Child Furniture Terms
By Peter G
Important pieces of a child's space are storage drawers or toy chests, bunk beds or trundle beds, child sized chairs and tables, bean bags, armoires. Children look at how they can interact with a piece of furniture. Kids and their parents want usability and durability, so kids furniture must be solid and well-made. Parents often design their child space with furniture easy to update as the child ages. Other parents seek the familiar and furniture items that fit in well with the rest of the house.
Now, let's take a look at a short list, not claiming to be exhaustive, of child furniture terms you may not understand, although you see them often on furniture related websites.
