Norsta3 Kids Bookshelf

Both series start from the same idea. A child explores at their own pace and grows by making their own choices, a way of thinking that has much in common with Montessori education.

The two take different routes. Norsta builds independence through creativity and free play. Buono builds independence through an orderly space and focused learning.

[Norsta vs Buono: Which Kids Desk Set Fits Your Child?]

An ordinary study desk is built for children of primary-school age and up. Norsta is designed to be used from around 1.5 years.

The biggest difference is the height adjustment. The tabletop and the seat each have three height settings, so your child keeps a good posture with the soles of their feet flat on the floor, and the habit of sitting down at a desk grows naturally.

Add the Norsta3 Kids Bookshelf and the Norsta3 Kids Toy Rack, and the set carries a child from playing to learning.

Yes. The build is simple: you tighten bolts with the Allen key supplied, and you don't need any special tools.

Allow about 30 minutes on your own, or about 20 minutes with two people. There's an assembly video to follow as you go.

You don't need to buy large storage furniture at the start. Build it up in step with your child's growth and interests.

Begin with what a child can reach and manage on their own, such as the drawer of their desk. That supports the habit of putting their own things back in their own place.

As toys and picture books build up, add a toy rack with a carry box, such as the Norsta3 Kids Toy Rack. Tidying up then stays part of playing.
