Timberkids

Timberkids is a local workshop making wooden furniture and accessories for children’s rooms. Its showroom and workshop are at 2B Ștefan Vodă Street in Vatra, next to Durlești, and it delivers across Chișinău and the rest of the country.

The website puts Montessori- and Pikler-style pieces first: climbing triangles, ramps and rockers, learning towers with a board, baby walkers, small tables and chairs. The range also covers cots and beds, wardrobes, mirrors, shelves and bookcases, desks, canopies, and doll prams and cradles. Pieces can be made to your own design, and instalment payment is available.

There are only a few reviews so far, mostly excellent: parents praise the quality of the wood and finish, cots built exactly to their requirements and the fact that everything is made locally. There was one complaint — a cot that cracked after a long wait — so for larger orders it is worth agreeing on lead time and warranty upfront. Contacts are on this listing, the catalogue at timberkids.md.
