Frequently Asked Questions
Furniture designed for healthier homes
When choosing furniture for children’s spaces, indoor air quality becomes an important consideration. Many materials used in furniture, finishes, and adhesives can release chemicals into the air over time.
GREENGUARD Gold-certified furniture is tested to ensure very low chemical emissions, helping create healthier indoor environments for homes, schools, and nurseries.
The GREENGUARD Gold certification is one of the strictest standards for indoor air quality, testing for 10,000+ substances. Products that meet this certification are meant to serve sensitive individuals, including babies and young children.
Our GREENGUARD certified furniture collection includes thoughtfully designed pieces that support everyday family life while helping reduce exposure to unnecessary indoor pollutants.
What the GREENGUARD Gold certification means for kids’ furniture
Furniture that is GREENGUARD Gold certified undergoes rigorous third-party testing to verify that it meets strict limits for chemical emissions.
For families, this means the furniture in your child’s space has been evaluated to help maintain cleaner indoor air quality.
Choosing GREENGUARD certified furniture can be especially important for:
• Nurseries and children’s bedrooms
• Playrooms and learning spaces
• Homes with infants or toddlers
• Families prioritizing low-emission materials
This certification helps ensure that furniture supports healthier indoor environments while maintaining durability and long-term use.
