Where to buy Montessori furniture in Malaysia & Singapore

Ever since I posted Vee’s 3 years 3 months old update, several Mummies have been asking me where to buy Montessori furniture and materials. Let’s start with the furniture first.

Here are some suppliers I found in Malaysia and Singapore:

Malaysia

1. Osaka Education Supplies

  • Website: http://www.osakaeducation.com.my/index.html

  • Address (Showroom): Lot 2-079, 2nd Floor, Endah Parade, No.1, Jalan 1/149E, Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur

What I bought:

  • White wooden tower shelf c48 (W12 L48 H35), white, price RM290 (For wood finishing, price is RM490) – Perfect as a sensorial shelf to display the Montessori Pink Tower
  • Delivery charge to KL: RM30 per trip

Additional Notes:

  • Showroom: quite cramp, sells educational toys too
  • Staff at showroom: patient, answers enquiries, generally good, contactable easily by phone
  • Delivery: Wrong wooden storage shelf (too long) for first visit, sent again, assembled wheels on the spot, generally polite staff
  • Delivers to Singapore customers as well

2. Kids Station Marketing

  • Shop: same level as Osaka Education Supplies, sells a wide range of educational materials and books

3. Medley Hallmark

5. IKEA Damansara

  • Website: http://www.ikea.com/my/en/
  • Address: No.2 Jalan PJU 7/2, Mutiara Damansara, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia

What I bought:

  • TROFAST toy storage series in pine wood, option to use with the boxes or wooden planks (as shelves)

Additional Notes:

  • I couldn’t find any low long shelves suitable for Montessori homeschool at IKEA
  • TROFAST boxes: suitable to store toys / materials / supplies; small boxes as sensory bins or the day’s activities; easy to rotate because they slide into the frame instead of being stacked up on one another
  • The TROFAST wooden planks can easily slide in and out of the frame, so the child may be distracted by it

Here’s a picture shared previously at Mummy’s Reviews:

Singapore

1. New Age Kidz

  • Website: http://www.newagekidz.com
  • Tel: +65 6748 9060
  • Address (Showroom): 3023 Ubi Road 3 #05-15A UbiPlex I Singapore 408663

2. IKEA Singapore – Alexandra and Tampines

Tips to buying homeschool furniture:

  • Measure your room and sketch a map with dimensions before visiting the showroom or shopping online
  • Google for “kindergarten furniture malaysia” or “kindergarten furniture singapore”
  • Ask preschool / Kindergarten staff to refer you to the school’s supplier
  • If possible, buy direct from manufacturer or distributor for best prices
  • Try to keep to plain or wooden colours (instead of colourful shelves). This helps the materials look more attractive. (On hindsight, I find the TROFAST red boxes too “loud” in the classroom.)

If you’ve more shops to add to this directory, please mention them in the comment box below. Thank you!
