Are You looking For A Dresser For Your Kid?

Prior to purchasing a kid’s dresser, there are a number of things that need to be factored in. To start with, the articles to be stored and the amount of storage space have to be determined. These sorts of dressers vary in size and most include anywhere from one to eight drawers. This said, here are some things to factor in before the purchase.

1. Is the dresser for a boy or a girl?

If the dresser is for a girl, then it will require additional items such as a mirror. For this item to be included, the dresser has to be a bit wider, and will also require more space. A boy’s dresser on the other hand does not have to be wide and require less space. A dresser with more height and less width in this case is a better option.

2. Age of the kid

If you want a dresser that will last longer, go for a type that will be appropriate even when the child is several years older. Unless you are planning to replace it within a few years, don’t go for a toddler’s style type of a dresser.  

3. Décor of the bedroom

The wanted bureau or dresser for the kid must perfectly coordinate with the existing furniture in the room. For example, if all the other furniture in the room is oak wood, then select the same type for the dresser. If the furniture in the room is made of laminate material, then you might not want to choose bedroom dresser made of wood.

4. Safety considerations

This is one of the most important things to consider when buying any sorts of a kid’s furniture, particularly if you are purchasing for a very young child. Avoid chests or dressers that have jagged or uneven edges as these can cause a lot of harm to the child, especially when playing in the bedroom. The corners have to be smooth. Even when buying second hand furniture, be sure to check for irregularities or defects that could pose a serious safety issue for your kid.

5. Consider purchasing a complete set for the kid’s bedroom

Some of the bets dressers or chests come with matching headboards or nightstands. A number come with a desk and a storage chest. By buying dressers in a set, the concern of whether they will match the décor is done away done. For example, dressers that come with a wardrobe cabinet for hanging the clothes always match with the room’s décor.

6. Material make up

Wood is by far is the commonest material that is used for making dressers for kid’s bedrooms. This said, there are countless variations and varieties of wood that are used to construct these dressers. The quality of the wood has a significant effect on the overall price of the dresser as well as the aesthetic appeal.

All in all, before buying a dresser for a child’s room, it is important to consider the space you will have to work with. The right measurements have to be taken before you decide which piece of furniture to purchase for the kid’s room. Check for damages such as peeling or chipped wood before paying for the dresser for your kid’s bedroom.
