Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL
What is your lead time for your furniture?
Our lead time on Brooklyn Collection products is between 12-18 weeks. This depends on the size of the project and the time of year.
For a specific lead time please send us an email with the desired products to info@casakids.com.
I need something today. What's in stock at your showroom?
Because most of our products are made to order it is difficult for us to have products in stock at our showroom.
At times we do carry pieces from the Essentials Collection in the showroom. If you'd like to pick something up please give us a call beforehand to see if it's available that day.
How high do the ceilings in my home need to be for a loft or bunk bed?
We prefer a ceiling height of 8' 3". You want at least 3' from the top mattress to the ceiling. But don't worry, we can customize the height of your loft bed if you have low ceilings.

What's the difference between Brooklyn Collection and Essentials Collection?
Our Brooklyn Collection is made right at our Red Hook, Brooklyn workshop by our team of woodworking specialists. At our shop we can create custom pieces unique to your needs. Everything from our Brooklyn Collection is made to order and has a varying lead time depending on the size of the project.
The Essentials Collection is our ready made furniture line. It consists of the basics needed for in your home. Manufactured in Europe, the Essentials ships flat packed through UPS ground allowing us to offer it at a lower price point than our Brooklyn made collection. Essentials has no customizing options, each product is available in a beautiful birch finish with white accents. Please be sure to check each products specifications before purchasing to avoid any mistakes.
What is a custom project? What's a standard project?
Within the Brooklyn Collection, we have both standard and custom projects. Both of these types of projects carry a 8-12 week lead time and are made to order.
Standard projects are our furniture pieces ordered without any customization to them. Options available on each product page are standard.
Custom projects, while sometimes based off some of our standard products, feature customizations made to the piece that are not typically available. These are customizations you'd have to speak with our team about directly. Some examples of customizations are adjusting the dimensions to a product, ordering a piece with custom colors like blue, or having us make a piece that isn't listed on our website.
Additionally, the Essentials Collection is always standard and ships within a week of order.
I've seen a room tour with a product that isn't listed in your shop, can I get the same piece?
Absolutely! We can replicate any custom piece for you. Just let us know which piece by emailing us with the name of the room or filling out the room form.
Do you make bunk beds with slides?
We do not. Slides can be dangerous when attached to beds and your child's safety is our top concern.
Will you make a fire truck or princess castle beds?
We prefer to create a neutral environment and let the children's imagination take them places. To really maximize the longevity of our products, we keep our designs clean and simple. So that when your child grows out of a certain phase, their furniture will remain timeless.
ORDERS
Is a mattress included with my bed?for your furniture?
Mattresses are not included with purchase of bunk, loft, tuck, or floor beds. We can give you recommendations if you need help finding one. As always we recommend all upper beds to use mattresses of 8" thickness at most.
If you are purchasing a Marino Junior Bed, mattress and sheets are included.
What's you return and order cancellation policy?
All of our Brooklyn Collection products are handmade just for you . Once you place an order, we cannot cancel the order, refund your money, or return delivered furniture.

SAFETY AND MATERIAL
Is there formaldehyde in any of your products?
No, safe products are incredibly important to us. Visit this pageto learn more about our materials.
What materials and finishes do you use?
For most projects we use Baltic birch plywood. Our finishes are water-based, non-toxic, acrylic and have no VOC’s. We also leave the edges exposed since birch is a very strong wood and the lines that show in the edges have a natural appeal. You can read more about the advantage of Baltic birch plywood here.
Just how safe are your products?
Safety is a top priority at Casa Kids. All of our products meet or exceed the U.S. mandatory and voluntary safety standards developed by the ASTM. Our furniture is manufactured entirely in our woodshop in Brooklyn, allowing us to control the process from start to finish. This guarantees that we oversee the materials that go into our projects, the safety and well-being of our workers and the quality of the furniture we produce.
Why do you use plywood?
There's plenty of reasons why we use plywood. It's strength, durability, and modern look are perfect for children's furniture. Read more about our plywood here.
