At Create Room, we believe a dedicated creative space should not only inspire joy but also provide a foundation of trust and security. When you invest in a DreamBox, you're investing in a piece of furniture built to last, to be a safe haven for your creativity, and to meet rigorous standards for your peace of mind. Our commitment to safety is woven into every stage of design and manufacturing.
Built to Withstand the Test of Time (and Creativity)
The core of our safety philosophy is preventative design and robust construction. Before any piece earns the DreamBox name, it undergoes extensive engineering analysis and physical testing to ensure it can handle real-world use.
- Material Integrity: We use high-quality, furniture-grade materials selected for their strength and durability. This includes thick cabinet-grade plywood, not particleboard, for the primary structure, ensuring resistance to warping and sagging under load.
- Weight Capacity & Stability: Each component-from the adjustable shelving tracks to the fold-out tables-is engineered to support significant weight. The patented tri-fold system is designed with balanced kinematics, so the tables deploy and retract smoothly and securely.
- In-Plant Testing: Our manufacturing process includes stress tests on mechanisms and finishes. We simulate years of opening and closing, weight loading on shelves, and the engagement of latches and hinges to eliminate any potential failure points.
Compliance and Certifications: The Formal Assurances
While much of our safety process is about exceeding expectations, we also adhere to recognized standards. Our primary compliance focus is on ASTM International standards, the benchmark for furniture safety in the United States.
- ASTM F2057: This is the crucial standard for clothing storage unit safety, specifically addressing tip-over risk. The DreamBox is designed and tested to meet or exceed these stability requirements, a vital consideration for a tall unit with extendable components.
- Voluntary Upholstered Furniture Flammability: We carefully select all fabrics and foams used in any DreamBox components for inherent fire-resistant properties.
- Made in the USA: Every DreamBox is manufactured in our U.S. facility. This allows for unparalleled quality control and ensures compliance with all applicable federal and state safety regulations.
Your Role in the Safety Partnership: Tips for Secure Setup
Safety is a partnership. Our engineering provides the foundation, and your proper setup completes it. Here’s how you can ensure your DreamBox remains a secure part of your home.
- The Critical First Step: Secure to the Wall. This is our most important safety recommendation. We strongly advise using the provided hardware to anchor your DreamBox to wall studs. It’s a simple, one-time task that offers lifelong security.
- Respect the Load Guidelines. While our InView Totes and shelves are sturdy, avoid concentrating extreme weight in one spot. Distribute heavier items across multiple lower shelves.
- Maintain Clear Pathways. When your DreamBox is open, be mindful of the table extensions. Arrange your room so you can move around your creative space comfortably and safely.
- Regular Check-Ups. Periodically check the tightness of knobs, handles, and any visible fasteners. A quick visual inspection ensures everything remains in perfect working order.
A Foundation for Creative Freedom
Ultimately, our safety standards are about more than compliance-they are about creating a reliable sanctuary. When you don’t have to worry about the stability of your workspace, you are free to fully immerse yourself in the joy of your projects. We build the DreamBox with the same care and intention we hope you bring to your creations, because your safety is foundational to everything we do.
