Low VOC furniture hits the Aussie market with the new Leaf Series

Low VOC furniture is not new to the Australian market but as concern about the release of toxic fumes in nursery furniture increases, we can expect it to become an important purchasing consideration.

I saw the new Low VOC Leaf Series at The Baby Show, Melbourne and I like its clean lines and fresh look, particularly the new bassinet.

One of the Leaf Series' big selling points is the use of non toxic glues (i.e. no formaldehyde) in addition to lots of other non-toxic features such as latex mattresses.

The Leaf Series consists of a bassinet, cot and toddler bed conversion kit, drawers, nappy changer and all-natural and organic mattress which is the other key product in providing a low VOC sleeping space for your child.

Prices start at $199.00 for the bassinet and Leaf Series products are just becoming available in stores now.
