Question 1

Is this furniture suitable to use beyond the nursery years (kids room)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, longevity is at the very heart of what we create. While designed with the nursery in mind, our chests of drawers are crafted to transition effortlessly into a child's bedroom as they grow, offering the same timeless elegance and practicality well beyond the early years. It is furniture intended to be lived with, not outgrown.

Question 2

Are your toy trunks safe for young children (lid hinges, finger-pinch protection)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every toy trunk is fitted with slow-release, soft-close hinges designed to protect little fingers as the lid closes. Safety is never an afterthought in our workshop, it is considered alongside every line and finish, so you can let playtime unfold with complete peace of mind.

Question 3

Will it match other pieces in my nursery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each chest and changer is designed as part of a coordinated collection: Petit Palais, Heritage Haven and Honey Cot so your chest of drawers, cot bed and nursing chair share the same finish, hand-painted motifs and hardware.

Question 4

How do I clean and care for it?

Accepted Answer

Dust the exterior with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals on the painted finish. The faux leather lining inside wipes clean, so spills and stray crayons aren't a crisis.

Question 5

Does it still have a use once the toys are gone?

Accepted Answer

Many families keep it on as a blanket box or a keepsake trunk for christening gifts, school reports and childhood treasures — it's built to outlast the toy stage, not just survive it.

Question 6

Is it sturdy enough for a child to sit or stand on?

Accepted Answer

It's built from solid wood and designed as a storage piece rather than a step or seat. We'd recommend keeping little feet off the lid to protect both the child and the hand-painted finish.

Question 7

What size toy trunk is best for a nursery vs. a playroom?

Accepted Answer

For a nursery, a smaller trunk often suits best, neatly holding the early essentials of soft toys and blankets without overwhelming the room. In a playroom, where collections grow alongside your child, our larger trunks offer generous storage for everything from building blocks to dressing-up clothes. Our concierge team is always happy to help you choose the perfect size for your space.

Question 8

Is the wood treated to resist scratches and spills?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each trunk is finished with a protective coating that guards against the everyday scuffs, scratches, and spills of childhood, while preserving the warmth and character of the handcrafted finish beneath. Beauty, in our pieces, is always built to last.
