GREENGUARD Certified Furniture For Healthy Homes

In high concentrations, indoor air pollution is a problem that can be linked to several health conditions, especially for those with asthma or allergies. But this pollution doesn't come only from secondhand smoke—potential sources include many ordinary items, like household cleaners, paint and home furniture. Protect your family from these air pollutants by choosing furniture from West Elm's GREENGUARD Gold collection. The furnishings in this collection are perfect for use in nurseries, children's bedrooms and all other areas of the home.

What is GREENGUARD Certified Furniture?

The GREENGUARD Gold certification is given to products by UL Environment, a global safety company. This company runs rigorous independent testing to guarantee that their environmental standards are met. Each product in this collection has been tested for thousands of chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are known to pollute indoor air. Since they're all guaranteed to use low-emitting materials, these furnishings are suitable for use around children and the elderly, who are more susceptible to air pollutants.

GREENGUARD furniture items are also finished with water-based stains or paints that are not harmful to children. For upholstered products, the frames, fabrics and fillings used are all certified to GREENGUARD standards. In addition, West Elm GREENGUARD Certified furniture items are expertly tested to meet or exceed rigorous safety standards. Products like bookshelves and dressers also come with anti-tip kits so that they can be fastened securely to the wall.

Modern GREENGUARD Furniture

The furniture items in the GREENGUARD collection are not only healthy but also super stylish. Create a stunning nursery with convertible cribs and changing tables, available in colors like white, acorn and pebble gray. Add a cozy GREENGUARD glider chair and matching ottoman for nighttime feedings, plus a toy chest for storage. For older children, there are many loft and platform beds to choose from, as well as matching wooden dressers.

While GREENGUARD-certified furniture is perfect for kid's rooms, there are also many items available to furnish other spaces around the home. Design a healthy home office with beautiful mid-century desks and bookshelves. Choose from regular and mini desks to turn any area into a productive workspace. Versatile media consoles can also be used for extra storage in office spaces, or as a television stand in the living room. Complete your healthy home with GREENGUARD-certified entryway benches and shoe racks, which are great for adding storage and organization to your front or back entrances.
