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.

This is truly the cutest, most beautifully made Montessori shelf I’ve ever seen! The instructions were clear and simple, the finish is flawless, and the tiered design gives it such an elevated look. It holds nine toys perfectly for rotation, and I love that the mounting hardware is included. Amazing quality—I'll definitely be coming back to RAD for future furniture!
Perfect for 10 month old. She really likes playing with things on top of it. She'll be able to use for years.
If you’re reading this and considering this table…BUY IT! I’m so pleased with the quality, it’s heavy! The responsive and helpful team at RAD kindly left my order unfinished so that I could apply stain and I’m pleased with the result. It arrived so insanely well packaged, that alone must have taken them hours. This small, USA business doesn’t take any shortcuts. They define craftsmanship!
This is wonderful for my two-under-two. Easy to assemble and plenty of room even for a third toddler! Very easy to move around the kitchen as well (i.e. not too heavy) but still very stable. I added a stair tread traction strip to the edge of the top and the step to give kids a little more traction when wearing socks. 🙂 Picture taken before traction was added.
