Montessori Storage Shelf

While the colour of plastic will fade over time and the plastic itself becoming highly brittle and dangerous (not ideal in an environment full of boisterous kids), wooden furniture has so much more to commend it. Aesthetically calming on the eye, warm and tactile to the touch, and ultra-resistant to heavy-duty everyday use, birchwood furniture takes a lot of beating, as does this smart and functional Montessori storage shelf. When children have a thirst for visual stimulation, doesn’t it make more sense to keep items they interact with on display rather than hidden away in a storage chest?
