When it comes to cribs and other children’s furniture, consumers increasingly

want products to be safe, natural and organic, as well as made in an environmentally

friendly way. Meeting that demand on all counts is Kids Collection Organic, which

is the primary wholesale distributor of Kid’s Comfort Organic, a high-quality, ecofriendly

children’s furniture line.

Hand-crafted and hand-assembled by skilled craftsmen in Holmes County, Ohio,

the Kid’s Comfort Organic collection combines natural, chemical-free

materials with meticulous construction detailing to create furniture

that exceeds all safety regulations and standards. Only solid wood –

no plywood or particleboard – is used, and all stains and finishes are

water soluble, food safe, 100 percent VOC free, and certified to contain

no chemicals or chemical preservatives.

“Our products have always been made with child-safe varnishes

and have met ASTM and consumer product safety standards,” says

Terry Austin, general manager of Kids Collection. “Now, we’re going

even further to provide an option for parents who are organic minded

and concerned about their children’s furniture being totally chemicalfree.”

The Kid’s Comfort Organic furniture begins with wood from locally

harvested trees, which are replanted after harvests in accordance with

the Ohio Forestry Association. Each piece is hand-assembled using

a water-based glue that is very low chemical; and the products are

finished by hand-rubbing two coats of organic stain and one coat of

clear natural organic wood finish.

“Many people think that water-based finishes, including tung oil,

are chemical free – but most are not,” Austin says. “Our finishes are

made with organic raw materials from plants, minerals, and other

natural raw materials, and contain absolutely no chemicals. What’s

more, they are available in several different colors.”

Along with its organic and environmentally friendly qualities, Kid’s Comfort

Organic furniture offers another important attribute: its beauty and distinctive

styling. The line includes cribs, armoires, chests, dressers, and night stands in a

range of styles from Shaker and Mission to Cottage, Manhattan, Legacy and Heritage

designs. Delivery is available throughout the U.S. at “very reasonable rates,” Austin
