For a positively safe and sturdy product, and one with the environment in mind, Pacific Rim Woodworking cribs are as good as it gets. Pacific Rim uses Western Maple wood that is harvested as a secondary product during softwood harvests. By using as much of the maple wood as possible (wood pieces that cannot be used are donated to local schools for woodshop projects), employing a recycling program and recycling sawdust into compost at a local garden center, Pacific Rim proves that they are dedicated to providing quality baby furniture while minimizing their impact on Earth. Cribs are made in Eugene, Oregon and finished in tung oil and beeswax, which is non-toxic. Visit Dax Stores for more information on cribs from Pacific Rim Woodworking.
