our team does not operate on weekends and federal holidays.

Is assembly easy? Tools? How do I assemble?

Our furniture requires minimal assembly, needing only an Allen key, which we provide along with online instructions. If your order includes over 20 screws, we'll also include hex drill bits to make assembly quicker. An electric drill could be useful but isn't necessary. You can find all our assembly instructions here.

How should I clean for my RAD furniture?

To clean your furniture, use a non-toxic mixture of vinegar and warm water. Spray the surface and immediately wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Never soak or immerse wooden furniture in water as it can cause the wood to swell and deform.

Can I use my furniture outside?

You can use your furniture outdoors but don't leave it outside for longer than necessary, as it's not designed to withstand extended exposure to outdoor elements. After use, wipe down the surface with a dry cloth. Leaving your furniture outside may void your warranty.

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for unused products in their original packaging. If you receive a damaged or defective item, contact our support team within 7 days of delivery for an exchange or replacement. Please note, customized or assembled items are non-returnable.
