Nursery Tables and Chairs Buying Guide

You want your child’s nursery to be comfortable, safe and fun. Choosing the right nursery tables, chairs and seats can transform a nursery from a simple sleeping space into your child's own tiny apartment!     

Types of Nursery Tables and Chairs

Nursery tables and chairs are available in a variety of shapes such as circles, rectangles, squares and more imaginative shapes such as flowers. Likewise, there are numerous colourful designs that appeal to children. Nursery tables and chairs are commonly made of wood, plastic or metal. They are available as table and chair sets, stackable chair sets or individual pieces like a rocking-chair or armchair.     

High chairs are another useful piece of nursery furniture. When buying a high chair, ensure that the base is broad and stable, that there are straps to hold the baby at the waist and between the legs and that the front and sides of the seat are securely barred to prevent the baby from slipping.    

Types of Nursery Seats

Nursery seats are shaped as booster seats, stools, sofas, bean bags etc. You can have a variety of different seating furniture and coordinate the pieces based on design and colour - just as you would with your own living room. For example, you may wish to provide a couple of chairs or stools for use at the table while your child is drawing or colouring and then a sofa or a bean bag for your child to relax on.     

When Buying Nursery Tables and Chairs

  • You will need different types of nursery furniture for babies and young children. For example a changing table will be more useful for a baby under two years of age than a normal kid’s table. Hence it is a good idea to plan for baby furniture and children's furniture separately. Try to buy nursery furniture that can be used for a span of four to five years.
  • Give priority to functionality over style and design when you select nursery tables, chairs and seats.
  • Be careful not to cramp the nursery with too much furniture.
  • Ensure safety by checking for sharp corners, loose attachments and harmful materials.
