Thick angular frames against simple spindles offer a contrast that we love. Textured surfaces against clean solid objects provide a strong feeling of cubism that would make Picasso and Klee proud daddies. Our Two-tone finish adds yet another dimension to shapes and elements that are simple, yet sophisticated. Cribs and Case pieces ordered in our Mud with Snow finish, offer solid wood frames, heavily sandblasted, to reveal the natural topography of the woodgrain. The unique characture of the tree used in construction makes each piece a one of a kind masterpiece! We chose to finish the True Collection using contrast in color and texture, pairing a clean, fresh white with earthy warm age and wear. Pure passion from mother nature herself! The True Collection comes to you in the perfect finish, Mud with Snow. After mixing hundreds of white formulas at the Valspar lab. Milk Street?s Snow is the best white you will find. While it may seem easily achieved, we believe white is the toughest color to mix. It must be clean and simple with no yellow or pink undertones to be found. Every True Crib is a one of a kind work of art. The unique distressing techniques and color mix offers total depth with a multifaceted brown grey. The woodgrain of our Mud finish shows like mountain ranges, with peaks and valleys all of which reflect light at different angles. It offers a perfect contrast to Snow. •5-Drawer Dresser-(also called a 5-drawer high chest) We continue to try to implement an anti-tip drawer locking system. While we have not gotten there yet, this is a goal we are striving for! Milk Street is currently the only child-focused, furniture company truly addressing this relevant issue. In light of several incidents involving chests tipping and falling over, we are making the safety of our 5-drawer, the one tall case we produce, a priority. By law, the anti-tip hardware is included and must be attached to a wall stud for optimal efficiency.The safety of you and your child is an area where we will continue to make strides ensuring that Milk Street is providing you with the best furniture for your baby. The two top drawers on all our 5-drawer dressers have single, inside dividers creating separate storage sections within the drawers for added organization. •CASES All of our cases are artisan built out of solid wood construction. The cases in the True Collection do use MDF as one of our materials. In order to get a smooth modern look and feel, this material does work best. Our cases require no assembly. Corner blocks are added to case frames for reinforced stability. Drawer boxes are built large for extra storage space with 15mm thick, sturdy sides. Each individual drawer box is also built with corner blocks to add strength and integrity, keeping drawers squared up. English dovetail joinery is used to assure drawers last. This joinery technique assures the strongest durability and highest quality in your drawers (holds up to 100lbs). We make our dovetails themselves extra deep, adding even more strength to a technique known, world-wide, as the highest of construction standards! The interiors of our drawers are sanded multiple times, then clear coated on all sides with a smooth finish to assure nothing will snag clothing. We use full-extension, high grade metal drawer glides, mounted underneath drawer bottoms to assure optimum operation for the life of your case. These mechanisms are also self-closing, which not only keeps your nursery quiet, but helps protect tiny fingers from slamming drawers! The backs of all Milk Street cases are finished, and screwed on for longevity; never stapled. The bottoms of all our cases feature a cedar dust catcher to keep clothes dust free and also to help protect woolen items. Up to 30 sets of hands will touch each Milk Street piece before it passes final inspection. Each case, as well as the hutch/bookcase includes anti-tipping hardware and foot levelers with instructions for ease of application and use.
