Movable shelf with 3 toy boxes

Movable shelves - shelves that help you tidy up better -

This adjustable shelf is designed to be used by children from around 3 years old. The bottom is deep, and the depth gets narrower as you go up. When a child stands in front of the shelf at eye level, this gently curved shape makes it easy for them to recognize what is placed on the shelf, and their eyes naturally go to the toys and picture books.

The center shelf is movable.

If you put the shelf on the top, you can store notebooks and teaching materials up to A4 size on the bottom. The top shelf is narrow, but it can be used conveniently to store toys and drawers. Please change it according to your belongings.

Measures to prevent items from falling

The adjustable shelves do not have back panels. Each shelf has a riser to prevent items from falling off. The top shelf can be used as a bookshelf, to display toys, or to display your computer or photos.

Comes with 3 toy boxes

The adjustable shelves come with three toy boxes. The toy boxes have handles on both sides for easy use, and are deep enough to store a variety of items, including clothes, toys, and books.

Recommended point 1: No partitions

The convenience of the adjustable shelves is that there are no partitions in the space where the toy boxes are placed. Without partitions, it is easy to take things in and out, and even small children can use it easily. There is no particular place to put them. Also, since there is some space in the frame, it encourages children to tidy up freely even at a stage when they have little awareness of space (around 3 years old). With commercially available furniture, where the toy boxes are made to fit perfectly in the frame, it is difficult to put them back in place. The adjustable shelves are made so that parents and children can have fun tidying up together. That is the idea behind it.

Recommended point 2: Take a look at life at a nursery school as a reference

Children between the ages of 2 and 5 are often used to life in nursery school, so providing a similar environment at home will encourage them to act on their own. The reason for having drawers at the bottom is almost the same as the position of the drawers in nursery school lockers. In other words, you pull out the drawers, search for and take out what's inside, and when tidying up, pull out all the drawers and use the area in front of the furniture as a workspace. Although it takes time, this encourages children to act on their own and tidy up on their own. There are many advantages to having drawers at the bottom and being able to easily take things in and out.

Recommended point 3: Handles on both sides

The toy box has handles on both sides. So you can put things in and take them out without thinking about the front and back. The cutout is 8cm, which is large enough for an adult to hold, so it's not difficult to hold. Even if you no longer use it as a shelf set, it's still convenient. You can store clothes, books, and towels in the bathroom. You can put it in your car when you go out for a little while. It's very useful.

Recommended point #4: About the back panel

The movable shelves do not have back panels. There are two reasons for this. The first is to reduce weight. If a woman is at home alone, it is difficult to move furniture that is too heavy. We attach felt to the bottom of the furniture to make it as light as possible so that even a woman can push it alone. The second reason is versatility. For example, if you use something that requires wiring, a back panel is inconvenient and doesn't look very good. So we make it so that the cord can be pulled out from the back.

Commitment to safety

Nakayoshi Library's children's furniture is primarily made from cypress from Kochi Prefecture. The trees are 50 to 70 years old and are of high quality. As there are few knots and only the best parts are used, the cost of materials is not cheap, but the longer you use it, the more it will turn amber and improve in luster. As time goes on, artificial wood grain "looks" are often used, but considering the harm to humans caused by harmful substances released from adhesives, we still prefer to provide natural wood for children.

~ Uses safe and natural paints

The process that Nakayoshi Library spends the most time on is painting and polishing. We place great importance on the safety of polishing for children, so we round the corners and finish so that they don't hurt when they touch it. We polish the pieces many times to make them smooth. And then there's the paint. We use vegetable-derived Libos oil for the paint. We polish the pieces while allowing vegetable oils such as linseed oil and perilla oil to penetrate the wood. It's not a petroleum-based paint, so it has no unpleasant odor and brings out the wood grain. Best of all, it's harmless to the human body, so you can apply it without a mask. Of course, we use the same paint for the toys as well.

The place of origin and manufacturing status are also disclosed.

The main body of the furniture is made from cypress from Kochi Prefecture. And the bottom of the drawers is made from a single plank of cedar from Nara Prefecture. This furniture is made from 100% domestic materials and 100% manufactured in-house. Even though we use wood, we don't know how it came from or whether it was disinfected or not. We buy the wood ourselves, manufacture and process our furniture ourselves, and ship it out, so we can deliver "good products" with confidence. The details are also available on the web, so please rest assured.

Always feel good!!

Our idea of ​​comfortable furniture is of course the service from purchase to delivery and the after-sales support after use, but the most important thing is the "feel" of the furniture. This polishing process is the most repeated process in the production process and takes the most time. When you touch the furniture you receive, you will notice that the corners are rounded and carefully polished, making it a user-friendly finish.

About cleaning up

Children observe what adults do very closely, and then they begin to imitate. If those who are thinking of tidying up follow this example, first the mother or father should demonstrate how to tidy up in a way that looks like they are having a lot of fun. When children see this, they will think it looks fun and will gradually start to imitate them. I think it's a good idea to tidy up the items on a cute, adjustable shelf, so that they can be displayed as decorations. If children have the mindset that tidying up is fun, then putting things back in a designated place can also be enjoyed as a form of play.

After delivery

There is only one package. You can use it as soon as you open the cardboard box. No assembly is required.

Ingenuity to avoid damaging your precious home

Please place the enclosed felt pads under the legs to make moving the furniture easier and to protect your floor.

This is a characteristic of wood. Thank you for your understanding.

By using natural wood and applying a coating that brings out the grain of the wood, the wood continues to breathe even after it is made into a product and delivered to your home. It expands in humid seasons and shrinks when it dries. This is a characteristic of wood that artificial materials do not have. If the shelves are wobbly or the drawers are a little difficult to pull out, this is likely due to wood shrinkage. Please contact Nakayoshi Library if there is a defect at the initial stage.

Please understand that we use simple packaging.

At Nakayoshi Library, we use simple packaging to make effective use of resources and to avoid leaving waste at customers' homes as much as possible. Items are delivered without air caps (bubble wrap), but we do seal the corners, so it's not a case of cutting corners. *This acts as a better cushioning material than air caps. We are careful with packaging and inspection, but if you find any major scratches or dents after unpacking, please contact us. We will deal with the issue immediately.

Creator's Column

The wooden furniture at Nakayoshi Library is carefully calculated to be easy to use and to suit children, with heights and widths tailored to suit them. For example, the adjustable shelves are just in time for a child to reach the shelves when standing up. Normally, a child would bump their head against the top shelf, but the shelves are narrower in depth as they go up, and have a gentle curve. They are also perfectly cool to use for adults.
