Nilo has been in business since 1992, without incident. I will only produce top quality goods that hopefully exceed expectations. With this philosophy, I have and continue to design superior goods which exceed specification, as well. Perhaps 1/4" panels will work, I use 3/8". While 5/8" thick hardwood framing may be acceptable, ours is 7/8". It is my belief that if you do things right, you'll never go wrong. There is no substitution for quality. So, in principle, our products must first meet my own barometer of what quality is. Once that is established, we get into the specifics of ASTM, CPSC and other guidelines to conclude our final product.
For many years, we have had a product safety plan in place. Our suppliers, factories, agents all work toward a common goal of obtaining all factual data on our components, prior to production. In this way, we have no surprises. Testing before production will guarantee the results at the end, given you have trustworthy partners, which we do in fact have. A paper trail is created when goods are purchased and used in our product line. We have also recently decided to implemented a new plan of stamping each piece of wood in an inconspicuous place with our PO numbers. This will more easily allow us to track which supplies were used during a products production. Look for this on all new products produced this year and beyond.
Our table tops approach zero parts formaldehyde, lower than even CA's requirements. We are able to issue the below Certifications of Compliance (COC's). Please note, relative to remaining products needing forthcoming phthalate testing, while our suppliers have indicated our plastic toys are ABS and are not expected to contain phthalates, they have not yet provided us the specific documentation or MSDS sheets on them and we have not tested in that regard, nor is it mandatory to do so until next year. With that being said, we continue to request said documentation and currently are having these products tested. Stay tuned. Below, you may peruse our COC's and rest easy, knowing that Nilo products are in fact SAFE for you to enjoy!
In conclusion, I thank you for your time, your support and entrusting me to bring you quality products that are safe, sound and worthy of your investment.
