Wooden Coat Lockers & Classroom Cubbies

The MJK-CL-201 is a five-section storage coat locker purpose-built for Montessori classrooms, long day-care centres, and primary-school transition spaces. Each section provides one child with an independent personal space for the autonomous handling of coats, backpacks, and changing items — the physical foundation of Montessori Practical Life pedagogy and a direct vehicle for cultivating two core competencies: Independence and Order.

Body material: birch-faced plywood with a poplar core as standard. Choose 15 mm or 18 mm panel thickness. The 18 mm version uses 13-ply construction. Full-birch core is available on request; timber origin is confirmed in the quotation. SHST report HJ-QAT-260457 dated 31 March 2026 records an average of 0.039 ppm for the tested 18 mm, 13-ply uncoated HWPW-VC plywood sample using ASTM D6007-22, against the report's stated 0.05 ppm limit. This result applies to that sample; it does not establish results for 15 mm panels, later production batches or finished furniture. Before quotation, confirm the model, destination market, applicable tests, laboratory, sample, report addressee, cost and timing. No MDF. No softwood substitutes.

Surface finish: hardwax oil or sprayed clear lacquer, buyer's choice. Hardwax oil is a penetrating treatment that preserves the wood's natural grain and tactile feel — matte and natural, the preferred finish for Montessori naturalist aesthetics. Sprayed clear lacquer is a film-forming treatment with abrasion resistance and easy wipe-clean maintenance — preferred for long day-care centres and high-frequency-use environments. Confirm the selected finish and any applicable surface-safety tests for the destination market before quotation.

Unlike other coat-locker variants in this series, MJK-CL-201 adds one row of 5 open compartments at the top and another row of 5 open compartments at the bottom, on top of the standard 5-section hanging area. This gives each child a complete personal storage system — hanging area plus 2 independent small compartments — suitable for hats, books, art supplies, and seasonal accessories. Panel edges are sanded and finished without edge banding as standard, with rounded corners. Edge banding is available on request. Confirm the selected finish and any applicable surface-safety tests for the destination market before quotation. Each of the 5 hanging sections is fitted with 1 metal hook (no horizontal hanging rail; the hook is mounted on each section's independent panel at a child-accessible sight-line height).

Overall dimensions: 122 cm W × 33 cm D × 122 cm H. Shipped flat-pack (KD / Knock-Down) for buyer-side assembly — significantly reducing container volume and optimising sea-freight cost. All dimensions are OEM-customisable.

Application contexts: Montessori Children's House (ages 3–6) entry zones / long day-care cloakrooms / early-learning centre changing areas / P-1 classroom transition spaces.

The MJK-CL-208 is a functional innovation: a five-section coat locker integrated with a child-height changing bench in a single unit. It uses a dual-depth construction — a 25 cm upper hanging zone and a 33 cm lower storage zone — with the 8 cm of forward extension forming both the top surface of 5 bottom storage compartments AND a seated changing area for children. This delivers a two-in-one use: saving classroom floor space and optimising the child's hang-coat-sit-change-shoes-enter-classroom continuous motion path.

This design directly addresses the Montessori pedagogy's Independence core: a child does not need an external bench or floor seating to change shoes; the entire entry preparation sequence happens within the child's own locker section, reducing entry-time congestion and adult intervention in mixed-age classrooms. The design also satisfies the Practical Life zone's requirement for complete motion paths — every action of a task, from start to finish, performed within the same physical space.

Before quotation, confirm the model, destination market, applicable tests, laboratory, sample, report addressee, cost and timing. No MDF. No softwood substitutes.

Surface finish: hardwax oil or sprayed clear lacquer, buyer's choice. Hardwax oil preserves natural wood grain with a matte feel — suited to upmarket Montessori classroom naturalist aesthetics. Sprayed clear lacquer offers abrasion resistance and wipe-clean maintenance — suited to high-frequency shoe-changing environments where children's shoe soles may introduce sand or dirt. For this model specifically — because the bench surface is a high-contact area — we recommend sprayed clear lacquer for long day-care and school environments, though the final choice remains with the buyer.

Panel edges are sanded and finished without edge banding as standard, with rounded corners. Edge banding is available on request. Confirm the selected finish and any applicable surface-safety tests for the destination market before quotation. Each of the 5 hanging sections is fitted with 1 metal hook (no horizontal hanging rail). 5 open storage compartments at the base (corresponding to the 5 sections) — for shoes, backpacks, or indoor-change footwear.

Overall dimensions: 122 cm W × 122 cm H, with dual depth — hanging zone 25 cm / bench + storage zone 33 cm. Shipped flat-pack (KD / Knock-Down) for buyer-side assembly. All dimensions are OEM-customisable.

Application contexts: Montessori entry zones (especially shoe-changing settings) / cold-climate long day-care centres (frequent coat-and-shoe transitions) / early-learning drop-off zones / premium early-learning spaces requiring entry hall integration.

The MJK-CL-203 is the flat-base version of MJK's integrated changing-bench coat locker: a five-section coat locker combined with a child-height changing bench in a single unit. It uses a dual-depth construction — a 25 cm upper hanging zone and a 33 cm lower storage zone — with the forward extension forming both the top surface of 5 bottom storage compartments AND a seated changing area for children. This delivers a two-in-one use: saving classroom floor space and optimising the child's hang-coat-sit-change-shoes-enter-classroom continuous motion path.

The only difference between the MJK-CL-203 and the MJK-CL-208 is the base profile. The MJK-CL-203 has a flat base that sits flush on the floor with no ground clearance; the MJK-CL-208 has a stepped (legged) base that leaves an open space underneath. All other specifications — 5 hanging sections, 5 single-row base storage compartments, 1 metal hook per section, and the dual depth (25 cm / 33 cm) — are identical. Buyers choose between the two based on floor-cleaning method and visual preference.
