HOW IT'S MADE
INTEGRITY MEANS DOING IT RIGHT
WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING
Quality furniture that is built to last.
In a flooded furniture market that focuses on low-quality, budget furniture, we could do things differently, but quality and integrity are important parts of our furniture-making process.
Romina makes no compromise in the pursuit of absolute quality in baby furniture. We create furniture with passion, commitment, and transparency. You may not get to see how your vegetables are grown or how your clothing is designed, but you can see exactly how your furniture is made when you choose pieces from the Romina line.
The journey of each piece of our furniture starts with the selection of wood that is harvested with respect to Mother Nature. Then, our passionate team utilizes modern technologies to transform the wood from its raw form into beautiful furniture that will enhance your home for years to come.
NOT ALL WOOD IS CREATED EQUAL
All plants and trees are beautiful in their own way, just as our children are all unique and beautiful in their own way.
However, some trees are better for some applications, while others are better for making furniture.
We use European beech trees in the construction of our furniture. This tree species grows in a temperate continental climate and goes through seasonal changes. As a member of the hardwood family, beech trees take decades to grow to maturity. Once mature, these trees can tower as high as 80-feet tall with robust trunks and a broad canopy. Their slow growth rate allows for a harder, more dense wood when compared to softer woods, like pine and poplar.
SUPERIOR MOISTURE EXTRACTION
All Romina lumber undergoes an extensive, non-toxic drying process to ensure all excess moisture is eliminated.
Boards are placed on ventilated racks within a climate controlled room where hot air extracts every last drop of moisture. Once dry, steamed air is applied to open the pores of the wood to allow even more moisture to escape.
This drying process can take several months, depending on the density and thicknesses of the boards. In order to preserve the mechanical and environmental resistance of the wood, the moisture content of each board never exceeds eight percent.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
With the optimum moisture content achieved, the boards are inspected and identified based on strength, uniformity, and consistency.
Any board that shows even the slightest structural weakness is set aside and used in applications that don’t require structural support. After the initial selection process, boards are sorted yet again based on size, grain variations, and appearance to ensure only the most beautiful boards are displayed on the top and front of our furniture.
PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY
Romina is made up of a team of highly trained specialists who are skilled at using the latest technology to ensure the perfection of every board in every piece of furniture.
From calculating tension points to drilling assembly holes, double checking curves, and accounting for environmental stress, our team is the best in the business when it comes to creating industry-leading, luxury furniture.
All components are re-evaluated by another team of wood artisans whose sole job is to look for design and structural consistency.
SHAPE AND PURPOSE
Our skilled artisans finally reveal our Romina designs by assembling crib sides, drawer fronts, and more.
This process involves very little modern technology. Instead, we rely on love and care during this part of the process.
Furniture parts are assembled using non-toxic adhesives, metal screws, and nails. Every structural component includes two fastening features to ensure it will last a lifetime.
SOFT CLOSING AND SMOOTH GLIDING
All Romina doors and drawers feature German-made hardware systems. Glides and hinges are made of zinc-plated, anti-corrosive steel that is permanently lubricated and load reinforced.
These systems are equipped with a hydraulic soft-closing mechanism, full extension, anti-detachment, and adjustment features. Our hydraulic soft-closing mechanisms are guaranteed for 80,000 uses, which equates to just over 70 years’ worth of average use.
10-STEP FINISHING PROCESS
The finishing process is laborious, but it’s worth every second.
It includes a 10-step process of staining, painting, and sanding to create the perfect finish on every piece of baby furniture.
When you open the box and see your Romina furniture for the first time, you’ll know that many people have invested lots of work, passion, and dedication to ensure every piece of wood is shaped and finished just right. We hope that you and your family enjoy your Romina furniture just as much as we enjoyed making it.
