Always supervise young children during play, inspect the product before each use, and discontinue use if any piece becomes damaged. The included 1" acrylic cubes are not suitable for children under 3.
Wood:Each piece celebrates the natural grain and texture of real wood. Because we avoid heavy lacquers and plastic coatings, the surface may feel slightly textured or “raw” compared to mass-produced toys. This is intentional—and part of the charm and character of working with real, natural materials.
Acrylic:Not all acrylic is created equal. At Maison Rue, we use high-quality, crystal-clear acrylic specifically made for children’s play. Our Acrylic is CPC + CE certified and safety tested to meet and pass all CPSIA & EN71 standards, including testing for lead and phthalates.
Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners.
