Quality & Safety
We know you have questions, so we have answers. A lot of them. Because kids' furniture isn't just something we do, it's our passion.
What are Max & Lily® beds made from?
Max & Lily® beds are made with knot-free, solid wood. In other words, a strong, sturdy bed that is safe for your little ones!
What are the benefits of solid wood?
Max & Lily beds crafted with solid wood provide a high-weight capacity and enhanced durability. We even take that a step further by making sure each wood piece is free of knots, creating a more stable frame and a clean look.
What does low VOC mean?
Low VOC means there are no harmful chemicals included in our paints and finishes. Safety is our number one concern at Max & Lily®, so we test our beds yearly to ensure that your kid sleeps safe.
What types of glues and finishes are used?
We only use water-based glues on our furniture and all our finishes comply with current children's furniture standards.
What is the weight capacity per bed?
Each sleeping surface is tested to hold up to 400 pounds of resting weight. So go ahead, snuggle up to read a book with your kiddo.
What are the benefits of plywood slats?
Our layered plywood slats are more durable and pliable than standard wood slats. We also offer an upgraded slat roll line in our accessories section if you want extra support for your super plushy mattress.
Do I need slats, box spring or a bunkie board?
All our beds include a slat roll which is designed to provide support to your mattress while also allowing your mattress to breathe. No need to purchase an additional box spring or bunkie board.
How tall are the guardrails?
Our guardrails are 14 inches tall. We recommend using a low-profile mattress (5 inches) to get the most out of your guardrails. If your kiddo likes to roll around, we've got you covered!
Take a look at our fit and measurement guide for more information on mattress best fit.
Do your dressers include anti-tip kits?
Yes! Every one of our dressers includes an anti-tip kit to provide a secure attachment to the wall. Each dresser has been tested and complies with the ASTM F2057 anti-tip standard. Anti-tip kits must be installed and attached to the wall per the assembly instructions.
For help installing the anti-tip kit or if you need a free replacement, please contact our Customer Care team.
What are other Max & Lily® safety features?
Check out some of the great safety features included in our designs:
- Patented hardware for strong connections
- Anti-slip steps
- Metal underbed support bar for added support
Do your mattresses contain fiberglass?
No, our mattresses include a safe, fire-retardant liner that is made without fiberglass or harmful chemicals.
Is there an age requirement for loft bed or bunk beds?
Generally, we recommend loft beds and top bunk beds for ages 6+
Can the bunk beds be separated?
Yes! Our Triple Bunk Bed, Twin over Twin Bunk Bed, Full over Full Bunk Bed, and Twin over Full Bunk Bed with ladders can be separated into individual beds.
Can the low bunks separate, too?
No, our low bunks have four long legs that cannot be separated.
We've always thought that kids furniture should be made with kids in mind. That's why along with being super functional and fun, our beds are crafted with the same care and attention you would give to your kids.
