Double Height Montessori Shelves - Old Style with Adjustable Height Shelf

These shelves have an adjustable middle height rather than fixed like the new style.  

Middle shelf can be placed 9.85", 11.42" or 13" from the top edge of the bottom shelf.  

For children under 3, families prefer the new style because they don't want their child to be able to move the middle shelf at all.  

Product Description: 

Why choose Montessori shelves over a toy bin?

Montessori shelves provide young children with more independence than traditional toy bins by allowing them easy access to whatever toys and materials they like. 

The shelves also allow for organization of materials at an age when order is very important. Between 1-2.5 children are in what Montessori refers to as the sensitive period for order. This is a time when order brings a level of control to a child’s life. 

These shelves prevents little ones from becoming overwhelmed and allows them to begin the skill of classification - all the balls go in one basket, this puzzle goes on this tray, etc.

Our beautiful design is unfinished and beautiful on it's own or can be finished with a water-based varnish.

These shelves are the perfect size for any living room or bedroom where you'd like to setup a small work/toy shelf. They're handmade in Canada of baltic birch, furniture-grade plywood.

5 Minute Assembly! Can be done quickly with only a screwdriver. 

Double Height: 36″W x 28″H x 14″D

Please note that these are handmade and as such will have variations in colour, size, wood grain, and finish. This uniqueness is the wonderful part about these items.
