Love the Casa Kids look but need furniture sooner? The Essentials Collection is our ready-made line of modern kids' bedroom furniture — thoughtfully designed, built to last, and ready to ship. Each piece follows our design ethos of function over decor and durability above all, in a clean birch finish with white accents that works in almost any room.

What Makes the Essentials Collection Different

Essentials is our answer for families who love our Brooklyn Collection but are on a time crunch. Here's what sets it apart.

Ready to ship, fast

Unlike our made-to-order Brooklyn pieces, Essentials furniture is ready-made and ships flat-packed through UPS Ground, usually within a week of your order. It's the quickest way to get quality Casa Kids design into your child's room.

A more accessible price point

Because these pieces are produced in Europe and shipped flat-packed, we can offer them at a lower price than our custom Brooklyn work — without stepping away from the modern, functional style Casa Kids is known for.

Functional, durable, and built to adapt

Every Essentials piece is designed to grow with your child through changing ages and tastes. You can read more about our approach and the materials we use across our collections.

Explore the Essentials Collection

The Essentials line covers a full bedroom, from the crib years through the school years. Here's a closer look.

Beds and bunks

Cabina Bunk Bed

The Cabina Bunk Bed brings our signature stacked design to the Essentials line, with an attached ladder and clean cutout details — ideal for shared rooms.

Cabina Loft Bed & L-Shaped Loft Bed

The Cabina Loft Bed lifts the sleeping area to open up play or study space underneath, while the Cabina L-Shaped Loft Bed adds an angled footprint for corner layouts.

Cabina Twin Bed & Daybed

The straightforward Cabina Twin Bed and the Cabina Daybed with integrated storage drawers are simple, sturdy foundations for a growing child's room.

Aspen Loft Bed

The Aspen Loft Bed is the collection's most complete sleep-and-study solution, combining a staircase, desk, shelving, and wardrobe in one piece.

Nursery

Cabina Crib

Start early with the Cabina Crib, designed to coordinate with the rest of the Cabina line as the nursery becomes a big-kid room.

Storage, desks, and add-ons

Dressers and cabinets

The Cabina Dresser, Luna Cabinet, and Cabina Storage Drawers keep clothes, toys, and books organized.

Desk, chair, and bedside

Round out a workspace with the Cabina Hanging Desk, Cabina Chair, and clip-on Cabina Hanging Tray. Add a Cabina Trundle Bed for sleepovers.
