Out of the pinks and blues comes … green? For years, the children’s furniture industry has done its trade in cutesy pastels, but as we’re now discovering from environmental agencies, these rainbow-hued pieces may have brought in more toxins than delight. This is where Q Collection Junior has taken its cue from, in the form of children’s furniture created from locally sourced, sustainable materials and labor. With an eye toward eliminating potentially harmful toxins like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in paints, Q Collection Junior holds itself to stringent standards to ensure the safest environment possible for infants’ rooms. A double advantage? The design of the furniture (like the Solare Changing Dresser, pictured here) matches the intention – clean, unfussy, practical, classic. Worth the investment, this piece can be used almost anywhere in the home for years to come. Visit the company’s website to find more information and products.
