Delivery time within Germany is usually 2–4 working days, and for deliveries to other EU countries, 3–6 working days. If the ordered product is available in our logistics center, it is typically shipped within 1–3 business days. Depending on the destination country and product size, delivery may take up to 14 days in total. You can find the exact delivery timeframe on the respective product page.

A change of address is generally only possible before shipment. If the package is already in transit, you may be able to request a change directly with the shipping provider via the tracking link – however, this is not guaranteed.
Usually, the delivery person leaves a notification card indicating whether the package was left with a neighbor or when a new delivery attempt will be made. Sometimes the package is also stored at a nearby pickup location.
Please always inspect the goods immediately upon receipt and refuse acceptance if there are visible defects. If defects are only discovered during assembly, please proceed as follows:
1. Report the damage immediately to service@roba-kids.com.
2. Include the following information in your message:
- Where was the product purchased?
- What is the model number of the product? (You can find this on the barcode on the package)
- Are one or more packages affected?
- Attach at least 2 photos of the damages.
- If individual parts are damaged, please mention the part numbers from the assembly instructions so we can initiate the replacement process.
We will address your request as quickly as possible and find a solution.
Returns
If you ordered through the roba web shop, please send an email with your order number (the invoice is included in the package) to service@roba-kids.com. You have a 14-day return guarantee without providing any reason. The item must be unused and in its original packaging. You will receive a return label and can drop off the package at the nearest parcel shop.
If the product was purchased from another retailer, please contact their customer service first.
For customers with a billing address in Germany or Austria, returns are free of charge within 14 days.
For orders from other European countries, we reserve the right to retain the shipping costs unless there is a product defect or damage and the return is made because the product does not meet the expectations ("I don't like it!").
As soon as the returned goods are registered as received in our warehouse, you will receive a notification that your order has been approved for reimbursement. This step ensures that your return is properly processed.
The actual reimbursement is carried out by your chosen payment provider (credit card, PayPal, etc.) and usually takes 2-4 business days. For shop orders, you will also receive an email once the reimbursement has been processed so that you are informed about the status of your refund.

Your place in the queue is secured, and the product will be delivered to you as soon as it becomes available. Depending on the payment method you choose, external payment providers (such as Klarna or PayPal) may require you to pay in advance, as availability is not considered in these cases.
Quality & Safety
We exclusively manufacture products made from tested, certified, and environmentally friendly materials. All our products are rigorously tested according to the relevant safety criteria of standard testing procedures before we bring them to market. For us, it is a matter of course that we develop roba baby & children's products according to the latest EN safety standards.
Materials & Certificates:
All the materials we use are regularly tested for freedom from harmful substances and safety by independent institutes and accredited laboratories. This applies to all wood materials such as solid wood, chipboard, MDF boards, and plywood, as well as all textiles, mattresses, films, paints, varnishes, plastic materials, and packaging.
All the varnishes we use are water-based, pollutant-free, environmentally friendly, and saliva-resistant. As a result, the surfaces are harmless to health, even if your child licks or bites them.
All the materials we use are regularly tested by independent institutes and accredited laboratories for harmful substances and safety. For more information, you can contact our roba customer service.
The chipboards used in our melamine-coated furniture comply with emission class 0. The formaldehyde content is very low and well below the legally prescribed limit. However, it cannot be said that they are completely free of formaldehyde. A completely formaldehyde-free environment does not exist. Formaldehyde is, among other things, a metabolic product that can be detected in small amounts even in solid wood.
Everyday example: 1 apple contains more formaldehyde than a 3-door roba wardrobe.
Due to the production process, your new furniture may initially emit a certain odor. However, this is completely harmless to health and usually dissipates within 48 hours. During the initial period, thorough ventilation can help, possibly with drawers and doors left open. In freshly renovated rooms, odors can also come from the floor, walls, or ceiling, not just from the new furniture.
Our children's beds can withstand a load of up to 50 kg. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee higher loads. Therefore, an adult should not sit on the children's bed – even if it has been converted into a junior bed. The children's beds are designed exclusively for use by small or growing children.
Natural wood is always subject to a certain process of darkening. This is intensified by direct sunlight and unfortunately cannot be avoided. Even furniture pieces purchased later will darken again and, after a certain period, will largely match the already existing furniture. However, color and texture differences cannot be completely ruled out. Generally, these differences are not perceived as bothersome.
