The Cutting Table · a question, worked through

Is the sofa fabric OEKO-TEX certified, and is it treated with flame retardants?

Parents ask this before they ask about color, and they are right to. The sofa is going where the baby naps.

The quick answer

The sofa and cushion fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), and the certificate can be checked on the official OEKO-TEX site, which lists the manufacturer, scope and validity. The workshop shares the certificate on request. The standard fabric is not treated to be fire-retardant; asked about flame retardants or a Prop 65 label, the workshop pointed to the certification.

“Is the outer fabric OEKO-TEX certified?”

Yes, neighbor. The fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), and the workshop sends the certificate if you ask. Don't take a PDF on faith: type its number into the official OEKO-TEX site, where the listing shows the manufacturer, what the certificate covers and how long it is valid.

The OEKO-TEX Pattern explains what the label does and doesn't cover, and the glossary entry keeps it short.

“Then is it treated with flame retardants?”

Here is the plain truth. When a buyer in the US asked, the reply pointed to the OEKO-TEX certification rather than a separate statement about treatments. What the workshop has said elsewhere is that the standard fabric isn't treated to be fire-retardant, and fire-retardant fabrics have been offered on request.

If fire rules matter in your house, read TB 117-2013 explained and how to check for added flame retardants before you order.

“And the Prop 65 label?”

The same buyer asked whether the sofa carries a California Prop 65 warning. Again the answer was the certification, with the certificate offered on request. A Prop 65 warning and an OEKO-TEX label say different things, so it's fair to ask about both.

On a porch, you trust what you can see and sit on. For a nursery, the paperwork comes first. What would you want to read before a kids' floor sofa moves in?

An OEKO-TEX certificate number can be looked up on the official OEKO-TEX site, which shows the manufacturer, the scope and how long it is valid.

Questions buyers ask next

Where do I verify an OEKO-TEX certificate number?

On the official OEKO-TEX website. Enter the number from the certificate the workshop sends; the result shows the manufacturer, the scope of the certificate and its validity dates, so you can see whether it is current.

Can I see the kids' floor sofa in real photos first?

Yes. Ask in messages and the workshop sends real customer photos, videos and reels, including someone sitting on the sofa for scale and close-ups of the details, or links to similar finished pieces.

Does a kids' floor sofa need assembly?

Only the bars need connecting. The standard floor sofa comes with 4 identical metal bars, 2 for the sides and 2 for the back. The cushions arrive ready in their covers, and a setup video is available on request.
