When it comes to kids furniture in New Zealand, families are looking for more than just good design. They want furniture that’s safe, durable, adaptable to small spaces, and built to last. Increasingly, they also want pieces made locally from high-quality plywood and built with care.
At Cutwood, we offer precision CNC cutting services for plywood furniture makers, DIYers, and brands across Aotearoa. Whether you’re crafting a toddler bed, Montessori shelving, or a new flat-pack range, here’s why CNC is the smart way to bring children’s furniture to life.
1. Designed for Kiwi Homes
CNC cut furniture is ideal for family living. Every component is cut to exact measurements, giving you a clean fit, smooth finish, and reliable assembly whether you're building one piece or a full product line.
Features New Zealand families love:
-
Rounded corners and smooth edges for safety
-
Flat-pack capability for easy shipping and setup
-
Modular options that grow with your child
-
Compact builds designed for small homes
By designing with CNC in mind, you can produce smarter, safer furniture that looks great and stands up to everyday life.
2. Quality Materials
We work with trusted local suppliers like Plytech and Plymaster, offering a wide range of plywood suitable for furniture projects. These materials are known for their strength, consistency, and attractive grain, ideal for clear finishes or painted pieces.
We also stock low-VOC, child-safe plywood options, which are perfect for furniture handled daily by children. CNC cutting helps reduce waste too, with precise nesting that maximises the usable sheet area and minimises offcuts.
3. A Growing Market for NZ-Made Kids Furniture
There’s rising demand for New Zealand-made children’s furniture, and a number of standout local brands are helping lead the way:
-
Magic of Wood – Montessori-inspired furniture made in New Zealand from imported Baltic birch
-
KitSmart – Flat-pack plywood furniture kits, proudly manufactured in New Zealand
-
Urban Kids – Design-forward kids beds and furniture (manufacturing location not always specified)
-
The Bunk House – Loft beds and bunk beds designed in NZ (check product pages for build details)
Magic of Wood and KitSmart both manufacture locally, tapping into CNC cutting to ensure precision, repeatability, and consistent finish across every product. This shift towards local manufacturing reflects a broader move to support Kiwi businesses and reduce supply chain delays.
4. Supporting Makers, Brands, and DIY Builders
We work with a wide range of customers from emerging furniture brands and product designers to parents building one-off pieces at home. CNC makes it possible to go from concept to cut quickly, whether you’re:
-
Launching a new line of children’s beds or toy boxes
-
Building Montessori furniture for your own child
-
Creating prototypes to test new design ideas
-
Producing batch runs for online orders or retail
Our team helps with material selection, design file checks, nesting layout optimisation, and even advice on efficient joinery systems like cam and dowel or screw-and-block options.
