Because the shelves are staggered, different types of equipment can be displayed on each shelf and is easily seen by the children. The units encourage independence, making good choices, selecting materials, to look carefully. Please note The additional weight of the rear mounted dry wipe boards and mirrors necessitates an increase in the depth of this unit to 535mm.
