Their collection of furniture is definitely designed for the eco minded person and even if you may not be a "crunchy" mom you can still appreciate how thoughtfully these products have been made.
The fabrics that Oeko uses have natural fibers, greener polyester, and have recycled material or are recyclable. At first I thought this fact would make the cushions a little rough but I was wrong. No, they don't feel like silk but it's definitely comfortable to sit on.
Another amazing thing that makes Oeko a great product is the water-based paints, varnishes, stains and glues that are used. They are all either formaldehyde free or meets/exceeds the European Union E1 Standard and USA P1 standard; low or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s)! This makes me especially happy to hear since I'm sure at some point Kendall will be a curious little baby and try to eat a leg on the chair or something, lol. She's a crazy lil baby so I only expect the craziest things from her, haha.
Oeko sent us the Charlotte glider set to review. When it arrived I didn't know what to expect so it sat in the box for a while. I was not about to take on a project without John around to save me.
The glider did need to be full assembled but once hubby and I decided to tackled assembling the glider, it wasn't that hard. It took us about 45 minutes to put together. The directions were pretty clear except we had the chair on the base backwards because the directions did not explain which way it was supposed to be placed on the base.
Once we had it fully assembled John and Kendall sat in it and instantly fell asleep for 1/2 hour. I think they would have slept a lot longer but then the doorbell rang :(
We now rock Kendall almost every single night because she loves it so much.
As I said before, I received the Charlotte glider which has a locking mechanism. The Cassidy glider which is the same as Charlotte except it does not lock - it can be purchased from Babies R Us, Sears and even CSNstores.com!
Two winners will win the Cassidy Glider (non-locking)!
