Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in a space design consultation?
We discuss your room size, age group, educational approach, and budget. I create a tailored proposal with layout sketches and curated product recommendations from trusted European makers.
How long does the design process take?
Most consultations and proposals take 2-3 weeks from initial contact. Delivery and installation timelines depend on product availability and your project scope.
Are all products certified for institutional use? What about safety and warranty?
Absolutely. Every product we recommend meets EN71 European safety standards for children's furniture and toys. All pieces are sourced from certified European makers with rigorous quality control. We provide documentation of all certifications with your order. Products come with manufacturer warranties (typically 2-5 years depending on the item).
Do you offer institutional discounts or flexible payment terms?
Yes. We offer volume discounts for larger institutional orders and can discuss flexible payment arrangements for schools and daycares. Payment options include upfront payment, deposit + final payment, or installment plans depending on project scope. We also work with institutional procurement processes and can provide invoicing tailored to your accounting requirements. Contact us to discuss options that work best for your institution.
How are delivery and installation handled for institutional orders?
We coordinate all logistics directly with your institution. Most European deliveries take 2-4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on product availability and your location. We work with trusted logistics partners to ensure safe delivery.
What's the minimum project scope or order quantity?
There's no strict minimum order quantity. We work with institutions of all sizes - from small home-based daycares to large school networks. Project scope typically ranges from €3,000 to €50,000+ depending on room size, age groups served, and design complexity. We're happy to discuss flexible options that fit your budget and timeline.
