Wooden classroom storage and furniture for group use
Classroom storage is what makes the rest of the range usable: low shelving a child can reach, carts that move a block set between rooms, and dividers that define a zone. We supply wooden storage and furniture sized for 3+ rooms, with anti-tip anchors and replaceable castors, MOQ from 20 pcs.
Teachers judge storage by two things: can a three-year-old reach it, and can it be tidied by the children? A shelf above shoulder height is adult storage; a shelf at child height is part of the curriculum.
This page covers the storage units we supply, the size table for a standard room, the stability and anchor requirements, and the purchase notes for schools fitting out several rooms at once.

Stability and safety
- Tall units ship with anti-tip wall anchors; fitting is required, not optional.
- Shelves are fixed or locked in position; no loose shelf that a child can lift out.
- Edges and corners rounded; fixings recessed on child-facing surfaces.
- Castors: locking, replaceable, rated for the loaded cart.
- Load rating stated per shelf; block carts are rated for a full block set.
Planning a room with storage
- Start with the areas: block corner, role-play, tabletop, quiet, art, coats.
- Give each area one storage unit at child height and one adult top shelf where needed.
- Keep units off walkways and away from doors; anchor anything over 90 cm.
- Label every unit with the model number and the contents so reorders and tidying match.
- Add one wheeled cart for every two rooms if block sets are shared.
Buying storage and furniture
- MOQ 20 pcs per model; large units are quoted per piece.

Where it goes in the room
- Block corner: open shelving sorted by shape, with a labelled outline on the shelf edge.
- Tray storage: low units that hold one activity per tray, matching the Montessori shelf.
- Block carts: a wheeled cart that lets one block set serve two rooms.
- Zone dividers: low units that define areas without blocking sight lines.
- Cubbies and coat storage: one compartment per child, labelled with a name slot.
What a purchasing manager checks
- What is the height and depth, and is every shelf reachable by a 3-year-old?
- Does the unit come with a wall anchor, and how is it fitted?
- Are castors replaceable, and do they lock?
- What is the load rating per shelf, and how many blocks does one cart hold?
- Are edges rounded and corners protected where children pass?
Questions buyers ask
- What height should classroom shelving be?
- The top shelf should sit around 90-100 cm for 3-5 year olds, with the working shelf at 60-80 cm. Units above that are adult storage and need to be out of the play zone.
- Are the units anchored?
- Yes - tall units ship with a wall anchor and fitting instructions. Low units are stable freestanding but can be anchored if the room requires it.
- Can storage match the block set?
- Yes. Block carts and shelving are sized around the standard unit block system, and the shelf edge can carry a printed shape outline for tidy-up.
