Playful Kids Bedding & Room Décor: CompanyKids Review + Giveaway

When looking for new decor for my son’s new big boy room, I instantly thought of Company Kids.  I was on a quest for anything “truck” themed, and knew that I might find just what I was looking for at CompanyKids.  I was right! There were so many fun options, but I found a few that were just right for my little guys room.

About CompanyKids

In the 1800s, our European ancestors settled along the scenic bluffs of western Wisconsin, on the banks of the Mississippi River. From their Scandinavian homeland they brought traditional skills and values passed down from generation to generation. To endure the often brutal Wisconsin winters, they naturally began handcrafting the warm down comforters and featherbeds they knew so well in the “old country.” This strong sense of tradition and craftsmanship was the foundation for what would become The Company Store.

In 1911, we opened our doors as The La Crosse Garment Company and, in the spirit of our ancestors, took pride in the products we made. For six generations we’ve been committed to making and bringing you the very best products. Guaranteed! To this day, we craft natural cotton and large-cluster European down into the ultimate sleeping pleasure – right here in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This gives us total quality control. And, we still believe in putting quality, value and the customer first.

Our Experience

I have to admit that I have never actually made a purchase from The Company Store or CompanyKids. I get their catalog and always love what I see, I just somehow have never purchased from there. Well, after these samples arrived, I can tell you that will change.  I was impressed with to quality of the products as well as how simply adorable they are and I’ll definitely purchase other products in the future.

As I mentioned above, I decided to redo my sons nursery in a truck theme. I am still in the process of the big transformation, but as soon as the truck storage bins and truck hooks arrived, I was excited to get them assembled and in his room.  The Big Rig Truck Hooks are a fun and functional addition. I was taking down a shelf with peg hooks in the room.  My little guy was very accustomed to hanging his towel up after his bath, so I knew I needed to have hooks somewhere in his room as to not upset his little routine. I was so happy when the hooks arrived. They are so cute, and make the perfect replacement for his old pegs.

The hooks were rather easy to install, however they didn’t come with any hardware to attach them to the wall. It did take us a few trips to the hardware store to find the right size screws to fit.  This was slightly frustrating, but not a big deal at all.  My husband was able to put them up in a few minutes. (Now, me plus a power drill equals trouble, so I didn’t even attempt it but if you are handy- go for it!)

The Construction Storage Bins also came ready to be assembled. These I actually did do by myself! I was able to use a simple screwdriver and had them assembled in about 30 minutes. I love the way the truck is raised, it adds interesting dimension and texture to the bin, not to mention how the truck design is also on the side of the bin, I think that is just adorable.  I plan on using these in his room in many different ways as the years go by.  For now, one contains all of his stuffed friends, and the other has books next to his rocker for bedtime, or anytime, reading.
