Frequently Asked Questions
Wood Products
We partner with small workshops and artisans across the United States to produce our pieces. We’re proud to work with artisans and support small businesses throughout our supply chain.
Safety is a top priority for us, and we go to great lengths to keep our products free of toxic chemicals. To that end, our paints and finishes are isocyanate-free, phosphate-free, formaldehyde-free, and lead-free. Additionally, our play pieces & furniture have been rigorously tested by a CPSC-approved third-party safety lab for lead, heavy metals, and to comply with California's stringent Prop 65 requirement.
We take safety and environmental responsibility seriously, so we only use the finest materials for our toys and furniture. We source naturally sustainable Baltic birch plywood from the Baltics and solid maple grown here in North America. We chose these materials for their unparalleled strength, aesthetic appeal, and eco-friendly characteristics. Our nontoxic finishes are lead-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free, and have also been independently tested for lead, phthalates, heavy metals, and adherence to the federal toy safety standard. For more information on our materials or processes, please contact us at support@miltonandgoose.com.
Yes! Our products have been rigorously tested by an independent, CPSC-accredited lab to comply with relevant federal regulations. Our kitchens meet or exceed ASTM F 963 toy safety standards. For more information on our compliance certificates, please contact us at support@miltonandgoose.com.
We built a one-of-a-kind play kitchen that marries form, function, and safety. Our play kitchens take a cue from real designer kitchens, have been rigorously tested to meet or exceed applicable safety standards, and are handcrafted right here in the USA from furniture-grade, eco-friendly woods and nontoxic finishes. No batteries, no particle board, and no MDF. Our play kitchens, like any quality children's furniture, are built to last, from day to day, sibling to sibling, and generation to generation.
Many of our pieces do not require any assembly, and for those that do, very minimal assembly is required. The assembly can be done in a short amount of time with basic tools.
We build our toys and furniture with years of future play in mind, so to ensure a long lifespan for your product, surface clean only with a dry soft cloth. To clean small stains, use a slightly damp cloth and if necessary, a mild detergent. Wipe all spills immediately and avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or scrubs, including ammonia- or alcohol-based formulas.
For outdoor pieces, wipe dry after use. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or scrubs, including ammonia- or alcohol-based formulas. Stainless steel sinks are dishwasher safe. When not in use, store in a covered area away from direct sunlight. During colder months, such as winter, it's advisable to store indoors. CAUTION: Stainless steel sink basins may get hot in direct sunlight.
Wallpaper
With its innovative self-adhesive material, this wallpaper is designed to adhere to lightly textured walls. However, we strongly recommend purchasing a sample first to ensure compatibility with your paint and
surface.
The wallpaper adheres well to properly primed and painted surfaces, with little to no residue or damage upon removal. It's durable, resisting ripping and wrinkling, and there's no time limit for removal. However, results may vary on orange peel texture and certain 'easy to clean' paints, which may contain additives hindering adhesion. We highly recommend testing a sample on your wall for at least one week, especially on textured surfaces or newly painted walls. Wait at least 30 days after applying new paint before installing wallpaper. This allows the paint time to out-gas and prevents bubbling in your newly installed wallpaper. Not suitable for brick or non-painted cement surfaces.
Yes, this wallpaper is a great fit for bathrooms. It performs well in humidity and steam. However, please note it is not waterproof and isn't recommended for areas constantly splashed with water.
Because the skill of application, surface paints and primers, textures, and site conditions vary so much and are out of our control, Loomwell products hold no warranty or guarantee. We strongly recommend purchasing sample pieces first to test.
Each panel is 24" wide and is available in lengths from 2 to 12 feet. To determine the number of panels needed, measure the width of your wall in inches and divide by 24", rounding up to the nearest whole number. This gives the number of panels needed to cover the wall from left to right. For panel length, measure from the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the crown molding (if present) or ceiling in inches. Divide by 12" and round up to the nearest whole number to determine the required panel length in feet.
For example, a wall that is 112" wide, will need 5 panels. 112 ÷ 24 = 4.66, round up to 5
If that wall is 93" in height, you will need an 8-foot panel. 93 ÷ 12 = 7.75, round up to 8
When measuring around windows or doors, imagine them not there for seamless pattern alignment. Trim panels as needed for a perfect fit.
For best installation, use a warm, damp microfiber rag to clean the wall surface or window and allow it to completely dry. (This suggestion is for existing walls with probable fingerprints and dirt resulting from day-to-day foot traffic and use). Make sure all previous cleaning solutions are completely dry and gone. We strongly advise against hiring a "professional installer" as they are not familiar with this product which may result in installation issues.
For more installation tips, see the installation video here.
Start removing wallpaper from the corners of the room. Use a small blade or tool to lift a corner if needed, doing so discreetly to avoid marks. Once started, peel off the wallpaper gradually.
For smoother removal, peel in the same direction as installation, focusing on 18- to 24-inch sections. Take your time to prevent tears or damage, especially with older paint. Peel downward to manage excess paper.
After removal, enjoy a clean surface with no residue or damage. Dispose of the wallpaper in recycling bins, as it's environmentally safe and biodegradable. Note that panels are not reusable due to adhesive properties.

Shipping
We ship our products via UPS Ground. For orders outside of the continental US, we'll offer alternative shipping methods at checkout.
All of our products are shipped via UPS Ground, which takes anywhere from 1-5 business days. Our products ship from Pennsylvania and Connecticut, so you can expect a shorter transit time on the east coast and a few days more to get to the west coast. For orders outside of the continental US, please refer to the shipping times listed at checkout.
Yes, you will receive an email with tracking information.
Unfortunately, due to the weight and size of our packages, overnight shipping is typically very costly. Please reach out to support@miltonandgoose.com to discuss your options for a quicker delivery timeframe.
We offer shipping to the United States and Canada. We hope to offer more international shipping destinations in the future. Please sign up for our newsletter to be notified once international shipping is available.
We are happy to offer free shipping on our entire website for orders going to the continental US; however in some cases, we charge an Oversized Fee on some of our larger pieces. Because many of our larger products ship nearly fully assembled (yay!), our boxes fall into the "oversized" category with UPS, so to help offset a portion of these additional fees, we charge a small, flat-fee oversized rate on these items. Products that have an associated Oversized Fee are clearly marked in the product listing, and orders that are subject to shipping charges (i.e. international orders, Hawaii and Alaska) will be calculated at checkout.

Company
Our company name is inspired by a painting of the famed 17th Century English poet, John Milton, and a colorful wooden goose. These two pieces of art were featured prominently in our company founder Shari Raymond’s childhood home and were the launching point of countless hours of imaginative play and storytelling. To her, they represented the incredible power of a child’s imagination. This is what inspires our designs--a simple prompt to let your child's imagination take flight.
