The Shortie
Description
Introducing the Shortie: Your Compact Play Solution!
Love the Whatsie but need something a tad shorter? Meet Shortie - the perfect fit for those who adore the Whatsie's features but are looking for a more compact solution. While it mirrors the beloved Whatsie in every fabulous way, the Shortie is uniquely shorter on one side (60cm instead of 84cm), making it the ideal choice for cosier spaces.
The Shortie brings all the wonderful features of our best-selling Whatsie into a snugger design. And here's a little extra: the bases zip together, transforming into an exciting play pit for even more jumping, tumbling and play options.
The 'sofa meets playground’ design encourages open-ended play, fosters creativity, enhances gross motor skills and boosts confidence as children explore through climbing and tumbling…safely …YAY!
With its comfortable and versatile design, the Shortie has been created to grow along with your child and play an imperative role in their development whilst continuing to stimulate their growing minds and changing needs.
Not only aesthetically gorgeous, but the Shortie also oozes practicality with its easy-to-clean finish and is both stain and water-resistant. Win-Win!
Uniting fun and functionality, the Shortie is a family essential that won’t be banished to the playroom but will be loved for stories, cuddles, hide and seek and all things play.
Welcome Shortie into your home and let the fun begin.
Some fun facts about the Shortie:
The Shortie consists of EIGHT individual pieces:
Two large bases that measure 168 cm long / 60 cm wide / 12.5 cm deep.
Configure your Shortie couch in two ways for the perfect fit! When you place the two base pieces side by side, the couch stretches to 120 cm in length and reaches a depth of 84 cm. Prefer a longer layout? Simply stack the bases one on top of the other for a sleek 168 cm length and a compact depth of 60 cm. Choose the setup that best suits your space!
- Two full-length half trapezium pieces that measure 60 cm long / 30 cm high / 25 cm deep.
- Two armrests perfectly sized for little hands that measure 55 cm long / 12.5 cm high / 12.5 cm deep
- TWO BONUS SPOT CUSHIONS
The Shortie has been designed to have the bases side by side for a total length of 120 cm.
Our half-trapeziums:
We believe they are the best on the market, and here is why:
- They cover the full length of the couch, which means more room for everyone to lean back.
- Provide greater height when used as pillars in a building.
- The top of the trapezium is 15 cm in width, making it incredibly stable to build on top as well as the perfect balance beam for little feet.
- One side of the trapezium piece is flat to sit perfectly flush against a wall, or the play couch to be used as a plough on a truck, a cowcatcher on a train, the front wing on a Formula 1 car, a footrest, and so much more.
