The Maxtrix^TM line offers 2 colors-Natural Birch and Solid White. All beds feature chamfered edges for an extra smooth look. Our bolts are designed with a stylish chrome finish. Crown and base addition for our storage units are intricately crafted to bring a whole new level of style into your child's bedroom.

Rock Lock^TM

Maxtrix^TM offers our amazing rock solid Rock Lock^TM connection mechanism, which allows for a regular bed to be easily converted into a multitude of options such as a captain's bed, low loft, bunk bed, high loft etc. Our system safety compresses the leg extensions onto the bed legs, via a solid steel bolt. This mechanism, which solely relies on steel to compress the wood pieces together, gives you one of the best, strongest and safest connections for a bed system- which makes any of our bed configurations absolutely rock solid.

Drawers

All of our drawers have been carefully crafted to be BIG and oversized where possible. Extra wide & extra high & extra deep - we know that there is nothing more irritating than squeezing toys or clothes into drawers without enough space. We pride ourselves of having among the deepest drawers in the industry. Our Drawers feature hi-tech hidden, smooth running, ball bearing drawer glides so can't see any unsightly runners. They significantly reduce any "shimmering" or "wobble". You will feel the quality difference. All our drawers are crafted out of solid wood with English Dovetail joints.

The Birch tree

Birch wood

Birch trees can reach an age of 300 years and become 80 ft (25 m) high, but generally they are fully grown after 80 years. Birch is abundant all over the northern globe, and is a well managed resource from an environmental perspective.

Birch wood is an excellent hardwood to manufacture furniture with, due to it´s unique combination of hardness and toughness.

It is amongst the hardest woods used for manufacturing furniture, which provides longer durability of the furniture and is much less prone “dings” and scratches than other woods such as poplar and pine.

Its amongst the toughest woods used for furniture, which means that birch has an excellent ability to resist stress fractures (there is no point in buying a hardwood furniture piece, if it easily chips).

At Maxtrix™ we have found that it is the unique balance of these 2 components, that have been most important to us, when selecting the wood material used to manufacture Maxtrix™. Additionally we find that the natural color and grain pattern of birch is beautiful which is an added bonus.

We hope that the displayed "Hardness & Toughness Scale" illustrates our reasoning.

Below please note the relative hardness and toughness to other wood species often used in furniture production.

The Janka (or side) hardness test measures the force required to embed a .444 inch steel ball to half its diameter in wood. This is one of the best measures of the ability of wood species to withstand denting and wear. It is also a good indicator of how hard a species is to saw or nail. The higher the number, the harder the wood.

The toughness scales reflects the relative bending strength between birch and other wood species measured in Mpa.
