Grimm's Furniture Info & Care Guide

At Conscious Craft, we are proud to offer a thoughtful range of handcrafted Grimm's furniture designed to support children’s independence, imagination, and connection with the natural world. Below you’ll find answers to some common questions about how Grimm's furniture is made and how best to care for it.

Where is the furniture made, and what materials are used?

All of Grimm's furniture is made in Hochdorf, a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Every piece is lovingly sawn, assembled, sanded, treated (if requested), and carefully packed in their joinery workshop before being shipped.

They use high-quality birch plywood sourced from sustainable forests in Northern and Eastern Europe. This wood is strong, durable, and has a beautiful, light natural grain that adds calmness and warmth to any space.

From what age is GRIMM’S furniture suitable?

We recommend Grimm's furniture for children from the time they begin to sit or walk independently. At this stage, little ones are eager to explore, interact, and engage with their surroundings—and Grimm's furniture is designed to meet their proportions and support their development.

For babies who are not yet mobile, furniture is generally not necessary for direct interaction. However, once curiosity kicks in, our pieces become meaningful companions for imaginative play and everyday learning.

Why is the wood untreated?

Grimm's furniture is delivered untreated to preserve the natural breathability of the wood, which contributes to a healthy indoor environment. It also allows you the flexibility to finish the surface in a way that suits your home, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

How do you recommend treating the wood?

To protect the surface while maintaining its beautiful natural appearance, we suggest treating your furniture with OSMO Hardwax Oil:

First coat: Apply Osmo Hardwax Oil Effect Natural Matt 3041. This formula includes subtle white pigments to help prevent the wood from darkening.
Once dry, sand lightly with fine-grain sandpaper.
Second coat: Apply Osmo Polyx-Oil 3062 Clear Matt for added durability and a soft, matte finish.

Please note: The wood may feel slightly rough at first after treatment due to the fibres lifting. This is natural and will smooth out with time and use.

How should I clean the furniture?

For regular cleaning, we recommend the gentlest method:

Use a damp cloth and, if needed, a little mild soapy water
Wipe gently and allow to dry naturally at room temperature
Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight for drying
Do not use harsh cleaning agents, disinfectants, or hot water
