Practical and sturdy
Furniture in a children’s room can take a beating. Sometimes it is a cave, a castle or a trampoline and can even fly to the moon. That is why not only should it be nice but also practical and sturdy, functional and tough. Rounded corners and a firm position help to prevent injuries when the children are playing. Drawers should be prevented from sliding right out of their fittings. A high chair should be sturdy enough such that a child is able to climb up it on its own. Look for the “GS” label here.
But take your time. Once you have got the cot and baby changing table the rest can be acquired bit for bit. If you choose sturdy furniture, which can “grow” with the child then you and the child will get the most enjoyment out of it. This is not the only reason for choosing solid wood furniture.
