Grow Featured in Chicago Home and Garden

One of our favorite eco-friendly furniture lines has been featured in a great article by Home and Garden. The spread is all about creating a great space for your little one, a space that will grow with your child, and mixing and matching. This article will be featured tomorrow with the Nursery set up on The WGN Midday show from (11am-12pm) locally on channel 9. The segment will also be airing on the  WGN website.







The Roh Crib, by Spot on Square, is featured in the article and is also a Grow favorite. Made here it the USA ( Midwest to be exact). Made of solid natural walnut, and it's most talked about feature; 100% recyclable clear acrylic that is BPA and Phthalate free. This design savvy crib is not only a piece of art, but one that will last. The crib also has a toddler conversion available.

Available in three styles:
Walnut with Grey panels and one side acrylic

Or, the option to have both side acrylic.  All options available at Grow
