\nAs soon as I saw this adorable baby furniture I knew it had to be featured both in our print magazine and on our new In House blog. Its the stuff that makes us all want to have kids right now. You can see our choice crib (the Sam Crib) in the April issue, out soon, but meanwhile you can bask in these images.<\/p>\n
Not only was I impressed by the ultimate cuteness of this line, but I loved the safety of it and the thought that the designer put into making it all.<\/p>\n
Muu tells us that over 3.5 million cribs have been recalled and\/or subjected to regulatory action by the CPSC since the beginning of 2007 and not one of them was manufactured in the United States, giving just another reason to buy local and support the American economy and safety guidelines.<\/p>\n
The Story behind Muu is as follows: Robert Kwak, parent, entrepreneur and woodworker, was concerned with safety and quality when researching cribs for his first child. His daughter was born nine months later and his first collection of children\u2019s furniture, called Muu, debuted shortly after her birth. Muu is a modern children\u2019s furniture collection that is customizable, sustainable and Made in the USA. Muu is manufactured in upstate New York by a woodworking family with over three decades of experience.<\/p>\n
By producing Muu in the United States, Kwak is able to all sorts of things we dig:
\n\u2022 Maintain a high degree of quality control
\n\u2022 Go Green! Reduce the company’s carbon footprint by decreasing the distance traveled between the source of production and the customer “Manufacturing in the United States is a win for everyone: we support the local economy, reduce our environmental impact and are able to deliver a high-quality product with enduring value to our customers,” says Kwak.<\/p>\n
